Landlord and rental kitchens in Coulsdon
Landlord and rental kitchens in Coulsdon start with a free survey visit: we measure up, check the walls, floor and service positions, and explain what the job involves before anything is priced.
Why landlord and rental kitchens for a Coulsdon home?
If your family let in Coulsdon still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy.
Landlords who live away from Greater London often need a contractor who can work with their letting agent on keys, access and regular progress updates during the work. We cover all of Coulsdon, including the CR5 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Greater London.
What do landlord and rental kitchens in Coulsdon include?
Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:
- Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
- New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Coulsdon?
Typical landlord and rental kitchens prices for homes in Coulsdon, including VAT and adjusted for London. Your own figure depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and what is moving. Prices in London usually run above the national guide, mainly because labour and parking cost more.

| 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 |

Local homes and their kitchens
The housing mix across Greater London includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. 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.
Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day. 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.
Do you need approval for landlord and rental kitchens in Coulsdon?
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.
Practical advice for Coulsdon homeowners
- Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
- If your Coulsdon property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
- 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 Coulsdon
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Coulsdon?
Guide prices in Coulsdon are about £7,800 to £14,300 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 Coulsdon before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Coulsdon. 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.
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.
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.
