Replacement kitchen doors in Surrey
If you need replacement kitchen doors anywhere in Surrey, we survey the kitchen, agree the scope with you and book every trade through to handover.
Why replacement kitchen doors for a Surrey home?
If your Surrey kitchen has worktops you still like but dated doors, new fronts in a different style or colour let you keep the surfaces and change the rest.
Homeowners in Surrey with solid, well-fitted units but tired doors often choose new fronts rather than living through the upheaval of a full kitchen replacement.

- New soft-close hinges fitted and every door adjusted so the gaps run even
- Drawer fronts fixed to existing drawer boxes, or new boxes where worn

Kitchens in homes across Surrey
You will find 1930s semis, Victorian and Edwardian villas, detached family houses and new-build estates throughout Surrey. 1930s semis often have a narrow kitchen beside the dining room, while larger detached houses and Edwardian villas may have room for an island or a separate utility.
Surrey's water is hard across most of the county, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a scale-reducing filter is worth considering. Private roads, long drives and village lanes can be awkward for large lorries, while town-centre flats may need lift bookings and parking permits for delivery day.
Joining the kitchen and dining room in a 1930s semi, often with a peninsula and seating, is a common project. Larger detached houses tend to suit a supply-and-fit kitchen with an island, a boiling water tap, a separate utility and lighting planned in zones.
Rules for replacement kitchen doors in Surrey
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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas in older towns and villages may need consent for new vents, and flats in managed blocks usually need the freeholder's consent first.
Before you start
- Old drawer boxes may not take new fronts neatly; worn runners or unusual fixings sometimes make new drawer boxes worth adding.
- Remember the extras: end panels, plinths, cornice, pelmet and integrated appliance doors all need to match the new fronts.
- A new kitchen makes more sense if the carcasses are damaged, the layout does not work, or the sink and hob need to move.
- Check the carcasses first; a swollen sink base, a sagging shelf or loose hinge plates mean some units may need replacing before new doors.
- Count every door, drawer front, end panel and plinth before asking for prices, including integrated appliance doors and panels at the ends of runs.
- Allow for delivery time on made-to-measure doors; your kitchen stays usable while you wait, as nothing comes off until they arrive.
Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Surrey
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Surrey?
Guide prices in Surrey are about £1,200 to £3,400 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.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
Yes. We carry out replacement kitchen doors across Surrey, including Woking, Guildford, Esher and Redhill. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
