Landlord and rental kitchens in Brent
We take on landlord and rental kitchens in Brent and the surrounding HA9 postcodes, working to a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anyone starts.
Is landlord and rental kitchens right for your Brent kitchen?
Landlords with rental flats in Brent often replace a kitchen between tenancies, when the property is empty and the work will not disturb anyone living there.
If you have bought a property in Greater London to let and the kitchen is dated, replacing it before the first tenancy is far less disruptive than doing it later. If your home is in Brent or close by in Wembley or Sudbury, Greater London, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.
What is in a typical job?
Your written quote lists everything included. For landlord and rental kitchens, that normally means:
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
- HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage
- New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
- Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Brent?
Typical landlord and rental kitchens prices for homes in Brent, including VAT and adjusted for London. Your own figure depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and what is moving. Labour in London generally costs more than the UK average, which lifts these ranges a little.
| Typical project | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Small rental kitchen (flat or terrace), supplied and fittedHard-wearing units, laminate worktops, essential appliances | £7,800–£14,300 |
| Family let kitchen, supplied and fittedMore units and appliances, durable finishes | £11,700–£21,000 |
| Shared kitchen in an HMO, supplied and fittedLonger runs, extra storage, durable surfaces | £13,000–£26,000 |
Rental kitchen ranges include hard-wearing units, laminate worktops, essential appliances and fitting with connections to the existing layout; new circuits, moved services, flooring and tiling are quoted as separate lines where needed. Prices include VAT at 20%.
Local homes and their kitchens
In and around Brent, homes range across Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis. Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley beside the side return, while conversion flats and mansion blocks usually fit the kitchen into a small room or along one living-room wall.
London's mains water is hard, so limescale builds quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth planning in. Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Brent
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.
Conservation areas are widespread across London, so a new extractor vent on a front wall may need permission, and leaseholders usually need the freeholder's written consent first.
Tips before you start
- Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
- Keep a spare door, a few plinth clips and some handles from the order in storage, ready for quick repairs between tenancies.
- Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Brent property is empty.
- Laminate worktops, durable doors and a wipe-clean floor cost less to buy and are cheaper to put right after a tenancy.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Brent
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Brent?

Do you cover all of Brent?
Yes. We work across Brent, including the HA9 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Wembley and Sudbury, Greater London. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.
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.
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.
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.
