Fitting kitchens in older and newer Evesham homes

You will find timber-framed cottages, Victorian villas and terraces, new town houses and 1930s semis throughout Worcestershire. In Redditch, new-town houses often have a compact galley, while Victorian villas in Malvern and terraces in Worcester tend to have separate kitchens behind the dining room.

Hillside streets, village lanes and town-centre terraces with limited parking can all slow deliveries, so the route for worktops is checked at the survey. Much of Worcestershire has moderately hard to hard water, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a filter can help.

Regulations for kitchen work in Evesham

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.

Listed timber-framed buildings and conservation areas, including parts of Worcester and Malvern, may need consent for new vents or alterations to historic features.

Getting the most from your replacement kitchen doors

Keep one old door until the new ones are fitted, so sizes and hinge positions can be checked if anything does not line up.
Open the sink cupboard in your Evesham kitchen and press the base; soft or swollen board means that unit needs replacing before new doors.
Ask whether the cornice and pelmet will be replaced too, as old ones left on an Evesham kitchen with new doors often show a colour mismatch.
Old drawer boxes may not take new fronts neatly; worn runners or unusual fixings sometimes make new drawer boxes worth adding.

Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Evesham

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Evesham?

Replacement kitchen doors in Evesham typically cost £1,000 to £3,000 including VAT for 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the West Midlands. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Which parts of Evesham do you work in?

All of them. Our Worcestershire coverage takes in the whole of Evesham, including the WR11 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Pershore. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
