Kitchen ra-vamp.

Hi All.

I am sprucing up the kitchen and we want to replace all the cupboard doors, work top, sink and new flooring. I originally got the kitchen from Homebase, we have had a look in there, but you have to buy the whole unit not just the door. Has anyone replaced the doors on a Homebase kitchen? I have looked else where and the door heights are all different.

I've looked on line, but there are not many details about doors on there own at wickes. I will have to go in next weekend. I like you thought they were all a standard size. When we were in Homebase the assistant told us that the height of the doors are different. I thought he was just saying this, so that we would get the doors there, but the doors we like are in B&Q and they are 10mm taller. This would be ok for base units, but not wall units.

New hobby for the New Year and some nice woodworking tools from Santa perhaps?

 

Have you tried Howdens ?

 

Thanks for the replies.

Kristen - I don't want to make my own as we want white gloss. I have also got hall stairs and landing, living room, dining room, kitchen and utility room to decorate. 46 sq meters of wooden and tiled floor to put down and all the wood work to replace. So making doors will take too long as I want it all done in a couple of weeks

Loofah - we will have cornice top and bottom of wall cupboards, but suppose I could drop a board top or bottom to make up the 10mm. The link you gave me could be promising.

I will check out Howdens at the weekend.

A frame and panel door is pretty easy to make once you have the tools and technique. That's what we are planning to do with our kitchen. Buy yourself a router and you will have it done even quicker. Although I hate routers and would rather do it buy hand. Solid wood will last a lot longer than veneer and can be repainted a different colour in the future if need be.

Just remember to acclimatise it to the kitchen before you build them.
