Local homes and their kitchens

In and around Newport, Isle of Wight, homes range across Victorian seaside villas, stone cottages, post-war bungalows and converted flats. Victorian villas split into flats often have compact kitchens in former bedrooms, while bungalows and cottages tend to have small square kitchens at the back.

Mains water on the Isle of Wight is hard, so limescale on taps, kettles and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help. Kitchen units, worktops and appliances usually cross on the vehicle ferry, so delivery dates and crossing times need planning before the fit is booked.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Newport, Isle of Wight

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 buildings and conservation areas in the older island towns may need consent for a new external vent, and flat owners usually need the freeholder's written consent.

Practical advice for Newport, Isle of Wight homeowners

Ask whether the cornice and pelmet will be replaced too, as old ones left on a Newport, Isle of Wight kitchen with new doors often show a colour mismatch.
If you let out a Newport, Isle of Wight property, new doors can often be fitted between tenancies in a day or two once they have been delivered.
Keep one old door until the new ones are fitted, so sizes and hinge positions can be checked if anything does not line up.
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 Newport, Isle of Wight

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Newport, Isle of Wight?

Guide prices in Newport, Isle of Wight are about £1,200 to £3,400 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.

Do you work near Newport, Isle of Wight as well?

Yes. As well as Newport, Isle of Wight itself, we cover the rest of the Isle of Wight and nearby towns such as Cowes and Ryde. 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.

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.

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.
