Is kitchen installation right for your County Armagh kitchen?
Some County Armagh households already have a kitchen they like the look of but not the fit: doors out of line, gaps at the wall and a worktop that has lifted.
If you have bought a home in County Armagh with a small galley or a dated back kitchen, a new installation can make far better use of the same space.

Kitchens in homes across County Armagh
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.
Rural bungalow refits are common, often adding a utility room for boots and laundry, more storage and an open kitchen-dining area. Terraces and Georgian town houses tend to have smaller kitchens, where careful planning around period features, chimney breasts and uneven walls matters.
Rules for kitchen installation in County 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.
Before you start
- If the house was built before 2000, consider an asbestos survey before strip-out, especially with textured ceilings or old floor tiles.
- Plan for one to two weeks without a working kitchen; a microwave, kettle and a temporary sink elsewhere make it easier.
- Decide where the sink, hob and dishwasher go early, because moving them later means repeating plumbing, electrics and tiling.
- Order stone worktops for templating as soon as the base units are fixed, as fabrication usually takes one to two weeks.
- Ask for appliance sizes and ventilation gaps to be checked against the housings before you buy appliances for a County Armagh kitchen.
- If you live in a flat in County Armagh, check building rules on working hours, lift protection and parking for the fitting van.
Questions about kitchen installation in County Armagh
How much does kitchen installation cost in County Armagh?
For a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, budget around £1,300 to £2,200 including VAT in County Armagh. 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 Armagh?
Yes. We carry out kitchen installation across County Armagh, including Craigavon, Portadown and Armagh. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
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.
What order does a kitchen installation follow?
The usual sequence is strip-out, any structural work, first-fix electrics and plumbing, plastering, base and wall units, worktops, second fix of sockets, sink, tap and appliances, then splashbacks, flooring and decorating. Some floors go down before the units and some after, depending on the floor type, which we agree at the survey.
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.
