Replacement kitchen doors in Limavady
Looking for replacement kitchen doors in Limavady? We survey, quote and carry out replacement kitchen doors for homes across Limavady and the rest of County Londonderry, with one contract from the first measure to the final check.
When do replacement kitchen doors make sense in Limavady?
If your County Londonderry 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.
If your County Londonderry kitchen has worktops you still like but dated doors, new fronts in a different style or colour let you keep the surfaces and change the rest. We cover all of Limavady, including the BT49 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across County Londonderry.
What is in a typical job?
After the survey visit we write the scope down. For replacement kitchen doors in Limavady it usually covers:
- Hinge holes drilled to line up with the positions on your carcasses
- Matching end panels, plinths, cornice and pelmet cut and fitted
- Handles or knobs drilled from a template so they sit at a consistent height
- 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

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Limavady?
The housing mix across County Londonderry includes red-brick terraces, Georgian townhouses, rural bungalows and post-war estate houses, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Terraced houses in the city and in Coleraine often have a narrow kitchen in the return, while rural bungalows tend to have a larger kitchen with space for dining.
Steep streets in the city, terraces with limited parking and long country roads can each affect deliveries, so the route for worktops is checked at the survey. County Londonderry's mains water is generally soft, so limescale is rarely a big problem and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner.
What rules apply to replacement kitchen doors in Limavady?
In Northern Ireland, new kitchen doors need no planning permission and no building control application. If the house is listed, check before altering any original fitted joinery, as listed building consent may be needed. Lighting added to plinths or cornice should be installed and tested to BS 7671 and certified, even though there is no notification scheme for domestic electrical work. The doors, panels and handles themselves need no paperwork.
The historic walled city is a conservation area with many listed buildings, so new external vents or changes to historic features there may need consent first.
Planning ahead
- Choose handles after the doors, holding samples against the new colour in your Limavady 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.
- If you let out a Limavady property, new doors can often be fitted between tenancies in a day or two once they have been delivered.
- Old drawer boxes may not take new fronts neatly; worn runners or unusual fixings sometimes make new drawer boxes worth adding.
Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Limavady
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Limavady?
Guide prices in Limavady are about £880 to £2,600 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 Limavady before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Limavady. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
