Replacement kitchen doors in Lincoln

Thinking about replacement kitchen doors in Lincoln?

If your Lincolnshire 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 you have bought a Lincoln home where the kitchen layout works but the colour does not, new doors and handles can change the look in a day or two. We work throughout Lincoln (LN2) and across the wider Lincolnshire area.

Local homes and their kitchens

Typical homes in this part of Lincolnshire include Victorian terraces, post-war council-built houses, farmhouses and seaside bungalows. Expect a narrow back kitchen in many Victorian terraces in Lincoln and Grimsby, while bungalows on the coast and in villages usually have a simple square kitchen.

Long rural roads and farm tracks can affect delivery times and vehicle size, while terraced streets in the towns may have little parking near the front door. Lincolnshire's mains water is mostly hard, so limescale on taps, sinks and boiling water taps is common, and a scale-reducing filter is a sensible addition.

What rules apply to replacement kitchen doors in Lincoln?

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.

Fitting a kitchen needs no planning permission, but listed buildings in historic town centres and homes in conservation areas may need consent for new vents.

Tips before you start

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 Lincoln property, new doors can often be fitted between tenancies in a day or two once they have been delivered.
Choose handles after the doors, holding samples against the new colour in your Lincoln kitchen's daylight before anything is drilled.
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 Lincoln

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Lincoln?

Guide prices in Lincoln are about £970 to £2,900 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.

Which parts of Lincoln do you work in?

All of them. Our Lincolnshire coverage takes in the whole of Lincoln, including the LN2 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Gainsborough. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
