Replacement kitchen doors in Strabane

Why replacement kitchen doors for a Strabane home?

Some Strabane households getting ready to sell want the kitchen to look fresher in the photographs without the cost and mess of taking it out.

Landlords across County Tyrone often refresh a rental kitchen between tenancies with new doors and drawer fronts, keeping the sound carcasses and the appliances in place. If your home is in Strabane or close by in Derry/Londonderry or Omagh, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.

What is included in the work?

Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:

Matching end panels, plinths, cornice and pelmet cut and fitted
Drawer fronts fixed to existing drawer boxes, or new boxes where worn
New fronts fixed to integrated appliances with their door-fixing kits
Hinge holes drilled to line up with the positions on your carcasses
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

House types around Strabane and what they mean for a kitchen

The housing mix across County Tyrone includes rural bungalows, farmhouses, red-brick terraces and post-war estate houses, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Rural bungalows often have a long kitchen-dining room at the back, while terraced houses in Omagh and Strabane tend to have a narrow kitchen in the return.

Farm lanes, long drives and narrow country roads can limit delivery vehicles, so worktop lengths and delivery times are planned at the survey. Hardness varies across County Tyrone depending on the source, and some rural homes use private supplies, so check before choosing a filter or boiling water tap.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Strabane

In Northern Ireland, new kitchen doors need no planning permission and no building control application. If the house is listed, check before altering any original fitted joinery, as listed building consent may be needed. Lighting added to plinths or cornice should be installed and tested to BS 7671 and certified, even though there is no notification scheme for domestic electrical work. The doors, panels and handles themselves need no paperwork.

A kitchen fit itself needs no planning permission, but listed buildings and homes in conservation areas in older town centres may need consent for new external vents.

Tips before you start

If the hob or sink in your County Tyrone kitchen needs to move, plan a fuller refit rather than new doors on a layout that does not work.
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 you let out a Strabane 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 Strabane

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Strabane?

Replacement kitchen doors in Strabane typically cost £880 to £2,600 including VAT for 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, based on prices in Northern Ireland. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Can you measure up in Strabane before quoting?

Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Strabane. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.

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.
