Kitchen refurbishment in Dungannon

Why do people in Dungannon choose kitchen refurbishment?

Plenty of homeowners in Dungannon have kitchens with solid carcasses and tired fronts, and a refurbishment lets them keep the layout they are used to while replacing everything they see each day.

Some Dungannon households want a new look but cannot face two weeks without a kitchen; a refurbishment keeps the services in place and shortens the time the room is out of use. We work throughout Dungannon (BT70 and BT71) and across the wider County Tyrone area.

What is in a typical job?

Here is what usually goes into kitchen refurbishment, adjusted to your Dungannon kitchen after we have measured it:

New handles drilled and fitted, with hinges and drawer runners adjusted or replaced
Old worktops removed and new laminate, wood or stone worktops fitted
New doors, drawer fronts, end panels and plinths fitted to the existing units
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
Free survey visit to check every carcass for water damage, level and fixings

Local homes and their kitchens

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.

Regulations for kitchen work in Dungannon

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 book kitchen refurbishment in Dungannon

In an older house in County Tyrone, ask for the walls behind the worktop to be checked for level, as a new straight worktop can show gaps the old one hid.
If you let a property in Dungannon, book the refurbishment between tenancies and choose durable finishes such as laminate worktops and wipe-clean splashbacks.
If your Dungannon kitchen has a tiled splashback, decide early whether it stays; removing old tiles often damages the plaster behind and adds a day of making good.
Open the sink cupboard and look for swollen board or staining; water-damaged carcasses should be replaced, not hidden behind new doors.

Questions about kitchen refurbishment in Dungannon

How much does kitchen refurbishment cost in Dungannon?

Guide prices in Dungannon 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 work near Dungannon as well?

Yes. As well as Dungannon itself, we cover the rest of County Tyrone and nearby towns such as Cookstown and Armagh. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.

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.

Is it worth refurbishing a kitchen rather than replacing it?

Often, yes, if the carcasses are sound and you are happy with the layout. A refurbishment keeps the hidden structure and spends the budget on what you see. It stops being good value when several units are water-damaged, when you want to move the sink, hob or walls, or when the units are an unusual size that new doors will not suit.

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.
