Kitchens in homes across County Armagh
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.
Hardness in County Armagh depends on the source, from soft to moderately hard, so check with your water supplier before choosing a filter. Country lanes and farm entrances can be tight for delivery lorries, and older terraced streets may have limited parking, so delivery is planned ahead.
Rural bungalow refits are common, often adding a utility room for boots and laundry, more storage and an open kitchen-dining area. Terraces and Georgian town houses tend to have smaller kitchens, where careful planning around period features, chimney breasts and uneven walls matters.
Rules for replacement kitchen doors in County 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.
Before you start
- Check the carcasses first; a swollen sink base, a sagging shelf or loose hinge plates mean some units may need replacing before new doors.
- Door sizes and hinge positions vary between makers, so doors must be made to measure or matched carefully to your existing units.
- Remember the extras: end panels, plinths, cornice, pelmet and integrated appliance doors all need to match the new fronts.
- If the worktops are also worn, consider replacing them in the same visit rather than fitting new doors beside tired surfaces.
- Allow for delivery time on made-to-measure doors; your kitchen stays usable while you wait, as nothing comes off until they arrive.
- Choose handles after the doors, holding samples against the new colour in your County Armagh kitchen's daylight before anything is drilled.
Questions about replacement kitchen doors in County Armagh
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in County Armagh?
Guide prices in County Armagh are about £880 to £2,600 including VAT for 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted. 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 Armagh?
Yes. We carry out replacement kitchen doors across County Armagh, including Craigavon, Portadown and Armagh. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
Are new hinges and handles fitted with the doors?
Yes, normally. Old hinges are often worn or set for the old doors, so new soft-close hinges are fitted and adjusted so the doors close quietly and the gaps run even. Handles are drilled from a template so every one sits at the same height and distance from the edge. If you would like to reuse your existing handles, the new doors are drilled to suit them.
What if some of my kitchen units are water damaged?
Damaged units are replaced before the new doors go on, because swollen chipboard does not recover. The sink base is the usual problem, from slow leaks at the trap or tap, followed by units beside the dishwasher. We check every carcass at the survey, look for the cause of any leak, and price replacement units as a separate line so you can see the cost clearly.
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.
