Landlord and rental kitchens in Boston
If you live in Boston 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.
Who usually needs landlord and rental kitchens in Boston?
Shared houses across Lincolnshire often need larger kitchens with more storage, more worktop and extra cooking space, laid out around the conditions in the HMO licence.
Landlords preparing a Boston property for the market sometimes renew the kitchen first, because it is one of the rooms prospective tenants judge most closely. If your home is in Boston or close by in Spalding or Sleaford, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.
What does the job involve?
Here is what usually goes into landlord and rental kitchens, adjusted to your Boston kitchen after we have measured it:
- New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage
- Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
- Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Boston?
You will find Victorian terraces, post-war council-built houses, farmhouses and seaside bungalows throughout Lincolnshire. Expect a narrow back kitchen in many Victorian terraces in Lincoln and Grimsby, while bungalows on the coast and in villages usually have a simple square kitchen.
Lincolnshire's mains water is mostly hard, so limescale on taps, sinks and boiling water taps is common, and a scale-reducing filter is a sensible addition. Long rural roads and farm tracks can affect delivery times and vehicle size, while terraced streets in the towns may have little parking near the front door.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Boston
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.
Fitting a kitchen needs no planning permission, but listed buildings in historic town centres and homes in conservation areas may need consent for new vents.
Practical advice for Boston homeowners
- Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Lincolnshire, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
- If your Boston property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
- Give your Boston tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
- 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 Boston
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Boston?
Guide prices in Boston are about £5,800 to £10,700 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.
Can you measure up in Boston before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Boston. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
Can you work with my letting agent on access?
Yes. Landlords who live away from the property often prefer this, so we can arrange keys, survey times and fitting access through your letting agent, with you approving the quote and any changes. We do not manage properties or act as a letting agent; we carry out the kitchen work and keep both you and your agent updated as it progresses.
How quickly can a rental kitchen be replaced between tenancies?
Usually three to seven days on site once the property is empty, depending on the size of the kitchen and whether services move. Ordering is the bigger factor, so we aim to survey during the notice period and have the kitchen delivered for the day the tenancy ends. Short gaps between tenancies are much easier to meet when the specification is settled early.
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.
