From the survey to handover, landlord and rental kitchens in Cwmbran are run by us as one job, with the fitters and trades booked in the right order.
Thinking about landlord and rental kitchens in Cwmbran?
Landlords with rental flats in Cwmbran often replace a kitchen between tenancies, when the property is empty and the work will not disturb anyone living there.
If you have bought a property in Gwent to let and the kitchen is dated, replacing it before the first tenancy is far less disruptive than doing it later. Kitchens in every part of Cwmbran are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Gwent.

- Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
- HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage
- Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use

- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation

Kitchens in homes around Cwmbran
Across Gwent you will often find valley terraces, Victorian villas, post-war council-built houses and new-build estates, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Valley terraces often have a small kitchen in the rear extension, while Victorian villas in Newport and post-war houses in Cwmbran tend to have a separate kitchen and dining room.
Steep valley streets, terraces with steps up to the door and limited parking can make carrying long worktops difficult, so access is checked at the survey. Water across most of Gwent is soft to moderately soft, which is kinder to taps, though some areas are harder, so check with your supplier.
Do you need approval for landlord and rental kitchens in Cwmbran?
In Wales, extending an existing circuit within a kitchen is notifiable under Part P, so almost any new socket in a rental kitchen is certified through a competent person scheme or building control. Landlords in Wales also need periodic electrical inspections and annual gas safety checks, and gas connections are made only by Gas Safe registered engineers. HMO kitchens should follow the licence conditions and the council's HMO standards.
The northern edge of Gwent falls within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas elsewhere may need consent for new external vents.
Tips before you start
- Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
- Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Cwmbran property is empty.
- Give your Cwmbran 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 Cwmbran
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Cwmbran?
Guide prices in Cwmbran are about £5,500 to £10,100 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.
Do you work near Cwmbran as well?
Yes. As well as Cwmbran itself, we cover the rest of Gwent and nearby towns such as Pontypool and Risca. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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.
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.
