Replacement kitchen doors in Hampshire
Replacement kitchen doors in Hampshire start with a free visit to measure up, then a written scope and quote before any work begins.
What prompts replacement kitchen doors in Hampshire?
When one door in a Hampshire kitchen is broken and the range is no longer made, a full set of new matching doors is often the neatest answer.
If your Hampshire 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.
What do replacement kitchen doors in Hampshire include?
After the survey visit we write the scope down. For replacement kitchen doors in Hampshire it usually covers:
- 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 Hampshire
You will find Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and thatched and brick cottages throughout Hampshire. Terraces in Southampton and Portsmouth often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war estate houses tend to have a compact rectangular room suited to an L-shape.
Water across Hampshire is mostly hard, largely from chalk sources, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help. Dense terraced streets can be very tight for parking, and New Forest lanes and village roads may limit the size of delivery vehicle.
Terraced houses often have a small back kitchen behind the dining room, and owners frequently knock through to make one family space. Village cottages bring thick walls, low beams and sometimes a range cooker, all of which shape the layout.
Rules for replacement kitchen doors in Hampshire
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.
Homes within the New Forest or South Downs national parks, listed cottages and conservation areas may need consent for a new extractor vent or alterations to historic features.
Before you start
- If the worktops are also worn, consider replacing them in the same visit rather than fitting new doors beside tired surfaces.
- Old drawer boxes may not take new fronts neatly; worn runners or unusual fixings sometimes make new drawer boxes worth adding.
- A new kitchen makes more sense if the carcasses are damaged, the layout does not work, or the sink and hob need to move.
- Door sizes and hinge positions vary between makers, so doors must be made to measure or matched carefully to your existing units.
- Count every door, drawer front, end panel and plinth before asking for prices, including integrated appliance doors and panels at the ends of runs.
- Choose handles after the doors, holding samples against the new colour in your Hampshire kitchen's daylight before anything is drilled.
Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Hampshire
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Hampshire?
Replacement kitchen doors in Hampshire 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.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
Yes. We carry out replacement kitchen doors across Hampshire, including Southampton, Portsmouth, Basingstoke and Gosport. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
