Local homes and their kitchens

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.

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 kitchen installation in Craigavon?

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.

Planning ahead

Clear the room and the route to it before fitting day, and arrange somewhere in your Craigavon home for a kettle and microwave.
Keep the delivery note and plan together until the fit, so any missing parts can be reported to the supplier quickly.
Before you order a kitchen for your Craigavon home, ask for a survey so the plan is checked against real measurements, not estimates.
If the house was built before 2000, consider an asbestos survey before strip-out, especially with textured ceilings or old floor tiles.

Questions about kitchen installation in Craigavon

How much does kitchen installation cost in Craigavon?

For a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, 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.

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.

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.
