Is landlord and rental kitchens right for your Armagh kitchen?

House types around Armagh and what they mean for a kitchen
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.
Country lanes and farm entrances can be tight for delivery lorries, and older terraced streets may have limited parking, so delivery is planned ahead. Hardness in County Armagh depends on the source, from soft to moderately hard, so check with your water supplier before choosing a filter.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Armagh
In Northern Ireland, a like-for-like rental kitchen needs no planning permission or building control approval. There is no notification scheme for domestic electrical work, but it should be tested and certified to BS 7671. Annual gas safety checks apply to rented homes, and gas connections are for Gas Safe registered engineers only. Private landlords must also have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years under the Electrical Safety Standards for Private Tenancies Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024.
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.
Practical advice for Armagh homeowners
- Keep a spare door, a few plinth clips and some handles from the order in storage, ready for quick repairs between tenancies.
- Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Armagh property is empty.
- Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
- Plan fire safety in shared kitchens, such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket, as HMO licences commonly set these out.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Armagh
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Armagh?
Landlord and rental kitchens in Armagh typically cost £5,300 to £9,700 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, 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.
Which parts of Armagh do you work in?
All of them. Our County Armagh coverage takes in the whole of Armagh, including the BT60 and BT61 postcode districts, as well as surrounding towns such as Portadown. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.
Can you work with my letting agent on access?
Yes. Landlords who live away from the property often prefer this, so we can arrange keys, survey times and fitting access through your letting agent, with you approving the quote and any changes. We do not manage properties or act as a letting agent; we carry out the kitchen work and keep both you and your agent updated as it progresses.
What does an HMO kitchen need to include?
It depends on your licence. HMO licence conditions and the council's HMO standards usually set the number of sinks and cookers, the amount of worktop and storage for the number of occupiers, and fire safety such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket. Check your licence conditions before the design is finalised, and send them to us so the kitchen is laid out to meet them.
Will I get certificates for the gas and electrical work?
Yes. Electrical work comes with an Electrical Installation Certificate or Minor Works Certificate, and the Gas Safe registered engineer provides a record of any gas work. These are separate from the annual gas safety check and any periodic electrical inspection, which landlords arrange on their own schedule. Keep them all together with your property records.
