Fitting kitchens in older and newer Armagh homes

Typical homes in this part of County Armagh include Georgian townhouses, red-brick terraces, new town houses and rural bungalows. Georgian houses in Armagh often have kitchens in former back rooms, while new-town houses in Craigavon and rural bungalows tend to have compact rectangular kitchens.

Hardness in County Armagh depends on the source, from soft to moderately hard, so check with your water supplier before choosing a filter. Country lanes and farm entrances can be tight for delivery lorries, and older terraced streets may have limited parking, so delivery is planned ahead.

Regulations for kitchen work in Armagh

In Northern Ireland, fitting a kitchen you have bought needs no planning permission or building control application when the services stay where they are. There is no notification scheme for domestic electrical work, but any new socket or circuit should be installed, tested and certified to BS 7671. Only a Gas Safe registered engineer may connect a gas hob, and Technical Booklet K sets out the ventilation guidance.

Armagh's Georgian centre is a conservation area with many listed buildings, so new external vents or changes to historic features there may need consent first.

Practical advice for Armagh homeowners

Photograph each pallet and any damaged box as it arrives at your Armagh address, and note the damage on the delivery note before the driver leaves.
Order handles in the right quantity with one or two spares; doors and drawers cannot be finished without them, and missing handles hold up sign-off.
Keep using the old kitchen until fitting day if you can, and ask for its removal and disposal to be priced on the same quote.
Worktop joint strips or connector bolts, appliance door-fixing kits and the sink, tap and waste are easy to leave off an order.

Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in Armagh

How much does fit-only kitchen fitting cost in Armagh?

Fit-only kitchen fitting in Armagh typically costs £1,300 to £2,200 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, based on prices in Northern Ireland. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Can you measure up in Armagh before quoting?

Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Armagh. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.

Should I unpack my kitchen before the fitter arrives?

No. Leave everything in its packaging until fitting day. Sealed boxes protect doors and panels from knocks and dust, keep small parts with the right unit, and show that any damage happened before delivery. We open and check the boxes against the plan as the fit begins. The one exception is anything your supplier asks you to inspect on delivery, which you should check and report within their deadline.

What does fit-only kitchen fitting not include?

It does not include stone worktops, new electrical circuits, moved plumbing, gas connections, tiling, flooring or plastering. Stone is templated and fitted by the stone supplier or fabricator once the base units are fixed. Fit only covers the labour for units, doors, panels, plinths and laminate worktops, with connections to the points already in place. Any of the extras can be added as separate lines on the same written quote.

Do I need to order anything extra for a fit-only job?

Often, yes. Retail plans regularly leave out filler panels, end panels, plinths, cornice or light rail, legs and plinth clips, worktop joint strips or connector bolts, appliance door-fixing kits and the sink, tap and waste. On the survey we go through your order line by line and list anything missing, so it can be ordered before the fit rather than halting it halfway through.
