Replacement Kitchen Doors and Drawer Fronts

I've been looking at a company called Kitchen Door Workshop for replacement kitchen doors and drawer fronts It tots up to about £900 by the time I've included everything - this is for 14 cupboard doors plus 3 drawer fronts.

Is this good value, has anyone else used KDW, or can anyone recommend other companies?

    Are they pre-drilled for the hinges, or does the deal include free or cheap temporary loan of a drilling jig?

    That's quite a big pain when replacing doors in my experience.

    I've used Homestyle for the door & drawer fronts in my kitchen - Just done a price comparison for an 895x495mm slab door (beveled edges) in a light oak finish. KDW is £46.49, against £35.13 for Homestyle - KDW charge an extra £1.00 for each hinge hole, Homestyle is included.


    Worth shopping around.

    Pre-drilling is the other thing which has made me think twice about KDW. Minimum distance from top or bottom is apparently 60mm, whereas my hinges on the existing doors look to have been done at about 52mm.

    I will look at Homestyle. Thanks for the recommendation.
