What it means for a kitchen in Balbriggan

61% of homes here went up from 1991 to 2010, so most kitchens are 15 to 30 years old. Where the units are sound, a respray at €700 to €3,000 or new doors and a worktop does it; where the boards under the sink have swollen, it's a new kitchen.
17% of households live in flats or apartments. Read the lease and the management company's rules before booking anyone: a refresh or a new kitchen on the same walls is the usual job.
12% of homes were built since 2011. A builder's kitchen that young usually needs new doors or a stone worktop, not a new kitchen.
16% of homes heat with oil, so the boiler is often in the kitchen or a utility. Plan the new kitchen around it, or budget to move it.
A made-to-measure kitchen with a quartz worktop costs €15,000 to €25,000 fitted, VAT included, the same here as across Dublin.

Yes. We pass your request to one kitchen company that works in Balbriggan. They come to the house to measure up and give you a fixed price.
