Drawer repair & installation

Takes about 10 min

Drawers fail in a few familiar ways: a channel bends, a screw pulls out of the side panel, or the drawer front comes loose. The carpenter pulls the drawer, checks both channels, straightens or refixes them, and tightens the front so it lines up with the cabinet. New telescopic or roller channels you have bought can be fitted in their place.

A single drawer takes about 10 minutes, from the price shown on this page. A drawer box that has come apart is assessed and priced before work.

Empty the drawer before the visit and keep the new channels, if any, in their matching pair.

How the visit goes

  1. 1

    Pull the drawer

    The carpenter removes the drawer and inspects both channels and the box.

  2. 2

    Fix or swap channels

    Channels are refixed, straightened or replaced with your new pair.

  3. 3

    Align the front

    The drawer front is tightened so it sits level with the cabinet.

  4. 4

    Slide test

    The drawer is run in and out fully to check it glides and shuts.

What we need from you

  • The drawer emptied
  • New channels as a matched pair, if replacing

Questions about this service

Which channel should I buy?

Measure the drawer depth and buy a pair of the same length. If you are unsure, the carpenter can check and pick them up locally at actual cost with your approval.

Can you fix a kitchen drawer too?

Yes. Kitchen drawers use the same channels. For a kitchen-wide job, the Drawer & cabinet service under kitchen fittings is a better fit.

Is the warranty on the channel or the work?

On the work. If the fixing done stops working within 30 days, we come back and fix it at no charge.
