Pricing for Kitchen Unit Adjustment in Reading
Our kitchen unit adjustment service in Reading starts from £85. The final price depends on the scope of work — number of units affected, whether replacement parts are required, and access within the property.
We always confirm the price before any work begins. For straightforward jobs where the scope is clear from the initial description, we will provide a fixed quote when you get in touch. For more complex situations where we need to assess on site first, we will quote a maximum price at the beginning of the visit and will not exceed it without your explicit agreement.

Kitchen Repairs in Reading
Reading's housing stock ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the town centre and inner suburbs to 1930s semis across Tilehurst and Whitley, with modern apartment blocks and new-build estates near the station and riverfront. Caversham to the north of the Thames offers a mix of period properties and inter-war detached homes at the premium end of the market.
Reading's Berkshire location means Berkshire pricing applies — see our pricing page for details.
Reading's inner-city Victorian terraces frequently have galley kitchens in rear additions, where maximising unit storage and integrating appliances neatly requires careful survey work and precise fitting. Newer apartment buildings in the town centre may have building management restrictions on delivery times and shared-lift usage that we coordinate in advance.
If any hinges are beyond adjustment and need replacing, we can carry out the replacement at the same visit — saving you a second call-out charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely — a professionally adjusted kitchen looks and feels significantly better than one where doors and drawers are even slightly misaligned. Modern concealed hinges are adjustable in three planes (up/down, side to side, and depth), and a systematic adjustment across the whole kitchen typically takes half a day. The cost is a fraction of a new kitchen and most customers are surprised by the transformation.
If the doors look straight and undamaged but are hanging unevenly or not closing flush, they almost certainly just need adjustment. If a door is visibly warped, cracked, or the hinge itself is broken, adjustment will not fully resolve the issue and replacement may be needed. We will assess each door and hinge on the visit and give you an honest recommendation.
Yes — poor retailer installation is one of the most common reasons customers contact us. We regularly carry out adjustment work on kitchens installed by retailer teams where the job was rushed or not completed to a professional standard. We will systematically work through every door and drawer in the kitchen and leave it properly set.
An average kitchen of 20–25 doors and 6–10 drawers typically takes around four hours to adjust fully. We work through every component systematically, adjusting hinges and runners, setting door gaps, and checking operation before moving on. By the time we leave every door and drawer should operate perfectly.
