Replacement kitchen doors in Roehampton
Replacement kitchen doors in Roehampton start with a free survey visit: we measure up, check the walls, floor and service positions, and explain what the job involves before anything is priced.
Why do people in Roehampton choose replacement kitchen doors?
If your Greater London 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.
Peeling wrapped doors near the oven or kettle are a common reason people in Roehampton ask about replacements, especially when the units underneath are still fine. We work throughout Roehampton (SW15) and across the wider Greater London area.

Local homes and their kitchens
You will find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis throughout Greater London. Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley beside the side return, while conversion flats and mansion blocks usually fit the kitchen into a small room or along one living-room wall.
London's mains water is hard, so limescale builds quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth planning in. Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Roehampton
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.
Conservation areas are widespread across London, so a new extractor vent on a front wall may need permission, and leaseholders usually need the freeholder's written consent first.
Getting the most from your replacement kitchen doors
- If the hob or sink in your Greater London kitchen needs to move, plan a fuller refit rather than new doors on a layout that does not work.
- Choose handles after the doors, holding samples against the new colour in your Roehampton kitchen's daylight before anything is drilled.
- Open the sink cupboard in your Roehampton 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 Roehampton
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Roehampton?
For 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, budget around £1,300 to £3,900 including VAT in Roehampton. That reflects typical costs in London; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Do you cover all of Roehampton?
Yes. We work across Roehampton, including the SW15 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Putney and Barnes. 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.
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.
