Landlord and rental kitchens in Falmouth
Landlord and rental kitchens in Falmouth start with a free survey visit: we measure up, check the walls, floor and service positions, and explain what the job involves before anything is priced.
What prompts landlord and rental kitchens in Falmouth?
If your family let in Falmouth still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy.
Landlords with rental flats in Falmouth often replace a kitchen between tenancies, when the property is empty and the work will not disturb anyone living there. We cover all of Falmouth, including the TR11 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Cornwall.
What does the job involve?
Your written quote lists everything included. For landlord and rental kitchens, that normally means:
- Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
- HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage
- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- 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

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Falmouth?
Across Cornwall you will often find granite and slate cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war bungalows and converted barns, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Older stone cottages often have a small, low-ceilinged kitchen with uneven walls, while post-war bungalows tend to have a square kitchen beside a separate dining area.
Mains water across most of Cornwall is soft, which is kinder to taps and appliances, so heavy limescale build-up is rarely a problem. Narrow lanes, steep harbour streets and cottages with no parking outside can make delivering long worktops tricky, so delivery day needs planning in advance.
Regulations for kitchen work in Falmouth
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.
Where a cottage is listed or sits in one of the many harbour-town conservation areas, consent may be needed before a new extractor vent is cut through an outside wall.
Getting the most from your landlord and rental kitchens
- Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
- Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Cornwall, 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.
- For an HMO, check your licence conditions and the council's HMO standards for numbers of sinks, cookers, worktop space and storage before ordering.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Falmouth
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Falmouth?
For a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, budget around £6,200 to £11,300 including VAT in Falmouth. That reflects typical costs in the South West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Which parts of Falmouth do you work in?
All of them. Our Cornwall coverage takes in the whole of Falmouth, including the TR11 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Truro. 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.
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.
