Kitchen Refurbishment

I need to refurbish my small kitchen, which is extremely old. I am happy with the layout so could potentially just go for new cupboard doors and handles (a few of the doors/drawers are not standard sizes). Can anyone recommend a company (in or around greater Belfast area) that would do this, and if the doors or drawer fronts are not standard, could that pose a problem?


Thanks in anticipation

    you can order custom-size doors in the style you need online, there are at least 10+ websites that does them. It will be several times cheaper, handles- again look on ebay or some store that sells them.
  • If it's extremely old as you say, why not just rip the lot out? Not inkeeping with MSE I know, but I've just replaced a very old kitchen and the unit shelves were falling down in the middle of the night etc.
    If you feel the carcases will need changing in the next couple of years and you intend to stay there, it may be more cost effective to replace the lot.
