What kind of kitchens do we fit in Eastwood?

You will find Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, former mining village houses and new-build estates throughout Nottinghamshire. In Nottingham, Victorian terraces often have a narrow back kitchen, while 1930s semis and ex-council houses tend to have a compact rectangular kitchen at the rear.

Expect hard water across most of Nottinghamshire, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and an inline filter or softener can help. Inner-city terraces with permit parking and no rear access can make deliveries slow, and long worktops may have to come through a narrow hallway.

Do you need approval for replacement kitchen doors in Eastwood?

Replacing kitchen doors needs no planning permission or Building Regulations approval in England, because nothing structural, electrical or plumbed changes. The exception is a listed building, where original fitted cupboards or joinery may need listed building consent before they are altered. If you add plinth or cornice lighting at the same time, the wiring must meet BS 7671, and a new circuit for it would be notifiable under Part P.

Where a home is listed or in a conservation area, such as parts of Nottingham and Newark, a new external vent or changes to historic features may need consent.

Planning ahead

Choose handles after the doors, holding samples against the new colour in your Eastwood kitchen's daylight before anything is drilled.
Keep one old door until the new ones are fitted, so sizes and hinge positions can be checked if anything does not line up.
Ask whether the cornice and pelmet will be replaced too, as old ones left on an Eastwood kitchen with new doors often show a colour mismatch.
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 Eastwood

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Eastwood?

For 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, budget around £970 to £2,900 including VAT in Eastwood. That reflects typical costs in the East Midlands; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Which parts of Eastwood do you work in?

All of them. Our Nottinghamshire coverage takes in the whole of Eastwood, including the NG16 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Ilkeston. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

Can I change to a completely different door style?

Usually, yes. Slab, shaker and painted doors can all go on standard carcasses if the sizes and hinge positions suit. An in-frame look is more involved, because the doors sit inside a frame built onto the front of the units, so it costs more. A true handleless kitchen uses rails built into the carcasses, so with a door change that look is imitated with edge-profiled doors instead.

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.
