Replacement kitchen doors in Lisburn

Why replacement kitchen doors for a Lisburn home?

If your County Antrim 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.

Landlords across County Antrim often refresh a rental kitchen between tenancies with new doors and drawer fronts, keeping the sound carcasses and the appliances in place. Homes right across Lisburn are covered, as are nearby places such as Belfast, Castlereagh and the villages in between.

Local homes and their kitchens

The housing mix across County Antrim includes red-brick terraces, Victorian villas, post-war estate houses and rural bungalows, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Red-brick terraces in Belfast often have a narrow kitchen in the return, while estate houses and rural bungalows tend to have a separate kitchen with room for a table.

Terraced streets with entries at the back, city flats with booked lifts and country lanes can each affect deliveries, so the route for worktops is checked at the survey. Mains water across most of County Antrim is soft, so limescale is less of a problem and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner.

Do you need approval for replacement kitchen doors in Lisburn?

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas in older parts of Belfast and the county towns may need consent for new vents, and apartment owners usually need management consent.

Practical advice for Lisburn homeowners

Ask whether the cornice and pelmet will be replaced too, as old ones left on a Lisburn kitchen with new doors often show a colour mismatch.
If the hob or sink in your County Antrim kitchen needs to move, plan a fuller refit rather than new doors on a layout that does not work.
Open the sink cupboard in your Lisburn kitchen and press the base; soft or swollen board means that unit needs replacing before new doors.
Door sizes and hinge positions vary between makers, so doors must be made to measure or matched carefully to your existing units.

Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Lisburn

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Lisburn?

For 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, budget around £880 to £2,600 including VAT in Lisburn. That reflects typical costs in Northern Ireland; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Can you measure up in Lisburn before quoting?

Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Lisburn. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.

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.

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.
