Landlord and rental kitchens in Craigavon

Why landlord and rental kitchens for a Craigavon home?

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

Shared houses across County Armagh often need larger kitchens with more storage, more worktop and extra cooking space, laid out around the conditions in the HMO licence. If your home is in Craigavon or close by in Portadown or Banbridge, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Craigavon homes

Typical homes in this part of County Armagh include Georgian townhouses, red-brick terraces, new town houses and rural bungalows. Georgian houses in Armagh often have kitchens in former back rooms, while new-town houses in Craigavon and rural bungalows tend to have compact rectangular kitchens.

Hardness in County Armagh depends on the source, from soft to moderately hard, so check with your water supplier before choosing a filter. Country lanes and farm entrances can be tight for delivery lorries, and older terraced streets may have limited parking, so delivery is planned ahead.

What rules apply to landlord and rental kitchens in Craigavon?

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.

Armagh's Georgian centre is a conservation area with many listed buildings, so new external vents or changes to historic features there may need consent first.

Planning ahead

If your Craigavon property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
Give your Craigavon tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
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 Craigavon

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Craigavon?

For a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, budget around £5,300 to £9,700 including VAT in Craigavon. That reflects typical costs in Northern Ireland; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Which parts of Craigavon do you work in?

All of them. Our County Armagh coverage takes in the whole of Craigavon, including the BT62, BT63, BT64, BT65, BT66 and BT67 postcode districts, as well as surrounding towns such as Portadown. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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 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.

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.
