When does fit-only kitchen fitting make sense in County Tyrone?
Landlords and small developers across County Tyrone sometimes buy units for several properties at once and want a clear fit-only price for each kitchen they need installed.
Some County Tyrone households have a kitchen waiting in a spare room after a fitter dropped out, and need the boxes checked and the fit planned again from the start.

Kitchens in homes across County Tyrone
The housing mix across County Tyrone includes rural bungalows, farmhouses, red-brick terraces and post-war estate houses, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Rural bungalows often have a long kitchen-dining room at the back, while terraced houses in Omagh and Strabane tend to have a narrow kitchen in the return.
Hardness varies across County Tyrone depending on the source, and some rural homes use private supplies, so check before choosing a filter or boiling water tap. Farm lanes, long drives and narrow country roads can limit delivery vehicles, so worktop lengths and delivery times are planned at the survey.
In a rural bungalow or farmhouse, the kitchen often doubles as the main living space, with a range, a large table and a utility for boots. Terraced houses in the towns tend to have small return kitchens that owners open into the living room.
Rules for fit-only kitchen fitting in County Tyrone
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.
A kitchen fit itself needs no planning permission, but listed buildings and homes in conservation areas in older town centres may need consent for new external vents.
Before you start
- If you chose stone worktops, the stone supplier templates and fits them after the base units are fixed, usually one to two weeks later.
- Measure integrated appliances against the housings on the plan, including ventilation gaps, before buying them separately from the kitchen.
- Do not open or assemble anything before the survey; sealed boxes make it far easier to claim missing or damaged parts from the supplier.
- Store the boxes flat in a dry, heated room rather than a damp garage, so doors and carcasses do not swell or warp before fitting.
- Photograph each pallet and any damaged box as it arrives at your County Tyrone address, and note the damage on the delivery note before the driver leaves.
- Ask your supplier for the full order list as well as the plan, so the fitter can check part numbers and not just unit sizes.
Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in County Tyrone
How much does fit-only kitchen fitting cost in County Tyrone?
For a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, budget around £1,300 to £2,200 including VAT in County Tyrone. That reflects typical costs in Northern Ireland; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Do you cover the whole of County Tyrone?
Yes. We carry out fit-only kitchen fitting across County Tyrone, including Omagh, Strabane, Dungannon and Cookstown. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
What happens if parts of my kitchen are missing or damaged?
Missing or damaged parts are the supplier's to replace. We check the delivery against your plan and delivery note before fitting starts and tell you straight away if anything is short, broken or wrong, so you can raise it with the supplier while we re-plan the order of work. Units that do not depend on the missing part can often still go in, and sealed boxes make any claim simpler.
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.
