Kitchen installation in Strabane
Bought a kitchen and need it fitted in Strabane, or want us to supply one? For kitchen installation, we start with a free survey visit and a fixed written scope.
When does kitchen installation make sense in Strabane?
Many people in County Tyrone replace a kitchen when they move in, before unpacking, so the noisy work is done while the house is still empty.
Landlords and sellers across County Tyrone often fit a new kitchen because it is one of the first rooms buyers and tenants judge a home by. We work throughout Strabane (BT82) and across the wider County Tyrone area.
What is included in the work?
Your written quote lists everything included. For kitchen installation, that normally means:
- First-fix electrics and plumbing for the new layout
- Worktops cut, jointed and sealed, or templated for stone
- Sink, tap and integrated appliances fitted and connected
- Panels, plinths, cornice, splashback and a final check before handover
- Removal and disposal of the old kitchen, with gas and electrics made safe
- Free survey visit, measurements and an itemised written quote

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Strabane?
Across County Tyrone you will often find rural bungalows, farmhouses, red-brick terraces and post-war estate houses, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Rural bungalows often have a long kitchen-dining room at the back, while terraced houses in Omagh and Strabane tend to have a narrow kitchen in the return.
Hardness varies across County Tyrone depending on the source, and some rural homes use private supplies, so check before choosing a filter or boiling water tap. Farm lanes, long drives and narrow country roads can limit delivery vehicles, so worktop lengths and delivery times are planned at the survey.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Strabane
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.
A kitchen fit itself needs no planning permission, but listed buildings and homes in conservation areas in older town centres may need consent for new external vents.
Worth knowing before the fit
- If your house in County Tyrone is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.
- Keep the delivery note and plan together until the fit, so any missing parts can be reported to the supplier quickly.
- Ask for appliance sizes and ventilation gaps to be checked against the housings before you buy appliances for a Strabane kitchen.
- Leave every box sealed until the fit; parts get lost or damaged once packaging is opened and stacked around the house.
Questions about kitchen installation in Strabane
How much does kitchen installation cost in Strabane?
Kitchen installation in Strabane typically costs £1,300 to £2,200 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, 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 work near Strabane as well?
Yes. As well as Strabane itself, we cover the rest of County Tyrone and nearby towns such as Derry/Londonderry and Omagh. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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.
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.
