Landlord and rental kitchens in Devizes

Thinking about landlord and rental kitchens in Devizes?

Landlords with rental flats in Devizes 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 Devizes still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy. We work throughout Devizes (SN10) and across the wider Wiltshire area.

What is included in the work?

Here is what usually goes into landlord and rental kitchens, adjusted to your Devizes kitchen after we have measured it:

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

Kitchens in homes around Devizes

The housing mix across Wiltshire includes thatched and stone cottages, Victorian railway terraces, post-war estate houses and new-build estates, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Railway terraces in Swindon often have a narrow back kitchen, while stone and thatched cottages in the villages tend to have small kitchens with low ceilings.

Village lanes and farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries, and Salisbury's historic centre has limited parking, so delivery is planned in advance. Wiltshire's water is hard, much of it from chalk, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help.

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

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 thatched cottages, Salisbury's historic centre and other conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent or changes to historic features.

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 Devizes property is empty.
Keep a spare door, a few plinth clips and some handles from the order in storage, ready for quick repairs between tenancies.
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 Devizes

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Devizes?

For a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, budget around £6,200 to £11,300 including VAT in Devizes. That reflects typical costs in the South West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Can you measure up in Devizes before quoting?

Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Devizes. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send 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.

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.

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.
