Kitchens in homes across Dundee and Angus
You will find sandstone tenement flats, Victorian villas, post-war council-built houses and fishing town cottages throughout Dundee and Angus. Dundee's tenement flats often have a narrow kitchen or a box room off the hall, while villas in Broughty Ferry and the Angus towns tend to have larger separate kitchens.
Dundee and Angus have soft mains water, so limescale is rarely an issue and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay free of heavy scale. Common stairs in tenements, steep streets in parts of Dundee and narrow glen roads in Angus can each affect deliveries and worktop lengths.
Tenement flats often have a small kitchen that owners open into the living room, which needs a building warrant if a load-bearing wall is involved, and can need one even if it is not, where the change affects the escape route or fire separation. Victorian villa kitchens may sit in an old scullery area with high ceilings and original features.
Rules for landlord and rental kitchens in Dundee and Angus
In Scotland, a replacement kitchen in a let property does not normally need a building warrant, but electrical work must meet the building standards and BS 7671. 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, and only Gas Safe registered engineers may connect gas appliances. HMO licences set kitchen conditions, so check your licence and the council's HMO standards before the layout is planned.
Consent may be needed for new vents on listed buildings and in conservation areas, and homes in the upper Angus glens fall within the Cairngorms National Park.
Before you start
- Plan fire safety in shared kitchens, such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket, as HMO licences commonly set these out.
- 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.
- For an HMO, check your licence conditions and the council's HMO standards for numbers of sinks, cookers, worktop space and storage before ordering.
- Laminate worktops, durable doors and a wipe-clean floor cost less to buy and are cheaper to put right after a tenancy.
- Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Dundee and Angus, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
- Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Dundee and Angus
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Dundee and Angus?
Guide prices in Dundee and Angus are about £5,600 to £10,300 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 cover the whole of Dundee and Angus?
Yes. We carry out landlord and rental kitchens across Dundee and Angus, including Dundee, Arbroath, Forfar and Montrose. Every job starts with a free survey visit and 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.
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.
