Replacement kitchen doors in Okehampton
From the survey to handover, replacement kitchen doors in Okehampton are run by us as one job, with the fitters and trades booked in the right order.
Thinking about replacement kitchen doors in Okehampton?
When one door in an Okehampton kitchen is broken and the range is no longer made, a full set of new matching doors is often the neatest answer.
If your Devon kitchen has worktops you still like but dated doors, new fronts in a different style or colour let you keep the surfaces and change the rest. Kitchens in every part of Okehampton are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Devon.
What does the job involve?
Here is what usually goes into replacement kitchen doors, adjusted to your Okehampton kitchen after we have measured it:
- Handles or knobs drilled from a template so they sit at a consistent height
- New soft-close hinges fitted and every door adjusted so the gaps run even
- Free survey visit to check the carcasses and measure every door and drawer front
- Matching end panels, plinths, cornice and pelmet cut and fitted
- Hinge holes drilled to line up with the positions on your carcasses
- Drawer fronts fixed to existing drawer boxes, or new boxes where worn

House types around Okehampton and what they mean for a kitchen
In and around Okehampton, homes range across cob and thatched cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war houses and flats and seaside bungalows. Victorian terraces in Exeter and Torbay often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war houses and seaside bungalows usually have a square room that suits an L-shape.
Much of Devon has soft mains water, which is kind to taps and appliances, though some eastern parts are harder, so check with your supplier. Single-track lanes, steep town streets and cottages with no parking can make deliveries slow, so long worktops and tall units need a planned route into the house.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Okehampton
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.
Homes within Dartmoor or Exmoor national parks, listed thatched cottages and conservation areas may need consent before a new extractor vent goes through an outside wall.
Practical advice for Okehampton homeowners
- Keep one old door until the new ones are fitted, so sizes and hinge positions can be checked if anything does not line up.
- If the hob or sink in your Devon 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 Okehampton kitchen and press the base; soft or swollen board means that unit needs replacing before new doors.
- Remember the extras: end panels, plinths, cornice, pelmet and integrated appliance doors all need to match the new fronts.
Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Okehampton
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Okehampton?
Replacement kitchen doors in Okehampton typically cost £1,000 to £3,100 including VAT for 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the South West. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Do you cover all of Okehampton?
Yes. We work across Okehampton, including the EX20 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Tavistock and Launceston. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.
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.
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.
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.
