Is landlord and rental kitchens right for your Chorley kitchen?
Landlords preparing a Chorley property for the market sometimes renew the kitchen first, because it is one of the rooms prospective tenants judge most closely.
Shared houses across Lancashire often need larger kitchens with more storage, more worktop and extra cooking space, laid out around the conditions in the HMO licence. We cover all of Chorley, including the PR7 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Lancashire.

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Chorley?
Typical landlord and rental kitchens prices for homes in Chorley, including VAT and adjusted for the North West. Your own figure depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and what is moving. Labour rates in the North West are generally lower than in London and the South East, so these ranges are a little below the national guide.
| Typical project | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Small rental kitchen (flat or terrace), supplied and fittedHard-wearing units, laminate worktops, essential appliances | £5,700–£10,400 |
| Family let kitchen, supplied and fittedMore units and appliances, durable finishes | £8,600–£15,200 |
| Shared kitchen in an HMO, supplied and fittedLonger runs, extra storage, durable surfaces | £9,500–£19,000 |
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%.
Fitting kitchens in older and newer Chorley homes
Across Lancashire you will often find stone-built mill-town terraces, red-brick Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and seaside bungalows, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Mill-town terraces often have a small back kitchen opening onto a yard, while seaside bungalows and 1930s semis tend to have a square kitchen at the rear.
Most of Lancashire has soft mains water, so heavy limescale is rare and taps, sinks and appliances stay cleaner for longer. Back alleys and yards can help with deliveries, though narrow yard gates and steep hill streets may limit how long worktops come in.
Do you need approval for landlord and rental kitchens in Chorley?
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.
Where an older town-centre home is listed or in a conservation area, a new vent on a front wall may need consent, and flats in converted houses usually need freeholder approval.
Before you book landlord and rental kitchens in Chorley
- 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.
- Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
- 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 Chorley
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Chorley?
For a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, budget around £5,700 to £10,400 including VAT in Chorley. That reflects typical costs in the North West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Can you measure up in Chorley before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Chorley. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
