Hi, anybody heard of Qualcast Kitchens, got old couple who only want a few doors replacing, cant find anything, anywhere, any ideas?

thanks

tried their manufacturer homepage and company history search, found they acquisitioned Atco* in 1995 , and are part of the Bosch group. still can't find anything on kitchens though; just about everything else though (inc recipes!).

Have you any photos of the kitchen doors you're trying to source? It might be another manufacturer makes something identical




* - who either turned their hand at a fair few different things, or is a common company name

Qualcast did a bit of sanitary ware back in the early 90's but I have never heard of kitchens. Qualcast are mostly known for metal casting and mowers.

If you can post a picture it might be that someone on here has spotted a similar door somewhere and maybe if an old kitchen is being ripped out you may be lucky.

Dumb question..where did you find the name "Qualcast" on the kitchen?

Hinges?
Worktop?
Badge on the drawer runner?

Cheers Guys, just got back from job, swopped all the frontals out, after quick deal with howdens, York on Saturday. Skipped them, should have kept some just in case.

Good grief

I used to sell Qualcast Kitchens way back in 1978 when Debenhams had a kitchen department, mostly leather effect doors with an oak strip handle attached to the top of the door.
Debenhams closed their kitchens down around 82 . they used to sell winchmore, eastham and grovewood kitchens also .

The furniture was quite good stuff at the time , all imperial tho .
