Landlord and rental kitchens in Derbyshire
Homeowners and landlords across Derbyshire can book us for landlord and rental kitchens: hard-wearing kitchens for rented homes and HMOs, fitted between tenancies to keep voids short.
Thinking about landlord and rental kitchens in Derbyshire?
Landlords who live away from Derbyshire often need a contractor who can work with their letting agent on keys, access and regular progress updates during the work.
If you have bought a property in Derbyshire to let and the kitchen is dated, replacing it before the first tenancy is far less disruptive than doing it later.
What do landlord and rental kitchens in Derbyshire include?
Your written quote lists everything included. For landlord and rental kitchens, that normally means:
- Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
- Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use
- Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
- New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
- HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage

Kitchens in homes across Derbyshire
You will find gritstone and limestone cottages, Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and former mining village terraces throughout Derbyshire. Terraces in Derby and Chesterfield often have a long galley behind the back room, while stone cottages in the Peak District may have a small kitchen in a rear extension.
Water hardness varies across Derbyshire, so check with your supplier; where it is harder, limescale on taps and boiling water taps is worth planning for. Steep hill villages and narrow lanes can limit delivery vehicles, while terraced streets in the towns may have little parking near the front door.
Former mining-village terraces often have a small back kitchen, and owners frequently open it into the living space to make a family room. Stone cottages tend to have walls that need scribing and floors that may need levelling before units go in.
Rules for landlord and rental kitchens in Derbyshire
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.
Homes in the Peak District National Park, listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent for a new vent on a visible wall or alterations to historic features.
Before you start
- 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.
- 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.
- Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for a Derbyshire rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
- Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Derbyshire property is empty.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Derbyshire
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Derbyshire?
Landlord and rental kitchens in Derbyshire typically cost £5,800 to £10,700 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the East Midlands. 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 Derbyshire?
Yes. We carry out landlord and rental kitchens across Derbyshire, including Derby, Chesterfield, Long Eaton and Ilkeston. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
