Landlord and rental kitchens in Carmarthen

Why landlord and rental kitchens for a Carmarthen home?

If your family let in Carmarthen still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy.

If you have bought a property in Dyfed to let and the kitchen is dated, replacing it before the first tenancy is far less disruptive than doing it later. We work throughout Carmarthen (SA31) and across the wider Dyfed area.

What is included in the work?

Here is what usually goes into landlord and rental kitchens, adjusted to your Carmarthen kitchen after we have measured it:

Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use
Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation

Kitchens in homes around Carmarthen

In and around Carmarthen, homes range across stone cottages, Victorian terraces, farmhouses and post-war bungalows. Stone cottages and farmhouses often have a small kitchen in a rear extension, while terraces in Llanelli and Aberystwyth tend to have a narrow galley at the back.

Mains water across most of Dyfed is soft, so limescale is rarely a big problem, though farms on private supplies may need their own filtering. Rural farm tracks, steep coastal lanes and long distances between villages can affect delivery vehicles, so worktop lengths and timing need planning ahead.

Do you need approval for landlord and rental kitchens in Carmarthen?

In Wales, extending an existing circuit within a kitchen is notifiable under Part P, so almost any new socket in a rental kitchen is certified through a competent person scheme or building control. Landlords in Wales also need periodic electrical inspections and annual gas safety checks, and gas connections are made only by Gas Safe registered engineers. HMO kitchens should follow the licence conditions and the council's HMO standards.

Homes in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park or Bannau Brycheiniog, listed cottages and conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent or historic alterations.

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.
Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for a Carmarthen rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
Give your Carmarthen tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
For an HMO, check your licence conditions and the council's HMO standards for numbers of sinks, cookers, worktop space and storage before ordering.

Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Carmarthen

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Carmarthen?

Guide prices in Carmarthen are about £5,500 to £10,100 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 Carmarthen before quoting?

Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Carmarthen. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.

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.

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.

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.
