Replacement kitchen doors in Wembley

Who usually needs replacement kitchen doors in Wembley?

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.

When one door in a Wembley kitchen is broken and the range is no longer made, a full set of new matching doors is often the neatest answer. If your home is in Wembley or close by in Brent or Sudbury, Greater London, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.

What is in a typical job?

Here is what usually goes into replacement kitchen doors, adjusted to your Wembley kitchen after we have measured it:

New fronts fixed to integrated appliances with their door-fixing kits
Drawer fronts fixed to existing drawer boxes, or new boxes where worn
Matching end panels, plinths, cornice and pelmet cut and fitted
Hinge holes drilled to line up with the positions on your carcasses
New soft-close hinges fitted and every door adjusted so the gaps run even
Doors and drawer fronts made to measure or matched to the existing sizes

Replacement kitchen doors prices in Wembley

Typical replacement kitchen doors prices for homes in Wembley, including VAT and adjusted for London. Your own figure depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and what is moving. Labour in London generally costs more than the UK average, which lifts these ranges a little.

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Wembley homes

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.

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 Wembley

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.

Getting the most from your replacement kitchen doors

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 Wembley kitchen's daylight before anything is drilled.
Ask whether the cornice and pelmet will be replaced too, as old ones left on a Wembley kitchen with new doors often show a colour mismatch.
If the worktops are also worn, consider replacing them in the same visit rather than fitting new doors beside tired surfaces.

Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Wembley

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Wembley?

Guide prices in Wembley 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.

Do you cover all of Wembley?

Yes. We work across Wembley, including the HA0 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Brent and Sudbury, Greater London. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

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.

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.
