A new kitchen installation replaces your old units, worktops and appliances with a new layout fitted to your room, including the plumbing, electrics, tiling and finishing needed to leave a complete, working kitchen.
Homes across County Armagh vary a great deal, so we price a new kitchen only after seeing the property. Our coverage takes in Craigavon, Portadown and Armagh and the surrounding districts. As a guide, expect £6,900–£19,000 including VAT in Northern Ireland; the final figure depends on size, materials and access. Any permissions are checked against the rules for Northern Ireland before we quote.

Homes in County Armagh
Armagh city has Georgian buildings, many in local limestone, around its historic centre. Portadown and Lurgan, linked by the Craigavon plan of the 1960s, have Victorian terraces, post-war estates and newer developments. The countryside is dotted with detached rural houses and bungalows, often finished in roughcast or render.
Rural bungalows and detached homes commonly take extensions, loft rooms, driveways and fencing. Terraces suit rear extensions and window replacement, and rendered houses often need re-rendering or painting.
A moderate inland climate with frequent rain and winter frost, and low ground near Lough Neagh can be wet.

For anyone in County Armagh, the relevant framework is Northern Ireland's. The summary below is general, so we always contact the council about your address before putting a price in writing.

The Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) apply to structural work, drainage and ventilation; electrical work should be tested and certified.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
The four stages
Survey and measure
We begin by looking at the job in person. During the free survey we discuss options, materials and budget for a new kitchen, and photograph or measure anything the quote needs to reflect.
Written quote
You get the price in writing, itemised so you can see where the money goes. As long as the specification stays the same, that is the price you pay for a new kitchen.
Booking the work
With the quote agreed, we book the work in and handle preparation: permissions where needed, building control notifications, material orders and access arrangements for your County Armagh property.
Finish and handover
Our trades complete a new kitchen while your point of contact keeps you updated. When everything is finished, we clear the site, take away waste and go through the result with you before handover.
How we work
Frequently asked questions
Which worktop material should I choose?
Laminate worktops are the most affordable and come in many stone and wood effects, though they can be damaged by hot pans. Solid wood is warm and repairable but needs regular oiling. Quartz is very hard-wearing, stain-resistant and needs little maintenance, but it costs more and is made to template after the units are fitted. We bring samples and explain the care each one needs.
Can a new kitchen be part of a knock-through?
A new kitchen often goes hand in hand with removing a wall to create an open-plan kitchen-diner. The wall removal, steel beam and building control approval are done first, then the plastering, and finally the kitchen is fitted into the new space. Doing both under one plan avoids fitting a kitchen twice and lets you design the layout for the larger room.
Can you combine a new kitchen with other work?
Yes. Because we manage several trades under one contract, we can plan a new kitchen alongside other work on your County Armagh home, such as new windows with rendering, or a kitchen refit with an extension. Combining jobs can reduce repeat set-up such as scaffolding, skips and access, and every element is listed and priced in the same written quote.
How long will I be without a kitchen?
You are usually without a working kitchen for one to two weeks, from strip-out until the sink and hob are reconnected. If stone worktops are being made to template, we can fit a temporary worktop so you can use the sink while you wait. Many people set up a microwave, kettle and fridge in another room. We plan the order of work to keep this period as short as possible.
How long will a new kitchen take?
On a typical home, allow 1–3 weeks on site. Larger projects, older buildings and extra work found once things are opened up can extend that, while simpler jobs may be shorter. Your quote includes an estimate of time on site, and your point of contact keeps you updated on the programme as the work progresses.
