What does a kitchen fitter do?
Full kitchen installs, worktop fitting, splashbacks, and appliance integration by vetted, insured kitchen fitters.
A kitchen fitter installs new kitchens — typically a 1–3 week job that covers stripping out the old kitchen, prepping walls and floors, fitting new units, worktops, splashbacks, sinks, taps, and integrated appliances, and coordinating the plumber, electrician, and tiler along the way. Most Irish kitchen installations are renovations of existing spaces rather than new-build kitchens, which means good kitchen fitting is as much problem-solving as joinery — working around plastered walls, existing services, and the layout constraints of older homes. Sequencing matters: strip-out and first-fix trades come first, units and worktops follow, and finishing work comes last.
Kitchen fitters typically come from a carpentry background and run their own small crews, including or coordinating with the plumber, electrician, and tiler. The end-to-end installation runs from the initial measure (often carried out by the kitchen supplier), to design and ordering (3–8 weeks lead time on units), to the install itself (1–2 weeks for a typical kitchen). Snagging happens in the final week — adjusting drawer fronts and door alignment, fitting end panels, plinth, and cornice, and sealing around worktops and splashbacks so the finished kitchen is square, level, and watertight.

How much does a kitchen fitter cost in Ireland?
Indicative pricing — your actual quote will vary
Kitchen fitting labour varies by complexity and scope — the size of the kitchen, the state of the room after strip-out, and how much plumbing, electrical, and tiling work is involved. Kitchen units, worktops, and appliances are typically priced separately from labour, so the figures below are indicative Irish ranges for fitting only. Before any work starts, insist on an itemised quote that separates fitting labour from the other trades — it makes it far easier to see exactly what you're paying for.
A standard mid-range kitchen install (10–15 units, mid-range supplier like Howdens, Nolan, B&Q) runs €2,500–€4,500 in fitting labour. A premium kitchen install (custom or high-end brands) is €4,000–€8,500. Add €300–€700 for tiling splashbacks. Plumber and electrician costs are typically €800–€1,800 each on a full kitchen. A turnkey total (units + appliances + fitting + plumber + electrician + tiler) for a typical Irish 3-bed kitchen ranges €12,000–€30,000+ depending on units chosen. Treat these as indicative figures rather than a fixed price list — your matched trader will confirm the true cost once they've seen the room, the units you've ordered, and the condition of the existing services.
These are indicative ranges based on typical Irish jobs. Final pricing depends on scope, materials, and urgency. On Jobiit your matched trader sends one fully itemised quote (labour, materials, VAT) so there are no surprises.

Kitchen Fitter FAQs
Should I buy units and appliances separately or as a package?
Most Irish homeowners buy units from a kitchen supplier (Nolan, Cash & Carry Kitchens, Howdens) who handle design and supply. Appliances can be supplied with the kitchen or sourced separately (often cheaper). Worktops are sometimes supplied by the kitchen company, sometimes by a dedicated stone supplier (better for natural stone). Fitting is often booked separately from units, which gives more flexibility on price and crew quality.
How long is a kitchen install start to finish?
Lead time for units to arrive: 3–8 weeks. On-site install: 1–2 weeks for a standard kitchen, 2–3 weeks for larger or complex kitchens with extensive tiling, flooring, electrical, or knock-throughs. Total project from order to fully usable: 4–10 weeks. The first 3–5 days are noisy and disruptive (strip-out, plastering, electrical work). The middle days are unit fitting (less invasive). The final days are finishing and snagging.
Can I cook during the install?
For about half the install period, no — at least no full meals from the kitchen. Most homeowners set up a temporary microwave/kettle/sandwich-toaster station in another room and order takeaway or eat out for the worst week. The cooker and fridge are usually disconnected for 4–8 days during install. Plan meals accordingly. Some clients move out for the disruptive week, especially with young kids.
Quartz or granite or laminate worktops?
Laminate: cheapest at €40–€100 per m² fitted, hard-wearing, modern designs look good, 10–15 year lifespan. Granite: €350–€600 per m² fitted, natural stone, requires occasional sealing. Quartz (engineered stone): €400–€700 per m² fitted, consistent colour, no sealing, the most popular Irish choice for new kitchens. Solid wood: €250–€400 per m² fitted, warm look, requires oiling. Most modern installs go quartz for durability and appearance.
Will I need an electrician and plumber separately?
Yes for almost all kitchen installs. The kitchen fitter handles the units; plumber connects sink, dishwasher, washing machine, and any moved water supplies; electrician handles socket relocations, hob and oven wiring, integrated appliance circuits, and lighting changes. Most kitchen fitters coordinate the plumber and electrician on your behalf — but the bills come separately. Budget €1,800–€4,000 combined for plumber and electrician on a typical kitchen.
Will my details be shared with a list of kitchen fitters?
No. Jobiit isn't a bidding marketplace where dozens of businesses compete for your details. When you post your kitchen job, it's matched to one vetted local kitchen fitter — ID-verified through Stripe Identity and holding valid public liability insurance — chosen closest and best-rated first. Messaging happens in-app, most homeowners receive a quote within a few hours, and posting is completely free.
