Kitchen Renovations in Longford & the Midlands
A Kitchen Renovation Is One of the Best Investments You Can Make in Your Home
A kitchen renovation is also one of the smartest financial decisions you can make as a homeowner.
In Ireland, a well-planned and well-executed kitchen renovation consistently delivers one of the strongest returns on investment of any home improvement project — adding significantly more to the value of your property than it costs to carry out.
Whether you're renovating with the intention of staying in the home for another twenty years or with one eye on the property market, a quality kitchen is one of the first things buyers notice and one of the last things they forget.
Getting it right matters — not just for how the room looks on day one, but for how it performs and holds up over the years that follow.
Why Hire RPH Construction for Your Kitchen Renovation in Longford
How Much Does a Kitchen Renovation Cost in Longford?
This is the question every homeowner wants answered before they pick up the phone, so we'll give you a straight answer.
In 2026, the cost of a new kitchen in Ireland ranges from around €5,000 for a basic flat-pack installation to well over €30,000 for a fully bespoke kitchen with premium appliances. For most homeowners in Longford and the Midlands, a realistically budgeted mid-range kitchen renovation — new units, worktops, tiling, plumbing and electrical works included — will typically fall somewhere between €10,000 and €25,000 depending on the size of the kitchen, the specification chosen and whether any structural or layout changes are involved.
The key factors that influence the cost are the size of the kitchen, whether you're changing the layout or keeping the existing one, the quality of the units and worktops you choose, and whether plumbing or electrical work needs to be moved. Keeping your existing kitchen layout is one of the biggest ways to control costs — if you can work within the current footprint, you avoid the additional labour and material costs that come with repositioning plumbing and electrical supplies.
The only way to get an accurate figure is to have someone come out and look at the space. We offer free site visits across Longford and the surrounding counties — we'll assess the kitchen, discuss what you want to achieve and give you a clear written quote before any work begins.

What Our Kitchen Renovations Include
A kitchen renovation with RPH is not a case of dropping in a new set of units and calling it done. We approach every kitchen project as a full construction job — stripping back what's there, assessing what's underneath and building something that's going to last.
Depending on the scope of your project, our kitchen renovation service covers:
Layout & Structural Changes If your kitchen doesn't flow the way you want it to, we can reconfigure the layout entirely. That might involve removing a wall to open up the kitchen into the dining or living area, repositioning doors or windows, or rearranging the floor plan to give you the space and flow that works for your household. We carry out all structural work in-house — no need to bring in a separate contractor.
Plumbing & Electrical Works Moving a sink, adding an island, relocating the cooker, putting in a new extractor — all of this involves plumbing and electrical work that has to be done properly. Our team handles first and second fix plumbing and electrics as part of the renovation, so everything is completed to standard by the same crew.
Kitchen Unit Installation & Carpentry We work with your chosen kitchen supplier or can advise on local suppliers we've worked with across Longford and the Midlands. Once units arrive, our carpenters handle the full installation — carcasses, doors, handles, plinths, cornices and everything in between — with the precision and finish that quality joinery demands.
Worktops From laminate to solid wood, quartz to granite — worktop choice has a significant impact on both the look and the cost of your kitchen. We install all types of worktop and can advise on what suits your budget, your lifestyle and the overall design of the space.
Tiling Floor tiles, wall tiles, splashbacks — our team handles all kitchen tiling as part of the renovation. We work with whatever tiles you've chosen and take the time to set out properly so that the finished result looks exactly as it should.
Flooring Kitchen flooring takes more punishment than almost any other floor in the house. We install a wide range of kitchen flooring options including tiles, luxury vinyl, and hardwood — all fitted properly to the substrate for a finish that lasts.
Plastering & Decoration Once the hard work is done, we plaster, skim and make good any surfaces that have been disturbed during the renovation, and leave the kitchen ready for painting and decoration.
Kitchen Renovation Questions Answered
A straightforward kitchen renovation — new units, worktops, tiling and decoration with no major structural changes — typically takes two to four weeks from start to finish. If you're opening up a wall, moving plumbing or making significant structural changes, allow four to six weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline as part of your written quote before any work begins.
Most homeowners stay in their home during a kitchen renovation. You will be without a functioning kitchen for the duration of the main works, which is worth planning around — particularly if the renovation is running for several weeks. We discuss this with every client before we start and work to minimise disruption where possible.
That's entirely up to you. Some clients come to us having already purchased their kitchen from a supplier — we're happy to work with whatever you've chosen. Others prefer to ask us for recommendations on local suppliers we've worked with and trust. Either approach works.
Yes. This is one of the most popular changes we carry out as part of a kitchen renovation. Removing a wall between the kitchen and an adjoining room is structural work that needs to be done correctly, with the appropriate steelwork installed to support what's above. Our team handles this in-house — there's no need to bring in a separate structural contractor.
Yes. We regularly work on older properties across Longford and the Midlands where the kitchen hasn't been touched in decades. Older homes often throw up surprises behind the units — outdated wiring, old plumbing, unexpected structural issues — and our experience means we know how to handle them without the project going off the rails.
