Replacement kitchen doors in Hawick
We take on replacement kitchen doors in Hawick and the surrounding TD9 postcodes, working to a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anyone starts.
Who usually needs replacement kitchen doors in Hawick?
Some Hawick households getting ready to sell want the kitchen to look fresher in the photographs without the cost and mess of taking it out.
When one door in a Hawick kitchen is broken and the range is no longer made, a full set of new matching doors is often the neatest answer. If your home is in Hawick or close by in Galashiels or Kelso, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.
What is included in the work?
After the survey visit we write the scope down. For replacement kitchen doors in Hawick it usually covers:
- Handles or knobs drilled from a template so they sit at a consistent height
- New fronts fixed to integrated appliances with their door-fixing kits
- 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
- Drawer fronts fixed to existing drawer boxes, or new boxes where worn
- Matching end panels, plinths, cornice and pelmet cut and fitted

These guide ranges include VAT at 20% and are adjusted for prices in Scotland. We confirm your price in writing after a free survey visit. Labour rates in Scotland are generally lower than in London and the South East, so these ranges are a little below the national guide.

Kitchens in homes around Hawick
The housing mix across the Scottish Borders includes stone mill-town terraces, Victorian villas, farm cottages and post-war council-built houses, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Stone terraces in Hawick and Galashiels often have a small kitchen at the back, while Victorian villas in Peebles and Kelso tend to have larger separate kitchens.
The Scottish Borders generally have soft mains water, though rural homes on private supplies may need testing and filtering. Rural roads and farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries, and older town centres may have limited parking, so delivery is planned in advance.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Hawick
In Scotland, replacing kitchen doors and drawer fronts counts as replacing fitments, which does not need a building warrant. A listed building may need listed building consent if original fitted joinery is being altered or removed. If plinth or cornice lighting is added at the same time, the wiring must meet the building standards and BS 7671, so ask for the right electrical certificate. Nothing else about a door change involves building standards.
Older Borders towns often have conservation areas and listed buildings, so a new external vent or changes to historic features may need consent.
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.
- 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 you let out a Hawick property, new doors can often be fitted between tenancies in a day or two once they have been delivered.
- 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 Hawick
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Hawick?
For 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, budget around £940 to £2,800 including VAT in Hawick. That reflects typical costs in Scotland; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Do you work near Hawick as well?
Yes. As well as Hawick itself, we cover the rest of the Scottish Borders and nearby towns such as Galashiels and Kelso. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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.
