Landlord and rental kitchens in County Antrim
Our landlord and rental kitchens work covers the whole of County Antrim, including Belfast, Lisburn and Newtownabbey.
When do landlord and rental kitchens make sense in County Antrim?
If you have bought a property in County Antrim to let and the kitchen is dated, replacing it before the first tenancy is far less disruptive than doing it later.
If a tenancy has left a County Antrim rental with a damaged worktop, swollen units or broken doors, a replacement can cost less over time than repeated repairs.

Kitchens in homes across County Antrim
Across County Antrim you will often find red-brick terraces, Victorian villas, post-war estate houses and rural bungalows, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Red-brick terraces in Belfast often have a narrow kitchen in the return, while estate houses and rural bungalows tend to have a separate kitchen with room for a table.
Mains water across most of County Antrim is soft, so limescale is less of a problem and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner. Terraced streets with entries at the back, city flats with booked lifts and country lanes can each affect deliveries, so the route for worktops is checked at the survey.
Opening the return kitchen of a Belfast terrace into the living room is a common way to make a kitchen-diner. Rural bungalows often run on oil-fired heating, and owners frequently want a larger kitchen with a utility room for boots and laundry.
Rules for landlord and rental kitchens in County Antrim
In Northern Ireland, a like-for-like rental kitchen needs no planning permission or building control approval. There is no notification scheme for domestic electrical work, but it should be tested and certified to BS 7671. Annual gas safety checks apply to rented homes, and gas connections are for Gas Safe registered engineers only. Private landlords must also have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years under the Electrical Safety Standards for Private Tenancies Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024.
Listed buildings and conservation areas in older parts of Belfast and the county towns may need consent for new vents, and apartment owners usually need management consent.
Before you start
- For an HMO, check your licence conditions and the council's HMO standards for numbers of sinks, cookers, worktop space and storage before ordering.
- 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.
- Survey during the notice period where the tenant agrees, so the kitchen can be ordered in time to fit as soon as the 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.
- Give your County Antrim tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
- Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for a County Antrim rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in County Antrim
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in County Antrim?
Landlord and rental kitchens in County Antrim typically cost £5,300 to £9,700 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in Northern Ireland. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Do you cover the whole of County Antrim?
Yes. We carry out landlord and rental kitchens across County Antrim, including Belfast, Lisburn, Newtownabbey and Carrickfergus. Every job starts with a free survey visit and 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.
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.
