Kitchen fitters in County Down
We fit kitchens across County Down: kitchens you have bought from any supplier, or complete kitchens we design, supply and fit, with every trade booked in the right order. Joining a villa kitchen and old scullery into one room is a common project, and removing a load-bearing wall needs building control approval. Newer estate homes around Newtownards and Banbridge more often need a straight replacement with integrated appliances, an island or peninsula and better lighting.
Kitchens in homes across County Down
Typical properties here include Victorian seaside villas, red-brick terraces, rural bungalows and new-build estates. Victorian villas in the seaside towns often have a separate kitchen and old scullery, while newer estate houses tend to have an open-plan kitchen-diner.
Most of County Down has soft mains water, so limescale is less of a concern and taps, sinks and boiling water taps stay cleaner. Country lanes in the Mournes and on the Ards Peninsula can be narrow for lorries, and seaside flats may have no lift, so access is checked early.
Rules for kitchen work in County Down
In Northern Ireland, a like-for-like kitchen refit needs no planning permission or building control application. There is no Part P-style notification for domestic electrics, but the work should be installed and tested to BS 7671 and certified. Structural alterations and new drainage go to council building control under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, and gas work is for Gas Safe registered engineers only.
Many older towns and villages in County Down have conservation areas or listed buildings, where a new external vent or changes to historic features may need consent.

Do you supply kitchens as well as fit them?
Yes. With supply and fit, we survey, design, supply and install the whole kitchen under one contract. Design is included in the price, from the measured survey and layout to the choice of units, worktops and appliances. Supplied kitchens have a lead time of roughly four to twenty weeks, depending on the range.
Can you move the sink or knock through a wall?
Yes. We move sinks, hobs, cooker hoods and appliances, with new pipework, circuits, gas pipes and ducting as needed. For open-plan kitchens we remove walls, arranging a structural engineer and building control approval for load-bearing walls, or a building warrant in Scotland. Each change is priced as a separate line in your quote.
