Need replacement kitchen doors in Honiton? Tell us about the kitchen and we will arrange a free, no-obligation survey to see what the job really involves.
Is replacement kitchen doors right for your Honiton kitchen?
If your Devon 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.
Homeowners in Honiton with solid, well-fitted units but tired doors often choose new fronts rather than living through the upheaval of a full kitchen replacement. Kitchens in every part of Honiton are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Devon.
What is in a typical job?
The exact scope is agreed after the survey, but a typical job in Honiton covers:
- Doors and drawer fronts made to measure or matched to the existing sizes
- Drawer fronts fixed to existing drawer boxes, or new boxes where worn
- 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
- New fronts fixed to integrated appliances with their door-fixing kits
- Hinge holes drilled to line up with the positions on your carcasses

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Honiton?
You will find cob and thatched cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war houses and flats and seaside bungalows throughout Devon. Victorian terraces in Exeter and Torbay often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war houses and seaside bungalows usually have a square room that suits an L-shape.
Single-track lanes, steep town streets and cottages with no parking can make deliveries slow, so long worktops and tall units need a planned route into the house. Much of Devon has soft mains water, which is kind to taps and appliances, though some eastern parts are harder, so check with your supplier.
Do you need approval for replacement kitchen doors in Honiton?
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 Dartmoor or Exmoor national parks, listed thatched cottages and conservation areas may need consent before a new extractor vent goes through an outside wall.
Getting the most from your replacement kitchen doors
- Allow for delivery time on made-to-measure doors; your kitchen stays usable while you wait, as nothing comes off until they arrive.
- Ask whether the cornice and pelmet will be replaced too, as old ones left on a Honiton kitchen with new doors often show a colour mismatch.
- 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 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 Honiton
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Honiton?
Guide prices in Honiton are about £1,000 to £3,100 including VAT for 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.
Can you measure up in Honiton before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Honiton. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
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.
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 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.
