Replacement kitchen doors in Rugby
Looking for replacement kitchen doors in Rugby? We survey, quote and carry out replacement kitchen doors for homes across Rugby and the rest of Warwickshire, with one contract from the first measure to the final check.
Thinking about replacement kitchen doors in Rugby?
If your Warwickshire 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 Rugby ask about replacements, especially when the units underneath are still fine. If your home is in Rugby or close by in Lutterworth or Daventry, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.
What is in a typical job?
Here is what usually goes into replacement kitchen doors, adjusted to your Rugby kitchen after we have measured it:
- Doors and drawer fronts made to measure or matched to the existing sizes
- Matching end panels, plinths, cornice and pelmet cut and fitted
- 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
- Drawer fronts fixed to existing drawer boxes, or new boxes where worn
- Hinge holes drilled to line up with the positions on your carcasses

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Rugby homes
Typical homes in this part of Warwickshire include Regency townhouses, timber-framed cottages, Victorian terraces and 1930s semis. Victorian terraces in Nuneaton and Rugby often have a narrow back kitchen, while Regency townhouses in Leamington tend to have kitchens in former service rooms or flats.
Water across Warwickshire is mostly hard, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a filter or softener can help. Regency townhouses converted to flats may have no lift, and historic town centres can have restricted parking, so delivery needs arranging in advance.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Rugby
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.
Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick and Leamington Spa have many listed buildings and conservation areas, so new vents or internal changes may need listed building consent or planning permission.
Getting the most from your replacement kitchen doors
- Keep one old door until the new ones are fitted, so sizes and hinge positions can be checked if anything does not line up.
- Choose handles after the doors, holding samples against the new colour in your Rugby kitchen's daylight before anything is drilled.
- Open the sink cupboard in your Rugby 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 Rugby
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Rugby?
Guide prices in Rugby are about £1,000 to £3,000 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.
Which parts of Rugby do you work in?
All of them. Our Warwickshire coverage takes in the whole of Rugby, including the CV21 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Lutterworth. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.
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.
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.
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.
