Replacement kitchen doors in Weybridge

When do replacement kitchen doors make sense in Weybridge?

If your Surrey 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.

When one door in a Weybridge kitchen is broken and the range is no longer made, a full set of new matching doors is often the neatest answer. Kitchens in every part of Weybridge are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Surrey.

What is included in the work?

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

Free survey visit to check the carcasses and measure every door and drawer front
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
New fronts fixed to integrated appliances with their door-fixing kits
Drawer fronts fixed to existing drawer boxes, or new boxes where worn
Doors and drawer fronts made to measure or matched to the existing sizes

What do replacement kitchen doors cost in Weybridge?

Local homes and their kitchens

Typical homes in this part of Surrey include 1930s semis, Victorian and Edwardian villas, detached family houses and new-build estates. 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.

What rules apply to replacement kitchen doors in Weybridge?

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.

Planning ahead

Allow for delivery time on made-to-measure doors; your kitchen stays usable while you wait, as nothing comes off until they arrive.
Ask whether the cornice and pelmet will be replaced too, as old ones left on a Weybridge kitchen with new doors often show a colour mismatch.
Keep one old door until the new ones are fitted, so sizes and hinge positions can be checked if anything does not line up.
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 Weybridge

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Weybridge?

Replacement kitchen doors in Weybridge typically cost £1,200 to £3,400 including VAT for 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the South East. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Which parts of Weybridge do you work in?

All of them. Our Surrey coverage takes in the whole of Weybridge, including the KT13 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Walton-on-Thames. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.

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.
