Replacement kitchen doors in Nottingham

Why do people in Nottingham choose replacement kitchen doors?

Landlords across Nottinghamshire often refresh a rental kitchen between tenancies with new doors and drawer fronts, keeping the sound carcasses and the appliances in place.

When one door in a Nottingham kitchen is broken and the range is no longer made, a full set of new matching doors is often the neatest answer. We cover all of Nottingham, including the NG1, NG3 and NG7 postcode districts, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Nottinghamshire.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Nottingham?

Across Nottinghamshire you will often find Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, former mining village houses and new-build estates, and each shapes the kitchen differently. In Nottingham, Victorian terraces often have a narrow back kitchen, while 1930s semis and ex-council houses tend to have a compact rectangular kitchen at the rear.

Expect hard water across most of Nottinghamshire, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and an inline filter or softener can help. Inner-city terraces with permit parking and no rear access can make deliveries slow, and long worktops may have to come through a narrow hallway.

Do you need approval for replacement kitchen doors in Nottingham?

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.

Where a home is listed or in a conservation area, such as parts of Nottingham and Newark, a new external vent or changes to historic features may need consent.

Tips before you start

Choose handles after the doors, holding samples against the new colour in your Nottingham kitchen's daylight before anything is drilled.
If you let out a Nottingham property, new doors can often be fitted between tenancies in a day or two once they have been delivered.
If the hob or sink in your Nottinghamshire kitchen needs to move, plan a fuller refit rather than new doors on a layout that does not work.
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 Nottingham

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Nottingham?

Guide prices in Nottingham 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.

Can you measure up in Nottingham before quoting?

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

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.

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.
