Replacement kitchen doors in Inverurie

What prompts replacement kitchen doors in Inverurie?

If your Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire 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.

When one door in an Inverurie kitchen is broken and the range is no longer made, a full set of new matching doors is often the neatest answer. Our Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire coverage reaches every part of Inverurie (AB51) and out towards Aberdeen.

What does the job involve?

The exact scope is agreed after the survey, but a typical job in Inverurie covers:

New fronts fixed to integrated appliances with their door-fixing kits
Drawer fronts fixed to existing drawer boxes, or new boxes where worn
Hinge holes drilled to line up with the positions on your carcasses
Matching end panels, plinths, cornice and pelmet cut and fitted
Doors and drawer fronts made to measure or matched to the existing sizes
Handles or knobs drilled from a template so they sit at a consistent height

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Inverurie?

Across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire you will often find granite tenement flats, granite villas, post-war council-built houses and farm cottages, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Granite tenement flats often have a small kitchen off the hall, while villas and bungalows across Aberdeenshire tend to have a separate kitchen beside the dining room.

Tenement flats without lifts mean carrying units up common stairs, and rural farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries. Mains water across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is soft, so limescale is rarely a problem and taps, sinks and boiling water taps stay cleaner.

What rules apply to replacement kitchen doors in Inverurie?

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.

Homes in the Cairngorms National Park, listed granite buildings and conservation areas may need consent for new external vents, and tenement owners may need neighbours' agreement.

Worth knowing before the fit

Count every door, drawer front, end panel and plinth before asking for prices, including integrated appliance doors and panels at the ends of runs.
Open the sink cupboard in your Inverurie kitchen and press the base; soft or swollen board means that unit needs replacing before new doors.
Allow for delivery time on made-to-measure doors; your kitchen stays usable while you wait, as nothing comes off until they arrive.
A new kitchen makes more sense if the carcasses are damaged, the layout does not work, or the sink and hob need to move.

Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Inverurie

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Inverurie?

Replacement kitchen doors in Inverurie typically cost £940 to £2,800 including VAT for 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, based on prices in Scotland. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Do you work near Inverurie as well?

Yes. As well as Inverurie itself, we cover the rest of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire and nearby towns such as Aberdeen and Stonehaven. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.

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.

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.
