    Hello,

    I have a need of getting a new kitchen for my small apartment. I would like to use good materials (plywood and painted doors) and I have a budget of 5k so I was hoping to avail of the HRI, but I'm having great difficulties of finding a contractor to fit the kitchen.

    Does anyone know a good contractor company that operate in Dublin that could fit the kitchen, do the plumbing if needed, the electrical and the wall tiles? the company has to be registered for HRI.

    I have found a kitchen provider (Fitzgerald kitchens) that is registered for HRI, but their contractor incredibly is not. I talked with different companies but all snort their noses or don't even reply when HRI is mentioned.

    In alternative, do you know a kitchen company that would use plywood as materials and which is fully registered for HRI?

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Tierneys who did ours were registered for HRI as were most of the places we spoke to tbh IIRC, we spoke to the Panelling Centre.

    I'd have thought the only way you wouldn't qualify for HRI would be if you were doing a self-install or using a fitter who wasn't tax compliant (i.e. doing a nixer while claiming welfare).

    Thanks for the suggestion. I called them but they don't do plywood unfortunately :( .

    The problem is their fitter contractor doesn't want to do HRI, either because he won't bother to do it or because he is not compliant with taxes, I don't know.

    In honesty the HRI process is a pain in the ars&, you have a 5k minimum spending and you have to trust the contractor to file the documents and investigate that he is in good terms with the tax department. It would make more sense if you could just get a receipt and claim it off your taxes. But this is for another post ;)

    Painted Kitchen , Plywood carcass don't go in the same sentence as 5k, unless you want to fit a matchbox .
