What it means for a kitchen in Lucan

60% 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.
31% of households have four or more bedrooms. Bigger houses mean bigger kitchens: an island adds €2,000 to €5,000, and a painted shaker kitchen with an island starts around €16,000.
14% 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.
15% of homes were built since 2011. A builder's kitchen that young usually needs new doors or a stone worktop, not a new kitchen.
A made-to-measure kitchen with a quartz worktop costs €15,000 to €25,000 fitted, VAT included, the same here as across Dublin.

How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Lucan?

A made-to-measure kitchen in Lucan costs €15,000 to €25,000 fitted, VAT included, a budget kitchen €5,000 to €10,000 fully installed, and a respray of the one you have €700 to €3,000. What changes in Lucan is the house.

Do I need planning permission for a kitchen extension in Lucan?

Not for a rear extension of up to 45 m², counting earlier extensions, that meets the conditions, including leaving 25 m² of private open space. Lucan is in South Dublin County Council's area, which applies the same national rules. If you need permission, the fee for a domestic extension is €34.

Will a kitchen company come out to Lucan?

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