Why landlord and rental kitchens for a Dunoon home?
If your family let in Dunoon still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy.
Portfolio landlords in Dunoon sometimes standardise one durable kitchen specification across the properties they let, so doors, handles and parts are easy to match later. We work throughout Dunoon (PA23) and across the wider Argyll and Bute area.
What do landlord and rental kitchens in Dunoon include?
The exact scope is agreed after the survey, but a typical job in Dunoon covers:
- Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe

- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Dunoon homes
Typical homes in this part of Argyll and Bute include Victorian villas, whitewashed cottages, tenement flats and post-war bungalows. Victorian villas in Dunoon and Oban often have a separate scullery and a larger kitchen, while cottages and bungalows tend to have a compact room at the back.
Long single-track roads are common, and some mainland addresses are quickest reached by ferry, so delivery dates, vehicle size and worktop lengths need planning around timetables and weather. Soft water is usual across Argyll and Bute, so limescale is rarely a concern, though rural homes on private supplies may need their own filtering.
What rules apply to landlord and rental kitchens in Dunoon?
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.
Parts of Cowal lie within Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent.
Tips before you start
- Keep a spare door, a few plinth clips and some handles from the order in storage, ready for quick repairs between tenancies.
- Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
- Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for a Dunoon rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
- Plan fire safety in shared kitchens, such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket, as HMO licences commonly set these out.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Dunoon
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Dunoon?
Guide prices in Dunoon 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.
Which parts of Dunoon do you work in?
All of them. Our Argyll and Bute coverage takes in the whole of Dunoon, including the PA23 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Oban. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.
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.
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.
