Replacement kitchen doors in Dyfed
Our replacement kitchen doors work covers the whole of Dyfed, including Llanelli, Ammanford and Aberystwyth.
Who usually needs replacement kitchen doors in Dyfed?
Peeling wrapped doors near the oven or kettle are a common reason people in Dyfed ask about replacements, especially when the units underneath are still fine.
When one door in a Dyfed kitchen is broken and the range is no longer made, a full set of new matching doors is often the neatest answer.
What do replacement kitchen doors in Dyfed include?
Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:
- Free survey visit to check the carcasses and measure every door and drawer front
- Doors and drawer fronts made to measure or matched to the existing sizes
- Hinge holes drilled to line up with the positions on your carcasses
- New soft-close hinges fitted and every door adjusted so the gaps run even
- Drawer fronts fixed to existing drawer boxes, or new boxes where worn
- Handles or knobs drilled from a template so they sit at a consistent height
- Matching end panels, plinths, cornice and pelmet cut and fitted
- New fronts fixed to integrated appliances with their door-fixing kits

Kitchens in homes across Dyfed
You will find stone cottages, Victorian terraces, farmhouses and post-war bungalows throughout Dyfed. Stone cottages and farmhouses often have a small kitchen in a rear extension, while terraces in Llanelli and Aberystwyth tend to have a narrow galley at the back.
Mains water across most of Dyfed is soft, so limescale is rarely a big problem, though farms on private supplies may need their own filtering. Rural farm tracks, steep coastal lanes and long distances between villages can affect delivery vehicles, so worktop lengths and timing need planning ahead.
Farmhouses and cottages usually have thick stone walls and uneven floors that need careful scribing, and many rural homes are off the gas grid, so cooking is often electric, LPG or a range. Holiday lets near the coast often need a durable, easy-clean kitchen planned around changeover days.
Rules for replacement kitchen doors in Dyfed
In Wales, new kitchen doors need no planning permission or Building Regulations approval; if the building is listed and original fitted joinery is affected, listed building consent may be needed. Adding plinth or cornice lighting is different: extending an existing circuit within a kitchen is notifiable under Part P in Wales, so that part is certified through a competent person scheme or building control. Doors, drawer fronts, panels and handles on their own need no paperwork.
Homes in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park or Bannau Brycheiniog, listed cottages and conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent or historic alterations.
Before you start
- Check the carcasses first; a swollen sink base, a sagging shelf or loose hinge plates mean some units may need replacing before new doors.
- A new kitchen makes more sense if the carcasses are damaged, the layout does not work, or the sink and hob need to move.
- Old drawer boxes may not take new fronts neatly; worn runners or unusual fixings sometimes make new drawer boxes worth adding.
- If the worktops are also worn, consider replacing them in the same visit rather than fitting new doors beside tired surfaces.
- Choose handles after the doors, holding samples against the new colour in your Dyfed kitchen's daylight before anything is drilled.
- Open the sink cupboard in your Dyfed kitchen and press the base; soft or swollen board means that unit needs replacing before new doors.
Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Dyfed
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Dyfed?
Guide prices in Dyfed are about £920 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 the whole of Dyfed?
Yes. We carry out replacement kitchen doors across Dyfed, including Llanelli, Ammanford, Aberystwyth and Carmarthen. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
Are new hinges and handles fitted with the doors?
Yes, normally. Old hinges are often worn or set for the old doors, so new soft-close hinges are fitted and adjusted so the doors close quietly and the gaps run even. Handles are drilled from a template so every one sits at the same height and distance from the edge. If you would like to reuse your existing handles, the new doors are drilled to suit them.
