What prompts replacement kitchen doors in Malmesbury?

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Malmesbury?

Across Wiltshire you will often find thatched and stone cottages, Victorian railway terraces, post-war estate houses and new-build estates, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Railway terraces in Swindon often have a narrow back kitchen, while stone and thatched cottages in the villages tend to have small kitchens with low ceilings.

Wiltshire's water is hard, much of it from chalk, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help. Village lanes and farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries, and Salisbury's historic centre has limited parking, so delivery is planned in advance.

Do you need approval for replacement kitchen doors in Malmesbury?

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.

Listed thatched cottages, Salisbury's historic centre and other conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent or changes to historic features.

Tips before you start

Choose handles after the doors, holding samples against the new colour in your Malmesbury 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 Malmesbury property, new doors can often be fitted between tenancies in a day or two once they have been delivered.
Check the carcasses first; a swollen sink base, a sagging shelf or loose hinge plates mean some units may need replacing before new doors.

Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Malmesbury

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Malmesbury?

For 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, budget around £1,000 to £3,100 including VAT in Malmesbury. That reflects typical costs in the South West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Do you cover all of Malmesbury?

Yes. We work across Malmesbury, including the SN16 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Chippenham and Cirencester. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

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 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.
