Kitchen refurbishment in County Tyrone
We carry out kitchen refurbishment across County Tyrone, from Omagh to the smaller towns, with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote as standard.
When does kitchen refurbishment make sense in County Tyrone?
If the kitchen in your County Tyrone flat is compact and well planned, there is little to gain from moving anything; new surfaces, a new sink and better lighting can do most of the work.
Landlords across County Tyrone often refurbish rather than replace between tenancies, because new doors, worktops and a sink can be fitted in days and the units underneath are rarely the problem.
What does kitchen refurbishment in County Tyrone include?
Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:
- Free survey visit to check every carcass for water damage, level and fixings
- New doors, drawer fronts, end panels and plinths fitted to the existing units
- Old worktops removed and new laminate, wood or stone worktops fitted
- New handles drilled and fitted, with hinges and drawer runners adjusted or replaced
- Sink and tap replaced on the existing supplies and waste
- Tiled, glass or panel splashback fitted once the new worktops are in
- Under-cabinet and ceiling lighting updated by an electrician and tested to BS 7671
- Damaged units or tired appliances swapped where the rest of the kitchen is sound

Kitchens in homes across County Tyrone
You will find rural bungalows, farmhouses, red-brick terraces and post-war estate houses throughout County Tyrone. 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.
In a rural bungalow or farmhouse, the kitchen often doubles as the main living space, with a range, a large table and a utility for boots. Terraced houses in the towns tend to have small return kitchens that owners open into the living room.
Rules for kitchen refurbishment in County Tyrone
In Northern Ireland, a kitchen refurbishment needs no planning permission or building control application, although a listed building may need listed building consent before historic features are removed. There is no Part P-style notification for domestic electrics, but new lighting and sockets should be installed and tested to BS 7671 and certified. A gas hob must be reconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
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.
Before you start
- Open the sink cupboard and look for swollen board or staining; water-damaged carcasses should be replaced, not hidden behind new doors.
- Keep appliances that fit their housings, but check that any new integrated appliance matches the existing gap and door-fixing method.
- If several units are damaged, the layout no longer suits you or services need moving, a full new kitchen may be better value.
- Measure replacement doors against your carcasses rather than the old doors, as widths, hinge positions and drawer box sizes vary between ranges.
- Collect appliance model numbers before the survey so housing sizes and door-fixing kits can be checked against anything you plan to keep or replace.
- Plan meals for the days the worktop and sink are out in your County Tyrone home; a kettle, a microwave and a washing-up bowl in another room make those days easier.
Questions about kitchen refurbishment in County Tyrone
How much does kitchen refurbishment cost in County Tyrone?
Guide prices in County Tyrone are about £2,200 to £5,300 including VAT for new doors, worktops and handles on sound units. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.
Do you cover the whole of County Tyrone?
Yes. We carry out kitchen refurbishment across County Tyrone, including Omagh, Strabane, Dungannon and Cookstown. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
Can I keep my existing appliances during a refurbishment?
Usually, yes. Built-in ovens, hobs and integrated appliances can stay if they work well and suit the existing housings. If you replace one, the new appliance must match the housing dimensions and door-fixing method, and a larger oven or an induction hob may need a new cooker circuit. We check model numbers and sizes at the survey, before you buy anything.
How do you check whether my kitchen units are sound?
At the survey we check the carcasses one by one. We look for swollen or flaking board around the sink, dishwasher and kettle area, staining from old leaks, sagging shelves, damaged hinge holes, loose wall fixings and units that have dropped out of level. Sound carcasses are kept, and damaged ones are listed on the quote as replacements so nothing is left to chance later.
Will a refurbished kitchen look like a new one?
It can come very close, because doors, worktops, handles and the splashback make up most of what you see. The differences show inside the cupboards and in the layout, which stays the same. Matching new end panels, plinths and cornice to the doors matters, because old panels left in place give the age of the kitchen away.
