Integrated appliance installation in Craigavon

Why integrated appliance installation for a Craigavon home?

Some people in Craigavon upgrade to a double oven at the same time as other appliances, which can mean a new cooker circuit from the consumer unit as well.

Homeowners across County Armagh moving from freestanding to integrated appliances often need housings adapted, door-fixing kits fitted and new spurs added, all planned as part of the change. We work throughout Craigavon (BT62, BT63, BT64, BT65, BT66 and BT67) and across the wider County Armagh area.

What is included in the work?

Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:

Built-in ovens and microwaves fixed into housings with the required ventilation space
Integrated fridges and freezers fixed into tall or under-counter housings
Accessible switching for built-in appliances, such as a switched fused spur, where needed
Furniture doors attached with the fixed-hinge or sliding-hinge kit and aligned
Leak checks, final door adjustments and each appliance switched on and tested
Appliance sizes checked against housings, door-fixing kits and ventilation gaps before fitting

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Craigavon homes

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.

What rules apply to integrated appliance installation in Craigavon?

In Northern Ireland, there is no Part P-style notification for domestic electrics, so new appliance spurs and circuits are not notified, but they should be installed, tested and certified to BS 7671. Water connections should meet the water fittings regulations that apply in Northern Ireland, with isolation valves and backflow protection. Each appliance should be fixed and ventilated as its manufacturer specifies.

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.

Tips before you start

Before ordering appliances for your Craigavon kitchen, download each installation manual and compare the stated housing dimensions with your kitchen plan.
Check that the furniture doors for your dishwasher and fridge are the correct height and drilled for the right fixings before fitting day comes round.
Make sure the plinths in front of fridges and freezers include the ventilation grille or gap the appliance manufacturer asks for, not a solid panel.
Plan accessible switching for built-in appliances, such as a switched fused spur above the worktop, so they can be isolated without pulling them out.

Questions about integrated appliance installation in Craigavon

How much does integrated appliance installation cost in Craigavon?

Integrated appliance installation in Craigavon typically costs £40 to £70 each including VAT for fitting an integrated appliance into its housing, 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.

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.

Do built-in appliances need their own switch?

It is good practice under BS 7671 for built-in appliances to have an accessible means of isolation, for example a switched fused spur above the worktop, so they can be switched off without being pulled out. Some layouts use an accessible socket in a neighbouring cupboard instead. Manufacturers' instructions often cover this too, and the electrician confirms the right arrangement for your kitchen.

Do integrated fridges need ventilation?

Yes. Fridges and freezers give off heat as they run, so the housing must leave the airflow route the manufacturer specifies, often a gap behind the appliance and a vent in the plinth or above the housing. Without it the appliance works harder, uses more energy and may struggle to keep food cold. We check the gaps against the installation instructions before fitting.

Can you fit integrated appliances I have bought separately?

Yes. Appliances bought from any retailer can be fitted, as long as they match the housings. Send us the model numbers before the survey so we can check the installation dimensions, door-fixing method and connections. If an appliance does not suit the housing, it is far easier to exchange it unopened than to alter the units around it.
