Replacement kitchen doors in Harlesden
We take on replacement kitchen doors in Harlesden and the surrounding NW10 postcodes, working to a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anyone starts.
When do replacement kitchen doors make sense in Harlesden?
Some Harlesden households getting ready to sell want the kitchen to look fresher in the photographs without the cost and mess of taking it out.
Peeling wrapped doors near the oven or kettle are a common reason people in Harlesden ask about replacements, especially when the units underneath are still fine. If your home is in Harlesden or close by in Willesden or Wembley, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.
What we cover for replacement kitchen doors in Harlesden
The exact scope is agreed after the survey, but a typical job in Harlesden covers:
- Free survey visit to check the carcasses and measure every door and drawer front
- Drawer fronts fixed to existing drawer boxes, or new boxes where worn
- New fronts fixed to integrated appliances with their door-fixing kits
- Handles or knobs drilled from a template so they sit at a consistent height
- Matching end panels, plinths, cornice and pelmet cut and fitted
- Hinge holes drilled to line up with the positions on your carcasses

Kitchens in homes around Harlesden
In and around Harlesden, homes range across Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis. Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley beside the side return, while conversion flats and mansion blocks usually fit the kitchen into a small room or along one living-room wall.
Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day. London's mains water is hard, so limescale builds quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth planning in.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Harlesden
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.
Conservation areas are widespread across London, so a new extractor vent on a front wall may need permission, and leaseholders usually need the freeholder's written consent first.
Tips before you start
- Keep one old door until the new ones are fitted, so sizes and hinge positions can be checked if anything does not line up.
- Count every door, drawer front, end panel and plinth before asking for prices, including integrated appliance doors and panels at the ends of runs.
- If the hob or sink in your Greater London kitchen needs to move, plan a fuller refit rather than new doors on a layout that does not work.
- 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 Harlesden
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Harlesden?
For 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, budget around £1,300 to £3,900 including VAT in Harlesden. That reflects typical costs in London; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Can you measure up in Harlesden before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Harlesden. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
