What kind of kitchens do we fit in Craigavon?

Across County Armagh you will often find Georgian townhouses, red-brick terraces, new town houses and rural bungalows, and each shapes the kitchen differently. 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.

Do you need approval for flat-pack kitchen fitting in Craigavon?

In Northern Ireland, a flat-pack kitchen fitted with the services left where they are needs no planning permission or building control application. Domestic electrical work has no notification scheme, but new sockets or circuits should be installed and tested to BS 7671 and certified. Gas hobs must be connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and Technical Booklet K gives the ventilation guidance for kitchens.

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.

Getting the most from your flat-pack kitchen fitting

If the flat-pack sink base in your Craigavon kitchen sits beside a washing machine or dishwasher, ask for a sink base mat to protect the carcass floor.
If you are building some units yourself before the fit, leave the back panels and hinges for us to check before anything is fixed to the wall.
Keep every instruction leaflet; each one shows the cam, dowel and hinge positions for that unit and saves time during assembly.
Clear a space next to the kitchen for assembly; carcasses need a flat floor and room to be checked for square before fitting.

Questions about flat-pack kitchen fitting in Craigavon

How much does flat-pack kitchen fitting cost in Craigavon?

Guide prices in Craigavon are about £1,600 to £2,600 including VAT for a small flat-pack kitchen, built and fitted. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.

Do you cover all of Craigavon?

Yes. We work across Craigavon, including the BT62, BT63, BT64, BT65, BT66 and BT67 postcode districts, and nearby towns such as Portadown and Banbridge. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

Can you fit a flat-pack kitchen I have already started building?

Yes, usually. We check any carcasses you have assembled for square, tight joints and properly fitted back panels before they are used, and rebuild any that are not right. Units built in another room are moved carefully, as a carcass without its worktop and wall fixings is easy to twist out of shape. We look at them on the survey and price the work accordingly.

How do you protect a flat-pack sink unit from water?

Mainly by sealing. Cut edges of board near the sink, including the holes for pipes and the waste, are sealed before the unit is fitted, and the worktop cut-out is sealed before the sink goes in. A sink base mat adds a second layer of protection against drips. Isolation valves on the supplies also mean that a later leak can be shut off quickly.

How do you make sure flat-pack cabinets are square?

Each carcass is built on a flat surface and measured corner to corner before its back panel goes in; equal diagonals mean it is square. The back panel then holds that shape. Units are checked again once they stand on their legs and are fixed together, because a carcass that is even slightly out of square shows up later as doors that never quite line up.
