Replacement kitchen doors in Slough
We take on replacement kitchen doors in Slough and the surrounding SL1 postcodes, working to a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anyone starts.
What prompts replacement kitchen doors in Slough?
Landlords across Berkshire often refresh a rental kitchen between tenancies with new doors and drawer fronts, keeping the sound carcasses and the appliances in place.
If you have bought a Slough home where the kitchen layout works but the colour does not, new doors and handles can change the look in a day or two. Kitchens in every part of Slough are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Berkshire.
What does the job involve?
After the survey visit we write the scope down. For replacement kitchen doors in Slough it usually covers:
- Matching end panels, plinths, cornice and pelmet cut and fitted
- Handles or knobs drilled from a template so they sit at a consistent height
- Drawer fronts fixed to existing drawer boxes, or new boxes where worn
- New fronts fixed to integrated appliances with their door-fixing kits
- Free survey visit to check the carcasses and measure every door and drawer front
- Doors and drawer fronts made to measure or matched to the existing sizes
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Slough?
The figures below are guide prices for Slough, including VAT and adjusted for typical costs across the South East. The fixed price comes after we have measured up. Prices in the South East usually run above the national guide, mainly because labour and parking cost more.

| Bespoke, in-frame or hand-painted doorsMade to measure for your carcasses | £2,300–£5,800 |

Kitchens in homes around Slough
The housing mix across Berkshire includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and new-build town houses, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Edwardian terraces often have a long galley running back from the dining room, while newer three-storey town houses usually have a compact kitchen on the ground floor.
Expect hard water in most of Berkshire, much of it drawn from chalk, so limescale on taps is common and a boiling water tap benefits from a filter. Busy town-centre streets and permit parking zones can make unloading slow, so a parking permit or bay suspension may need arranging before delivery day.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Slough
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.
A new extractor vent on a street-facing wall can need permission in a conservation area, and listed homes may need consent for internal changes affecting historic features.
Planning ahead
- Keep one old door until the new ones are fitted, so sizes and hinge positions can be checked if anything does not line up.
- Ask whether the cornice and pelmet will be replaced too, as old ones left on a Slough kitchen with new doors often show a colour mismatch.
- Allow for delivery time on made-to-measure doors; your kitchen stays usable while you wait, as nothing comes off until they arrive.
- A new kitchen makes more sense if the carcasses are damaged, the layout does not work, or the sink and hob need to move.
Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Slough
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Slough?
Replacement kitchen doors in Slough typically cost £1,200 to £3,400 including VAT for 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the South East. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Which parts of Slough do you work in?
All of them. Our Berkshire coverage takes in the whole of Slough, including the SL1 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Windsor. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.
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.
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.
