Kitchen installation in Armagh

Thinking about kitchen installation in Armagh?

Many people in County Armagh replace a kitchen when they move in, before unpacking, so the noisy work is done while the house is still empty.

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Armagh homes

In and around Armagh, homes range across 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.

Do you need approval for kitchen installation in Armagh?

In Northern Ireland, a like-for-like kitchen refit needs no planning permission or building control application. There is no Part P-style notification for domestic electrics, but the work should be installed and tested to BS 7671 and certified. Structural alterations and new drainage go to council building control under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, and gas work is for Gas Safe registered engineers only.

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.

Worth knowing before the fit

Ask for appliance sizes and ventilation gaps to be checked against the housings before you buy appliances for an Armagh kitchen.
Check that your Armagh delivery can reach the kitchen: tall larder units and long worktops need clear access through doors and stairs.
If your house in County Armagh is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.
Decide where the sink, hob and dishwasher go early, because moving them later means repeating plumbing, electrics and tiling.

Questions about kitchen installation in Armagh

How much does kitchen installation cost in Armagh?

Guide prices in Armagh are about £1,300 to £2,200 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.

Which parts of Armagh do you work in?

All of them. Our County Armagh coverage takes in the whole of Armagh, including the BT60 and BT61 postcode districts, as well as surrounding towns such as Portadown. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

How long does it take to install a kitchen?

Most kitchens take three to twelve days on site to fit, depending on the number of units and whether services are moving. Allow one to three weeks overall once electrics, plumbing, tiling and flooring are included, plus one to two weeks between templating and fitting if you choose stone worktops.

Will you fit a kitchen I have bought myself?

Yes. We fit kitchens bought from any retailer, trade counter or online supplier, flat-pack or rigid. On the survey we check the plan, and before fitting we check the delivery against it. Missing or damaged parts are for the supplier to replace, and we tell you straight away so the fit can be re-planned.

Can I use my kitchen during the installation?

Not for most of it. Once the old kitchen comes out there is no sink or cooker until the new one is connected, usually a week or two for an average kitchen. We plan the job so the water and power are off for as little time as possible, and we tell you which days will be the most disruptive.
