0 verified kitchen fitters on NI Trades · Free to post a job
A skilled kitchen fitter handles the assembly, levelling, and finishing of a new kitchen — units, worktops, splashbacks, plinths, appliances, sink and trim. In Northern Ireland a full kitchen install usually pulls in two or three other trades: a plumber for the sink and dishwasher, an electrician for new circuits and the hob, and where there is gas, a Gas Safe engineer for the hob or hot water. Ask any kitchen fitter who is taking on the whole job how they handle those other trades and check their public liability insurance is current on the day work begins.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a kitchen fit take in Northern Ireland?
A like-for-like replacement in an existing layout usually takes 5–8 working days. A new layout with relocated plumbing, electrics or gas, or a structural change such as removing a wall, can push the project to 2–4 weeks. The right answer for your kitchen depends on whether the supply is in (often delayed at delivery), whether the floor needs prep, and whether other trades are sequenced cleanly. Agree the full programme in writing before work starts.
Should I supply the kitchen myself or let the fitter source it?
Both are common in NI. Buying the kitchen yourself (Howdens, B&Q, Wren, Magnet or a local supplier) gives you direct control over the spec and lets you compare prices, but you carry the risk of missing or damaged units on delivery. Letting the fitter source it through their trade account is often simpler — they take responsibility for the delivery and any replacements — but compare like-for-like on the spec and check the markup. Get the supply route confirmed in writing either way.
Do I need a separate electrician and plumber for a kitchen install?
Almost always, yes. Connecting an electric hob, oven, induction unit, or installing new sockets and lighting circuits requires a registered electrician (NICEIC, NAPIT or ECA), and connecting a sink, dishwasher, washing machine or boiler involves a plumber. Where the hob is gas, the connection must be made by a Gas Safe registered engineer. A good NI kitchen fitter will either bring their own trusted sub-contractors or coordinate yours into the programme.
Can a kitchen fitter do the tiling and worktop too?
Most experienced NI kitchen fitters handle splashback tiling, laminate and solid-wood worktops in-house. Quartz, granite and engineered stone worktops are normally template-measured and fitted by a specialist stone fabricator, who comes in on a separate day after the units are in place. Confirm before signing whether the fitter is doing the worktop or whether you are paying a separate stone supplier.
Important
Most kitchen-fit disputes come from unclear sequencing. Agree in writing who is buying the kitchen, who pulls in the plumber and electrician, and who is responsible if delivered units are damaged or short on arrival.
