Kitchen Fitting in Co. Cork
7 businesses offering kitchen fitting across Co. Cork.
Kitchen units arrive as rectangles and rooms are never quite rectangular. Walls run out of plumb, corners are not square, floors fall away towards a door, and the fitter's real work is absorbing all of that so the finished run looks deliberate. Scribed end panels, packed and levelled legs and filler pieces at the ends of runs are what that takes. A kitchen that was expensive to buy and cheap to fit announces itself in the door gaps.
A full fit is a sequenced job. The old kitchen comes out, then any pipework and cabling that is moving is repositioned while the walls are open, then the carcasses go in and are levelled and fixed. Only then can a stone or quartz worktop be templated, because the template is taken off the units as actually installed rather than off the drawing, and that gap between templating and fitting is the part of the timeline people forget. Tiling, appliances and final connections follow. Two pieces of the work are not the fitter's to do: connecting a gas hob requires an installer on the Register of Gas Installers of Ireland, and new sockets or a new circuit for an oven or induction hob are restricted electrical work needing a Safe Electric registered contractor and a Completion Certificate.
Before booking, establish whether the price is supply and fit or fitting only, whether stripping out and disposing of the old kitchen is included, and who is responsible if parts arrive damaged or missing. Cost follows the number of units, the worktop material, and how far the services are moving.

Common questions
Do I need a plumber and an electrician as well as a fitter?
Almost always. Moving a sink or dishwasher means plumbing, and new sockets or a dedicated circuit for an oven or induction hob is restricted electrical work that must be done by a Safe Electric registered contractor who issues a Completion Certificate. If a gas hob is involved, that connection has to be made by an installer registered with the Register of Gas Installers of Ireland. Some fitters coordinate all of this; ask, because otherwise it is yours to organise.
Why is the worktop templated after the units are fitted?
Because a stone or quartz worktop is cut to the units as they actually sit in your room, not to the plan. The template is taken once the carcasses are level and fixed, then the worktop is cut and returned to be fitted, so there is a gap of several days in the middle of the job. During it you have units but no worktop and usually no sink, which is worth knowing before you plan around the work.
Is supply and fit better than buying the kitchen myself?
Neither is automatically better, but they fail differently. Buying separately can cost less and gives you a free choice of units, though a missing or damaged part becomes your problem to chase while the fitter waits. Supply and fit puts responsibility for both the goods and the installation in one place, which matters most when something turns out to be wrong.
Can I keep my existing units and just change the doors?
If the carcasses are sound, square and not swollen at the base from a past leak, replacing doors and worktops transforms the look for far less work than a full replacement. It is worth having someone check the carcasses and hinges first, because a refit onto tired boxes is money spent twice.
