Our price guide
Typical prices for Irish homes. Your written quote comes after the room is measured.
Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant
Up to €50,000, or €70,000 for a derelict property, for a home that's been vacant for at least two years and built before 2008, that you'll live in or rent out. Kitchen units are listed under fittings. Apply to your local authority before work starts.
Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability
Up to €40,000, or €20,000 for a home less than 12 months old, from your local authority. It's means-tested: households earning up to €37,500 can get 100% of the cost, and there's nothing above €75,000. A kitchen adaptation has to be accepted by the council as necessary.
SEAI grants, if the kitchen is coming out anyway
SEAI doesn't pay for kitchens, but the work often happens together. Its grants cover attic and cavity wall insulation, heat pumps up to €12,500, solar panels at €1,800, heating controls, and windows and doors. If the back wall is being opened anyway, that's the time to price the insulation. Details at seai.ie.
Paying for a kitchen without a grant
Keep the units and change the fronts: a respray from €700, or new doors and a worktop from €1,350. See remodel or refresh.
Take a photo, pick a style, colour and worktop, and our free Studio draws it on your room.
