What a Kitchen Installation Really Includes

A professional kitchen installation covers every essential stage of preparing, fitting and finishing your new space.

  • Site preparation and removal of the old kitchen
  • Structural checks
  • Plumbing, electrical and ventilation adjustments
  • Precise fitting of cabinetry
  • Worktop installation
  • Appliance integration
  • Final finishing, sealing and quality checks

Common Challenges Dublin Homeowners Face

Dublin homes often come with unique layout considerations — from period properties to compact city spaces. A skilled installation team must anticipate and resolve challenges such as:

  • Uneven walls or floors
  • Narrow access points
  • Existing outdated plumbing or electrical systems
  • Irregular alcoves or older construction methods

With extensive experience across Dublin’s diverse neighbourhoods, Velvet Strand Design ensures each kitchen fits perfectly, regardless of the property’s age or complexity.

Planning Your Kitchen Installation in Dublin: A Step-By-Step Guide

1

Accurate Measurement of Your Space

All successful installations begin with precise measurement. Even small inaccuracies can result in misaligned cabinetry, reduced storage efficiency, or issues with appliance fitting.

  • Wall irregularities
  • Skirting and cornicing
  • Pipework
  • Ventilation points
  • Appliance clearance

Professional installers account for every structural detail before fabrication begins.

Choosing a Layout That Works for Irish Homes

The right layout should complement both your lifestyle and the architecture of your home, whether it’s an L-shaped, U-shaped, galley or open-plan space.

  • Coordinating arrival of appliances
  • Aligning electrician, plumber, and carpenter timelines
  • Allowing correct drying and curing times for surfaces
