Replacement kitchen doors in Streatham
We take on replacement kitchen doors in Streatham and the surrounding SW16 postcodes, working to a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anyone starts.
Is replacement kitchen doors right for your Streatham kitchen?
Some Streatham households getting ready to sell want the kitchen to look fresher in the photographs without the cost and mess of taking it out.
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. We cover all of Streatham, including the SW16 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Greater London.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Streatham?
Across Greater London you will often find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis, and each shapes the kitchen differently. 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 Streatham
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.
Practical advice for Streatham homeowners
- 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 Streatham kitchen's daylight before anything is drilled.
- If you let out a Streatham property, new doors can often be fitted between tenancies in a day or two once they have been delivered.
- Old drawer boxes may not take new fronts neatly; worn runners or unusual fixings sometimes make new drawer boxes worth adding.
Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Streatham
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Streatham?
Guide prices in Streatham are about £1,300 to £3,900 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.
Can you measure up in Streatham before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Streatham. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
