Kitchen Renovation Ballyfermot
Kitchen Renovation Ballyfermot
Whether you are replacing a tired kitchen, reworking a layout that never suited the house, or opening the room into the space next door, we handle kitchen renovations for homeowners across Ballyfermot from first survey to final fit.
Ballyfermot is largely 1950s housing, much of it originally local authority built, and the kitchens are a product of that: compact, practical and considerably smaller than a modern household expects. The room is usually the constraint, not the kitchen in it.
Kitchen Renovations in Ballyfermot
Ballyfermot is largely 1950s housing, much of it originally local authority built, and the kitchens are a product of that: compact, practical, and considerably smaller than a modern household expects.
The honest starting point here is that the room is usually the constraint, not the kitchen in it.
Compact Rooms, Real Limits
In a kitchen of this size, a replacement gets you better doors, better worktops and appliances that work, and it will look considerably better. What it will not do is give you more room.
If your complaint is that the kitchen looks tired, replacement is the right answer and good value. If your complaint is that there is nowhere to put anything and nowhere to sit, replacement will disappoint you, and we would rather say that at the survey than take the job and hear it afterwards.
The Two Ways to Get More Space
The first is opening the kitchen into the adjoining room. In this housing the dividing wall generally carries load, so it needs a beam sized by an engineer, propping while the opening is formed, and making good. It costs more than a kitchen but it changes how the house lives.
The second is extending. Ballyfermot plots are generally decent, and a modest rear extension frequently delivers the kitchen and dining space people are actually describing. Doing the extension and kitchen as one project is far more efficient than sequencing them, and our house extensions in Ballyfermot page covers what the site allows.
Services in 1950s Housing
Expect wiring and plumbing that has been added to over decades rather than designed. Kitchen circuits are commonly inadequate for modern appliances, and the boiler or electrical board is frequently sited in the kitchen, often in the run of units you want to change.
All of it is workable. It just has to be established at survey rather than found once the old kitchen is out.

Kitchen Renovation Ballyfermot FAQs
Will a new kitchen make my Ballyfermot kitchen bigger?
No, and it is worth being clear about that. A replacement gets you better doors, worktops and appliances and it will look considerably better, but the room stays the same size. If your complaint is that it looks tired, replacement is good value. If it is that there is nowhere to put anything, replacement will disappoint you.
What are my options for more space?
Two. Opening the kitchen into the adjoining room, which needs a beam sized by an engineer because the wall generally carries load. Or extending, which Ballyfermot plots generally allow. We price both honestly rather than steering you to one.
Will my electrics take a new kitchen?
Often not without work. In 1950s housing the wiring has been added to over decades rather than designed as a whole, and kitchen circuits are commonly inadequate for modern appliances. It is all workable, but it has to be established at survey rather than found once the old kitchen is out.
The boiler is in the kitchen. Does that limit the design?
It does, and it is common in this housing along with the electrical board. Moving either is possible but it is specialist work with its own costs and sign-offs. We locate everything at survey so it is planned around from the start rather than discovered during setting out.
