Landlord and rental kitchens in Antrim
If you live in Antrim and need landlord and rental kitchens, we can measure the room, send an itemised written quote and book every trade in the right order until the kitchen is handed over.
Why do people in Antrim choose landlord and rental kitchens?
If you have bought a property in County Antrim to let and the kitchen is dated, replacing it before the first tenancy is far less disruptive than doing it later.
Landlords who live away from County Antrim often need a contractor who can work with their letting agent on keys, access and regular progress updates during the work. If your home is in Antrim or close by in Ballymena or Newtownabbey, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.
What do landlord and rental kitchens in Antrim include?
After the survey visit we write the scope down. For landlord and rental kitchens in Antrim it usually covers:
- Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
- New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant

Use these ranges to plan your budget. They include VAT, reflect costs in Northern Ireland, and are firmed up once we have seen your Antrim kitchen. Prices in Northern Ireland usually come in below the national guide, as labour rates are lower than in the South East.

Local homes and their kitchens
You will find red-brick terraces, Victorian villas, post-war estate houses and rural bungalows throughout County Antrim. Red-brick terraces in Belfast often have a narrow kitchen in the return, while estate houses and rural bungalows tend to have a separate kitchen with room for a table.
Terraced streets with entries at the back, city flats with booked lifts and country lanes can each affect deliveries, so the route for worktops is checked at the survey. Mains water across most of County Antrim is soft, so limescale is less of a problem and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner.
Regulations for kitchen work in Antrim
In Northern Ireland, a like-for-like rental kitchen needs no planning permission or building control approval. There is no notification scheme for domestic electrical work, but it should be tested and certified to BS 7671. Annual gas safety checks apply to rented homes, and gas connections are for Gas Safe registered engineers only. Private landlords must also have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years under the Electrical Safety Standards for Private Tenancies Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024.
Listed buildings and conservation areas in older parts of Belfast and the county towns may need consent for new vents, and apartment owners usually need management consent.
Planning ahead
- Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in County Antrim, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
- If your Antrim property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
- Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
- Plan fire safety in shared kitchens, such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket, as HMO licences commonly set these out.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Antrim
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Antrim?
For a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, budget around £5,300 to £9,700 including VAT in Antrim. That reflects typical costs in Northern Ireland; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Can you measure up in Antrim before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Antrim. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
What kind of kitchen lasts longest in a rented home?
A rental kitchen lasts longest when it combines well-built carcasses, doors with a tough, easily cleaned finish, laminate worktops with sealed edges and a wipe-clean vinyl floor. Simple, widely available appliances are quicker to replace when one fails. Finishes that mark easily or need regular oiling, such as solid wood worktops, are better avoided unless you are prepared to maintain them.
What does an HMO kitchen need to include?
It depends on your licence. HMO licence conditions and the council's HMO standards usually set the number of sinks and cookers, the amount of worktop and storage for the number of occupiers, and fire safety such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket. Check your licence conditions before the design is finalised, and send them to us so the kitchen is laid out to meet them.
Will I get certificates for the gas and electrical work?
Yes. Electrical work comes with an Electrical Installation Certificate or Minor Works Certificate, and the Gas Safe registered engineer provides a record of any gas work. These are separate from the annual gas safety check and any periodic electrical inspection, which landlords arrange on their own schedule. Keep them all together with your property records.
