Landlord and rental kitchens in Bognor Regis

Why landlord and rental kitchens for a Bognor Regis home?

Landlords who live away from West Sussex often need a contractor who can work with their letting agent on keys, access and regular progress updates during the work.

Landlords preparing a Bognor Regis property for the market sometimes renew the kitchen first, because it is one of the rooms prospective tenants judge most closely. We work throughout Bognor Regis (PO21) and across the wider West Sussex area.

Local homes and their kitchens

You will find 1930s semis, flint and brick cottages, post-war new town houses and seaside bungalows throughout West Sussex. Crawley's new-town houses often have a compact galley, while seaside bungalows in Worthing and Bognor Regis tend to have a small square kitchen beside the dining area.

Coastal flats may have no lift, and village lanes on the edge of the Downs can be narrow for delivery lorries, so the delivery route is checked at the survey. West Sussex has mostly hard water, so limescale on taps, sinks and boiling water taps is common and a filter is worth considering.

What rules apply to landlord and rental kitchens in Bognor Regis?

In England, a replacement rental kitchen needs no planning permission, though a listed building may need listed building consent. New circuits are notifiable under Part P and certified through a competent person scheme or building control. Private landlords need an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), with portable appliance testing (PAT) of any appliances they supply, at least every five years, plus annual gas safety checks, so keep the new certificates with those records. Gas connections are made only by Gas Safe registered engineers, and HMO kitchens must meet the licence conditions.

Homes in the South Downs National Park, listed flint cottages and conservation areas such as central Chichester may need consent for a new external vent.

Getting the most from your landlord and rental kitchens

Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in West Sussex, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
Pick a door style and colour from a range likely to stay available, so one damaged door can be replaced without changing the whole kitchen.

Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Bognor Regis

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Bognor Regis?

Landlord and rental kitchens in Bognor Regis typically cost £6,900 to £12,600 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the South East. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Which parts of Bognor Regis do you work in?

All of them. Our West Sussex coverage takes in the whole of Bognor Regis, including the PO21 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Chichester. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
