Kitchens in homes around Armagh
Typical homes in this part of County Armagh include Georgian townhouses, red-brick terraces, new town houses and rural bungalows. 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, new kitchen doors need no planning permission and no building control application. If the house is listed, check before altering any original fitted joinery, as listed building consent may be needed. Lighting added to plinths or cornice should be installed and tested to BS 7671 and certified, even though there is no notification scheme for domestic electrical work. The doors, panels and handles themselves need no paperwork.
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
- Open the sink cupboard in your Armagh kitchen and press the base; soft or swollen board means that unit needs replacing before new doors.
- Keep one old door until the new ones are fitted, so sizes and hinge positions can be checked if anything does not line up.
- If you let out an Armagh property, new doors can often be fitted between tenancies in a day or two once they have been delivered.
- Remember the extras: end panels, plinths, cornice, pelmet and integrated appliance doors all need to match the new fronts.
Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Armagh
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Armagh?
Replacement kitchen doors in Armagh typically cost £880 to £2,600 including VAT for 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, 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.
Can you measure up in Armagh before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Armagh. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
Can new doors be fitted to my existing kitchen units?
Usually, yes, as long as the carcasses are sound. We measure every door and drawer front at the survey and check the hinge positions, because sizes vary between makers and older kitchens often use sizes that are no longer standard. Doors are then made to measure or matched to your units, drilled for new hinges and hung so the gaps line up across each run.
When does a new kitchen make more sense than new doors?
When the problem is more than the look. If several carcasses are swollen or broken, the layout does not work for you, or you want to move the sink, hob or appliances, new doors only cover the issue. New doors suit kitchens whose cabinets are square, dry and well fixed and whose layout still works. We will tell you at the survey which route we think makes sense.
Can I change to a completely different door style?
Usually, yes. Slab, shaker and painted doors can all go on standard carcasses if the sizes and hinge positions suit. An in-frame look is more involved, because the doors sit inside a frame built onto the front of the units, so it costs more. A true handleless kitchen uses rails built into the carcasses, so with a door change that look is imitated with edge-profiled doors instead.
