Landlord and rental kitchens in Crewe

Who usually needs landlord and rental kitchens in Crewe?

Landlords with rental flats in Crewe often replace a kitchen between tenancies, when the property is empty and the work will not disturb anyone living there.

If your family let in Crewe still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy. Crewe sits about 21 miles south of Warrington, and our Cheshire coverage takes in everything in between.

What is included in the work?

Your written quote lists everything included. For landlord and rental kitchens, that normally means:

Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage

Kitchens in homes around Crewe

You will find Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, new-build estates and period farmhouses and cottages throughout Cheshire. Terraces in towns such as Crewe and Warrington often have a back-addition galley, while 1930s semis usually have a small kitchen that can be opened into a dining room.

Rural lanes and long farm drives can be awkward for delivery vans, and terraced streets in older town centres may have limited parking close to the door. Hardness varies across Cheshire, from fairly soft in some places to moderately hard in others, so check with your supplier before choosing a filter or boiling water tap.

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

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.

Listed timber-framed buildings, homes in conservation areas such as central Chester and the Cheshire fringe of the Peak District National Park may need consent for new vents.

Practical advice for Crewe homeowners

Keep a spare door, a few plinth clips and some handles from the order in storage, ready for quick repairs between tenancies.
Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Cheshire, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
Give your Crewe 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 Crewe

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Crewe?

For a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, budget around £5,700 to £10,400 including VAT in Crewe. That reflects typical costs in the North West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Do you work near Crewe as well?

Yes. As well as Crewe itself, we cover the rest of Cheshire and nearby towns such as Nantwich and Sandbach. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.

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.
