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.
Every house in Strabane is a little different, so we never price a new kitchen from a brochure. We look at the structure, access and existing finishes first, then put in writing a fixed figure for the scope we settle on. As a rough steer, homeowners in Northern Ireland should budget £6,900–£19,000 including VAT, with work typically taking 1–3 weeks on site.

Building in Strabane
Tyrone is largely rural, with detached houses and bungalows on individual plots across the countryside, many finished in render or roughcast. Omagh, Dungannon, Cookstown and Strabane have Victorian terraced streets, post-war estates and newer developments, and stone farmhouses survive in older rural areas.
Rural detached homes commonly take extensions, loft rooms, porches and driveways, and older houses may need re-roofing and re-rendering. Town terraces suit rear extensions and window replacement.
None of this holds for every street in Strabane, which is why we look at your actual house before pricing a new kitchen rather than assuming from its age alone.
Planning and building rules in Strabane
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland each handle planning a little differently. Strabane comes under Northern Ireland, covered below, and we raise any questions with the council before your quote is finalised.
Internal improvements do not need planning permission in Northern Ireland unless the building is listed.
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.
From survey to handover
A visit to your home
A free survey comes first. It gives us what we need to price a new kitchen properly, including dimensions, existing materials and access for deliveries, and gives you the chance to ask anything you like.
Your fixed price
We put everything into a written, fixed-price quote: the specification, what's excluded, staged payments and the expected time on site. Take whatever time you need to decide; there's no pressure to commit.
Dates and permissions
Before anyone starts, we confirm the programme in writing, check whether consents are required and arrange deliveries. If a skip or scaffolding on the road needs a permit, we apply for it.
Finish and handover
The work is carried out to the agreed specification, with floors and furniture protected and the site kept tidy. At the end we clean up, walk through the finished job with you and hand over any certificates.
What you can expect from us
Kitchens in Strabane: questions
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 does it take to fit a kitchen?
Fitting a kitchen typically takes one to three weeks on site, depending on its size and how much the layout changes. Strip-out, first-fix plumbing and electrics, and any plastering come first, then units, worktops, appliances and tiling. Stone worktops are templated once the base units are in and usually fitted a week or two later. We give you a day-by-day plan before we start.
What should I do to prepare for my kitchen fitting?
Before fitting starts, empty all cupboards and drawers, clear worktops and remove anything from the walls. Plan where you will make drinks and simple meals for a week or two, and agree where deliveries will be stored, as units take up a lot of space. Make sure we can access the stopcock, fuse board and gas meter. We confirm the delivery date and start date in advance.
Is the price fixed?
Yes, for the specification we agree. Your written quote sets out exactly what is included at a fixed price. It only changes if you ask for something different, or if a problem the survey could not reasonably reveal later needs extra work. In either case we explain the change and confirm it in writing before going ahead.
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 Strabane 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.
