Kitchen Renovations Dublin — The Heart of Your Home, Transformed

Kitchen Renovations Dublin homeowners invest in more than any other single room in the house, and with good reason. The kitchen is the most used and most scrutinised space in any home — by the people who live in it every day, and by buyers when the property eventually comes to market. At Dublin Builders, we have been designing and fitting kitchens across Dublin for over 30 years, managing every element of the renovation from demolition and structural works through to final snagging.

Our approach to kitchen renovation is fully managed from start to finish. We coordinate all the trades that a kitchen fit-out requires — plumbers, electricians, plasterers, tilers, and carpenters — working to a single fixed-price contract and a clear programme. You deal with one team and one point of contact throughout, rather than trying to coordinate multiple contractors yourself.

Whether you are fitting out a new kitchen extension, reconfiguring an existing layout to create an open plan kitchen-diner, or simply replacing an outdated kitchen in the same footprint, our team has the experience to deliver a result that exceeds your expectations and stands the test of time.

  • Steel beam installation
  • Structural engineer coordination

A kitchen renovation is the right time to upgrade your plumbing and electrical installation. We carry out a full first and second fix to current regulations as part of every kitchen project.

  • Sink and drainer installation
Kitchen Styles

Kitchen Styles We Fit Across Dublin

Modern & Contemporary

Clean lines, handleless doors, gloss or matte finishes, and integrated appliances. A popular choice for open plan kitchen-diners across Dublin's newer homes and renovated properties.

Shaker & Traditional

Timeless in-frame or shaker-style cabinetry suits Dublin's Victorian and Edwardian properties particularly well. Available in painted or primed finishes with a wide range of colour options.

Handleless & Minimalist

Push-to-open or J-pull cabinetry with integrated appliances and flush surfaces creates a sleek, uncluttered aesthetic that suits contemporary open plan spaces.

Country & Farmhouse

Warm tones, natural materials, and a relaxed aesthetic. Ideal for older properties in Dublin suburbs and rural areas where character and warmth are the priority over minimalism.

How We Work

Our Kitchen Renovation Process

1

Design Consultation

We visit your home to assess the existing kitchen, discuss your layout preferences, style, appliance requirements, and budget. We take measurements and produce a detailed layout for your review.

2

Fixed-Price Quotation

We provide a fully itemised fixed-price quotation covering cabinetry, worktops, appliances, plumbing, electrical, tiling, flooring, and all associated works. No surprises mid-project.

3

Managed Installation

Our team manages all trades in sequence — first fix plumbing and electrics, plastering, tiling, cabinet installation, worktop templating and fitting, then second fix and appliance connection.

4

Snagging & Handover

Before handover we carry out a full snagging inspection, checking every door, drawer, appliance, tile joint, and fitting. We do not leave until you are completely satisfied with the result.

Kitchen Renovation Costs in Dublin

The cost of a kitchen renovation in Dublin varies considerably depending on the size of the kitchen, the specification of cabinetry and worktops, appliance choices, and the extent of plumbing and electrical works required. As a general guide, a mid-range kitchen renovation in a standard three-bedroom Dublin home typically costs between €15,000 and €30,000 fully installed, including all cabinetry, worktops, appliances, tiling, and trade works. Higher specification kitchens with quartz or granite worktops, integrated appliances, and bespoke joinery can range from €30,000 to €60,000 or more. Open plan conversions requiring structural works are priced separately. All projects are quoted on a fixed-price basis before work begins.

How Long Does a Kitchen Renovation Take in Dublin?

A standard kitchen renovation in an existing footprint typically takes 2 to 4 weeks on site, depending on the extent of plumbing and electrical works and whether tiling is included. Kitchen renovations involving structural alterations such as a wall removal or open plan conversion typically take 4 to 6 weeks. If the project is combined with a rear extension, the programme will be longer. We provide a clear timeline at the outset and keep you updated weekly so you can plan around the disruption effectively.

Does a Kitchen Renovation Add Value in Dublin?

A well-executed kitchen renovation is consistently cited as one of the best returns on investment in Irish property. In Dublin's competitive property market, an outdated or poorly fitted kitchen is one of the first things buyers discount from their offer — and conversely, a beautifully designed and fitted kitchen can be a decisive factor in both sale price and speed of sale. A quality kitchen renovation typically adds between 5% and 15% to the market value of a Dublin home, with open plan kitchen-diner conversions at the higher end of that range. The quality and durability of materials matter as much as the design — a kitchen that looks tired after five years adds no lasting value.

Kitchen Renovations Dublin — Frequently Asked Questions

For most kitchen renovations you can remain in the house, though you will be without a functional kitchen for the majority of the build programme. We advise setting up a temporary kitchen space — a kettle, microwave, and small fridge in another room — for the duration. The most disruptive phase is typically the demolition and first fix, after which the kitchen gradually becomes functional again. We communicate clearly about what to expect each day so you can plan around it.
We offer both options. Our fully managed service includes design, supply, and installation of cabinetry, worktops, and appliances from our trade suppliers, which we include in a single fixed-price quotation. Alternatively, if you have already purchased or selected a kitchen from a supplier such as IKEA, Nolte, or a bespoke kitchen company, we can manage the installation and all associated trade works. We are happy to discuss which approach suits your situation best.
Yes, this is one of the most common works we carry out alongside a kitchen renovation. If the wall between the kitchen and dining room or hallway is load-bearing, it must be replaced with a structural steel beam, which requires a structural engineer's specification. We coordinate this in full. The result is typically transformative — creating a brighter, more functional, and more sociable space that significantly improves how the ground floor of the house works.
Quartz composite is the most popular choice in Dublin kitchens at present — it is extremely durable, low maintenance, and available in a wide range of colours and finishes including marble-effect options. Porcelain worktops are a newer alternative with excellent heat and scratch resistance. Granite remains a premium natural stone option. Solid wood worktops are popular for island units but require more maintenance. Laminate worktops offer good value at the lower end of the budget range. We discuss options with you at the design stage based on your lifestyle and budget.
Yes. Appliance connection and integration is included in every kitchen renovation we carry out. We can supply appliances through our trade accounts at competitive prices, or we can connect and integrate appliances you have purchased independently. All gas appliance connections are carried out by a Registered Gas Installer (RGI), and all electrical connections are carried out by a qualified electrician to ETCI standards.
Yes, and it is often the most cost-effective approach. Combining a rear extension with a kitchen renovation under a single contract means the kitchen design can be developed alongside the extension layout from the outset, ensuring the space works perfectly as a whole. We manage both elements under one fixed-price contract, with a single project manager overseeing all trades from groundworks through to kitchen handover.
