Replacement kitchen doors in Haywards Heath
We take on replacement kitchen doors in Haywards Heath and the surrounding RH16 postcodes, working to a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anyone starts.
Thinking about replacement kitchen doors in Haywards Heath?
When one door in a Haywards Heath kitchen is broken and the range is no longer made, a full set of new matching doors is often the neatest answer.
Landlords across West Sussex often refresh a rental kitchen between tenancies with new doors and drawer fronts, keeping the sound carcasses and the appliances in place. We work throughout Haywards Heath (RH16) and across the wider West Sussex area.

After the survey visit we write the scope down. For replacement kitchen doors in Haywards Heath it usually covers:
- Drawer fronts fixed to existing drawer boxes, or new boxes where worn
- New fronts fixed to integrated appliances with their door-fixing kits
- Free survey visit to check the carcasses and measure every door and drawer front
- New soft-close hinges fitted and every door adjusted so the gaps run even
- Doors and drawer fronts made to measure or matched to the existing sizes
- Matching end panels, plinths, cornice and pelmet cut and fitted

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Haywards Heath?
You will find 1930s semis, flint and brick cottages, post-war new town houses and seaside bungalows throughout West Sussex. Crawley's new-town houses often have a compact galley, while seaside bungalows in Worthing and Bognor Regis tend to have a small square kitchen beside the dining area.
West Sussex has mostly hard water, so limescale on taps, sinks and boiling water taps is common and a filter is worth considering. Coastal flats may have no lift, and village lanes on the edge of the Downs can be narrow for delivery lorries, so the delivery route is checked at the survey.
What rules apply to replacement kitchen doors in Haywards Heath?
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 in the South Downs National Park, listed flint cottages and conservation areas such as central Chichester may need consent for a new external vent.
Practical advice for Haywards Heath homeowners
- 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 Haywards Heath kitchen's daylight before anything is drilled.
- Count every door, drawer front, end panel and plinth before asking for prices, including integrated appliance doors and panels at the ends of runs.
- 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 Haywards Heath
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Haywards Heath?
Replacement kitchen doors in Haywards Heath 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 work near Haywards Heath as well?
Yes. As well as Haywards Heath itself, we cover the rest of West Sussex and nearby towns such as Burgess Hill and Crawley. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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.
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.
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.
