What kind of kitchens do we fit in Coatbridge?

In and around Coatbridge, homes range across sandstone tenement flats, four-in-a-block flats, new town houses and interwar council-built semis. New-town houses in East Kilbride and Cumbernauld often have a compact galley, while tenement and four-in-a-block flats tend to have a small kitchen off the hall or at the back.

Common stairs in tenements and upper four-in-a-block flats mean units are carried by hand, while new-town estates may have parking courts some distance from the door. Lanarkshire's mains water is soft, so limescale is rarely an issue and taps, sinks and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner.

Regulations for kitchen work in Coatbridge

In Scotland, replacing kitchen doors and drawer fronts counts as replacing fitments, which does not need a building warrant. A listed building may need listed building consent if original fitted joinery is being altered or removed. If plinth or cornice lighting is added at the same time, the wiring must meet the building standards and BS 7671, so ask for the right electrical certificate. Nothing else about a door change involves building standards.

The New Lanark World Heritage Site, other listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent for new vents, and flat owners may need neighbours' agreement.

Worth knowing before the fit

Allow for delivery time on made-to-measure doors; your kitchen stays usable while you wait, as nothing comes off until they arrive.
If you let out a Coatbridge property, new doors can often be fitted between tenancies in a day or two once they have been delivered.
Open the sink cupboard in your Coatbridge kitchen and press the base; soft or swollen board means that unit needs replacing before new doors.
If the worktops are also worn, consider replacing them in the same visit rather than fitting new doors beside tired surfaces.

Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Coatbridge

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Coatbridge?

Guide prices in Coatbridge are about £940 to £2,800 including VAT for 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.

Do you cover all of Coatbridge?

Yes. We work across Coatbridge, including the ML5 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Airdrie and Viewpark. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

Can new doors be fitted to my existing kitchen units?

Usually, yes, as long as the carcasses are sound. We measure every door and drawer front at the survey and check the hinge positions, because sizes vary between makers and older kitchens often use sizes that are no longer standard. Doors are then made to measure or matched to your units, drilled for new hinges and hung so the gaps line up across each run.

When does a new kitchen make more sense than new doors?

When the problem is more than the look. If several carcasses are swollen or broken, the layout does not work for you, or you want to move the sink, hob or appliances, new doors only cover the issue. New doors suit kitchens whose cabinets are square, dry and well fixed and whose layout still works. We will tell you at the survey which route we think makes sense.

What if some of my kitchen units are water damaged?

Damaged units are replaced before the new doors go on, because swollen chipboard does not recover. The sink base is the usual problem, from slow leaks at the trap or tap, followed by units beside the dishwasher. We check every carcass at the survey, look for the cause of any leak, and price replacement units as a separate line so you can see the cost clearly.
