Replacement kitchen doors in Perth

What prompts replacement kitchen doors in Perth?

If your Perth and Kinross 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.

When one door in a Perth kitchen is broken and the range is no longer made, a full set of new matching doors is often the neatest answer. We work throughout Perth (PH1) and across the wider Perth and Kinross area.

What is included in the work?

The exact scope is agreed after the survey, but a typical job in Perth covers:

Hinge holes drilled to line up with the positions on your carcasses
Matching end panels, plinths, cornice and pelmet cut and fitted
Drawer fronts fixed to existing drawer boxes, or new boxes where worn
Doors and drawer fronts made to measure or matched to the existing sizes
Free survey visit to check the carcasses and measure every door and drawer front
New fronts fixed to integrated appliances with their door-fixing kits

Local homes and their kitchens

In and around Perth, homes range across sandstone tenement flats, Victorian villas, stone cottages and post-war council-built houses. Victorian villas in Perth and Crieff often have a separate kitchen and former scullery, while tenement flats tend to have a small kitchen off the hall.

Highland Perthshire roads can be narrow and winding, and older town streets may have limited parking, so delivery vehicle size and timing are planned ahead. Mains water across Perth and Kinross is soft, though some remote homes rely on private supplies that may need testing and filtering.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Perth

In Scotland, replacing kitchen doors and drawer fronts counts as replacing fitments, which does not need a building warrant. A listed building may need listed building consent if original fitted joinery is being altered or removed. If plinth or cornice lighting is added at the same time, the wiring must meet the building standards and BS 7671, so ask for the right electrical certificate. Nothing else about a door change involves building standards.

Parts of highland Perthshire lie within the Cairngorms or Loch Lomond and The Trossachs national parks, and listed buildings elsewhere may need consent for new vents.

Tips before you start

If the hob or sink in your Perth and Kinross kitchen needs to move, plan a fuller refit rather than new doors on a layout that does not work.
Allow for delivery time on made-to-measure doors; your kitchen stays usable while you wait, as nothing comes off until they arrive.
If you let out a Perth property, new doors can often be fitted between tenancies in a day or two once they have been delivered.
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 Perth

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Perth?

For 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, budget around £940 to £2,800 including VAT in Perth. That reflects typical costs in Scotland; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Do you cover all of Perth?

Yes. We work across Perth, including the PH1 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Crieff and Glenrothes. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

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.

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.
