Frequently Asked Questions

As specialists in custom-fitted wardrobes and bespoke kitchens in Cork, we at Aubie O'Rourke Fitted Furniture receive the same and similar questions from different people. Here are some straightforward answers to the most common questions we receive about our built-in furniture and bespoke fitted kitchens in Cork.

While minor updates like cabinet swaps or cosmetic changes might be manageable on your own, opting for a kitchen designer and a leading supplier of fitted kitchens in Cork is a smart move for important remodels. Bringing in professionals can’t only simplify the procedure but also lead to cost savings and make sure your kitchen aligns with the vision.

We offer bespoke fitted kitchens in Cork for both homeowners and commercial kitchen fit-outs for restaurants, cafes, offices, etc. Our services are focused on fitted cabinetry, storage for built-in appliances, installing carpets, and refurbishing existing woodwork. We are also certified dealers of Quooker Taps and the BORA Cooktop Extractor System. Each project is customised for the client, so you can always directly talk to us without any obligation and discuss your needs in more detail. We will see what we can do to fulfil them.

You might be guessing the obvious, that a specialist fitted furniture supplier in Cork, like we are, would always speak in favour of our products and services. However, we beg to differ with our expertise and acknowledge that fitted furniture is not for everyone. They are more suitable for homes that are looking for a long-term solution. The walls must have adequate structural integrity and be free from damp, cracks, and pests before the installation, though we can work around uneven, old walls. Dismantling a fitted wardrobe might be expensive and daunting, so it’s pretty much permanent. Considering these realities, fitted wardrobes are a worthwhile investment if you are looking to add resale value to your property, have a long-term plan, and want to maximise space utility with a clean and luxurious aesthetic.

Not really. If your walls don’t have damp, cracks or any termite issues, there is no practical need for plastering or any type of “preparation”, since the wall will be hidden behind the furniture.

We don’t directly offer financing; however, we do accept Stripe payments that have certain “buy-now-pay-later” features or other options for instalment payments. However, the offers are based on individual accounts and are subject to availability. Talk to us for more details.

Yes, of course. Since we are renowned for our custom-fitted wardrobes in Cork, many of our customers mistakenly presume that our services are only suitable for large areas.

We mostly work with premium-quality engineered wood, laminates, and timber sourced from our partner suppliers who are well-reputed across Cork and nearby locations. We also use top-notch branded hardware and fastening materials by Würth, Hafele and others to ensure smooth, silent and lasting functionality.

Most of our projects for bespoke fitted furniture in Cork indeed start from scratch, which has a lot to do with material matching and continuity of quality. However, it is still possible to repurpose or reuse elements from your existing furniture. We have done it in the past while making some of our TV units in Cork, alcove shelving, and under-stairs storage solutions on special client requests. Feel free to talk to our experts about it.

Yes, we do offer a warranty of up to 10 years for our fitted wardrobes in Cork. The warranty can vary depending on the type of material and furniture. On the whole, we deliver the finest quality and impeccable finishing that lasts really long.
