What changes the job in Dublin

Older homes, older pipes and wiring

48% of Dublin homes were built before 1981 (Ireland: 41%). In an older house a new layout usually means new pipes and wiring behind it: moving the sink, cooker, extractor or sockets adds about €1,000 to €4,000. Ask for it in the same quote as the kitchen, and get the electrics done by a Registered Electrical Contractor, with a certificate.

Apartments and smaller kitchens

27% of Dublin homes are flats or apartments (Ireland: 13%). An apartment kitchen is usually one wall or a galley, so the cost is in the doors, the worktop and the appliances rather than the size. Check the management company's rules on working hours, lifts and the skip before a fitting date is booked.

New homes and one-off houses

13,681 new homes were finished in Dublin in 2025, 283 of them one-off houses. In a self-build the kitchen goes in after the plastering, so bring the kitchen design to the builder before the first fix: the sink, hob and sockets then go where the kitchen needs them, first time.

Rented homes

36% of Dublin households rent from a private landlord. A landlord refreshing a kitchen between tenants usually gets most for the money from a respray or new doors and a laminate worktop, done in a few days.
