Kitchen Renovations in Rathfarnham
Rathfarnham has an unusually wide spread of housing, from older properties near the village through the large 1960s and 1970s estates to more recent development, and a notable number of bungalows.
That variety means there is no standard Rathfarnham kitchen job, and the survey does more work here than in a uniform estate.
Bungalow Kitchens
Bungalows are worth calling out separately, because the constraints differ. Everything is on one level, so there is no floor structure between kitchen and bedrooms to help with noise or services routing, and internal walls are more likely to be load-bearing than people assume given the roof spans across them.
Opening a bungalow kitchen into the living space is frequently the right move and frequently structural. It needs an engineer rather than an assumption.
1960s and 1970s Houses
In the estate housing the typical arrangement is a separate kitchen at the rear, closed off from the dining room. Opening the two into one space is the change that most improves how the house works, and it means a steel beam sized by an engineer with propping and making good.
Services in houses of this age have usually been added to piecemeal. Kitchen circuits are frequently undersized for modern appliances, and waste runs took the shortest route rather than the best one. We establish what is there before quoting.
Kitchen Extensions in Rathfarnham
Where the room simply is not big enough, an extension is the answer rather than better units. Doing both as a single project is considerably more efficient than sequencing them. Our house extensions page covers what the site will allow.
What We Check in Rathfarnham Homes

Kitchen Renovation Rathfarnham FAQs
Can I open up the kitchen in a bungalow?
Often yes, and it is frequently the right move. But bungalow internal walls are more likely to be load-bearing than people assume, because the roof spans across them. It needs an engineer rather than an assumption, and we bring one in rather than guessing.
My kitchen is a separate room at the back. Can it be opened up?
Usually. In the 1960s and 1970s estate housing that is the standard arrangement, and opening the kitchen into the dining room is the change that most improves how the house works. It needs a steel beam sized by an engineer, with propping and making good.
Will the wiring cope with a new kitchen?
Often not without work. In houses of this age the services have usually been added to piecemeal rather than designed as a whole, and kitchen circuits are frequently undersized for modern appliances. We establish what is there before quoting.
Would I be better off extending?
If the room genuinely is not big enough, then yes, and better units will not fix that. Where an extension is the answer, doing it together with the kitchen as a single project is considerably more efficient than doing them one after the other.
