replacement kitchen doors in a fortuna

Hi, sorry can't help with your request but just wanted to give you something to think about. If you are intending to replicate doors in UK and take back to Spain consider whether you are now going to be charged Iva and import duties since Jan 1st there is no loading up a car with your belongings and drive through borders without customs declarations. Even residents of Spain only have a certain window of time to move belongings from obtaining residency to be exempt of customs charges. Just a thought! Non residents stand no chance of avoidance.

Hi Pauline I’m going to buy them here in Blighty and when I move over next year they will be just part of my removals sadly I bought in sept 2020 completed end of November but couldn’t get over  because of covid but definitely will be moving also to appl for the visa in Manchester it’s £516 per person at the consulate 😝

Pleased you are doing it that way, didn't want you stung for charges you didn't know about. Good luck, we,re staying non residents after 20yrs of owning, don't like the new requirements and still have UK home of 40yrs to sell.

Unless your kitchen is bespoke made (unlikely),  it's the same standard unit sizes as everywhere else - just need to find out how wide (300mm, 400mm, 500mm or 600mm)  the units are as the height is a standard 720mm. This is apply for full height units as well. So the door overall size is 3mm smaller in width and 5mm shorter in height generally. Integrated oven cupboard is 600mm same as full size dishwasher- maybe you can judge the rest of your units sizes by that? Just a hint. Still weird you want to bring it from UK probably exposing yourselves to additional taxes while bringing it through the customs while there's a plenty to chose from in Spain but maybe it's something special about that, what I know..

Thanks 

as you can appreciate i cant come out to the house atm but just thought that somebody with a neptuna woud just give the number and size of the kitchen units as every nepyune i look at on line as the exact same kitchen but thanks to everybody for your replies ray 

By bringing the doors of whatever measurements they are from the UK you are leaving yourself open to lots of problems.

What happens if you have miss measured one door ??

Or if one get damaged during your removal ??

A lot less problems to buy the doors in Spain.

They do sell them.

😁😁

The question was if some fellow Camposolian could measure the units in Neptune villa as presumably they all the same? Not being the one I suggested if measurements could be taken from the plans or even pictures as units are the standard everywhere.  

But I agree with you, Roland, it's too easy to overlook or miss the crucial item like some corner joining piece, pelmet or get dimensions wrong without the proper survey.  

Still if not Brexit my personal preference would be to bring the stuff from UK for quality reasons as I was successfully  been doing before.

hi thanks for the replies i have seen the exact one my wife wants lol but im not moving out until 2022 then at the end of the year but all being well im going to come over sometime this year but things the way they are wont be until later on this year so ill have a proper measure up then i have a few jobs ive got planned including a pool fitted but i get no reply from the pool construction in mazzaron for a quote probs due to pandemic but i want to sort all the expensive jobs before i move (whilst im earning money before i take the plunge ) its all a bit different now visa cost £516 per person need medical insurance from a firm in spain need criminal records etc money and all translated in to spanish legally it takes around 3 months to get the visa from the consul in blighty and then a month to get over to spain and register on the padron for the non lucrative visa and we still dont know what the situation with the exchange of the driving license there are positive rumblings from the spanish consulate but again covid ,im ex army got every licence you could want so expired now including my hgv driven all over germany spain america south america middle east iran iraq etc and might have to take a test in spain ironic really but if thats what required then so be it i bellieve the spanish can still just exchange there license in uk so fingers crossed

thanks again

Ray, have you thought of just getting your unit doors hand painted to change the colour scheme ? -  Cheaper than replacing the doors entirely. I had my Fortuna painted by A1 Decorating just before Christmas. Cost €450 , very nice job, and he put on new door handles which I supplied myself.
