Replacement kitchen doors in Faringdon

Why replacement kitchen doors for a Faringdon home?

If your Oxfordshire kitchen has worktops you still like but dated doors, new fronts in a different style or colour let you keep the surfaces and change the rest.

If your Oxfordshire kitchen is older, its cabinets may be in sizes that are no longer standard, so made-to-measure doors let you keep units that are still sound. Homes right across Faringdon are covered, as are nearby places such as Wantage, Witney and the villages in between.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Faringdon?

Typical homes in this part of Oxfordshire include cotswold stone cottages, Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and new-build estates. Oxford's Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley in the back addition, while stone cottages in market towns and villages tend to have small, low-ceilinged kitchens.

Water across Oxfordshire is hard, so limescale on taps, kettles and boiling water taps is common, and a filter is worth planning in. City streets with permit parking and narrow village lanes can both slow deliveries, so parking and the carry route for worktops are checked at the survey.

Regulations for kitchen work in Faringdon

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.

Oxford's many listed buildings and conservation areas, along with Cotswold stone villages, may need consent before a new vent is cut or historic features are removed.

Worth knowing before the fit

Count every door, drawer front, end panel and plinth before asking for prices, including integrated appliance doors and panels at the ends of runs.
Allow for delivery time on made-to-measure doors; your kitchen stays usable while you wait, as nothing comes off until they arrive.
Choose handles after the doors, holding samples against the new colour in your Faringdon kitchen's daylight before anything is drilled.
Check the carcasses first; a swollen sink base, a sagging shelf or loose hinge plates mean some units may need replacing before new doors.

Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Faringdon

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Faringdon?

Replacement kitchen doors in Faringdon typically cost £1,200 to £3,400 including VAT for 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the South East. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Yes. We work across Faringdon, including the SN7 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Wantage and Witney. 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.

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.

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.
