Kitchens in homes around Craigavon

You will find Georgian townhouses, red-brick terraces, new town houses and rural bungalows throughout County Armagh. 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.

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

What rules apply to fit-only kitchen fitting in Craigavon?

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 Craigavon homeowners

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.
Book the fit for a date after the full delivery has arrived in County Armagh; a split delivery is a common reason for a fit stalling halfway.
Before your kitchen is delivered to your Craigavon home, clear a dry room to store the boxes flat, away from damp garages and outbuildings.
Check the order includes filler panels, end panels, plinths, cornice or light rail, and enough legs and plinth clips for every base unit.

Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in Craigavon

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

For a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, budget around £1,300 to £2,200 including VAT in Craigavon. That reflects typical costs in Northern Ireland; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Which parts of Craigavon do you work in?

All of them. Our County Armagh coverage takes in the whole of Craigavon, including the BT62, BT63, BT64, BT65, BT66 and BT67 postcode districts, as well as surrounding towns such as Portadown. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
