Fitting kitchens in older and newer Derry/Londonderry homes

The housing mix across County Londonderry includes red-brick terraces, Georgian townhouses, rural bungalows and post-war estate houses, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Terraced houses in the city and in Coleraine often have a narrow kitchen in the return, while rural bungalows tend to have a larger kitchen with space for dining.

County Londonderry's mains water is generally soft, so limescale is rarely a big problem and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner. Steep streets in the city, terraces with limited parking and long country roads can each affect deliveries, so the route for worktops is checked at the survey.

What rules apply to supply and fit kitchens in Derry/Londonderry?

In Northern Ireland, a new kitchen in the same room needs no planning permission, and building control is only involved for structural changes or new drainage. Domestic electrics have no notification scheme, but the work is installed, tested and certified to BS 7671. Technical Booklet K covers kitchen ventilation, gas work is for Gas Safe registered engineers only, and listed buildings may need consent for internal changes.

The historic walled city is a conservation area with many listed buildings, so new external vents or changes to historic features there may need consent first.

Questions about supply and fit kitchens in Derry/Londonderry

How much do supply and fit kitchens cost in Derry/Londonderry?

Guide prices in Derry/Londonderry are about £7,000 to £15,800 including VAT for a budget kitchen, 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.

Can you measure up in Derry/Londonderry before quoting?

Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Derry/Londonderry. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.

What are the payment terms for a supply and fit kitchen?

Payment terms are set out in your written quote before anything is ordered, so you know exactly what is due and at which stage. They depend on the range and the scope of work, and nothing is ordered until you have read and agreed them. If any part of the schedule is unclear, ask about it before you sign rather than after the order has been placed.

Can I choose my own appliances with a supply and fit kitchen?

Yes. You can choose appliances through us as part of the specification or buy them yourself. If you buy them, send us the model details before the design is finalised, so housings, ventilation gaps, door-fixing kits and power points are planned around them. Any manufacturer cover on appliances you buy stays with you and the retailer you bought them from.

Who is responsible if a supplied part is wrong or damaged?

We are. Because we order the kitchen and take delivery, we check every item against the plan and deal with the supplier directly if anything is missing, damaged or wrong. You do not have to chase a retailer while a fitter waits on site. If a replacement affects the timetable, we tell you and re-plan the order of work around it.
