Replacement kitchen doors in Wallington
Our replacement kitchen doors service covers Wallington and nearby places such as Carshalton and Sutton, with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote as the first step.
Who usually needs replacement kitchen doors in Wallington?
Landlords across Greater London often refresh a rental kitchen between tenancies with new doors and drawer fronts, keeping the sound carcasses and the appliances in place.
If your Greater London 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. Homes right across Wallington are covered, as are nearby places such as Carshalton, Sutton and the villages in between.
What is included in the work?
Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:
- New fronts fixed to integrated appliances with their door-fixing kits
- Hinge holes drilled to line up with the positions on your carcasses
- 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
- New soft-close hinges fitted and every door adjusted so the gaps run even
- Handles or knobs drilled from a template so they sit at a consistent height

Kitchens in homes around Wallington
The housing mix across Greater London includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. 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.
Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day. 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.
What rules apply to replacement kitchen doors in Wallington?
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.
Worth knowing before the fit
- 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 Wallington property, new doors can often be fitted between tenancies in a day or two once they have been delivered.
- Ask whether the cornice and pelmet will be replaced too, as old ones left on a Wallington kitchen with new doors often show a colour mismatch.
- Check the carcasses first; a swollen sink base, a sagging shelf or loose hinge plates mean some units may need replacing before new doors.
Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Wallington
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Wallington?
Replacement kitchen doors in Wallington typically cost £1,300 to £3,900 including VAT for 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, based on prices in London. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Can you measure up in Wallington before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Wallington. 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.
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.
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.
