Landlord and rental kitchens in Fareham
We take on landlord and rental kitchens in Fareham and the surrounding PO16 postcodes, working to a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anyone starts.
Who usually needs landlord and rental kitchens in Fareham?
If a tenancy has left a Fareham rental with a damaged worktop, swollen units or broken doors, a replacement can cost less over time than repeated repairs.
Landlords with rental flats in Fareham often replace a kitchen between tenancies, when the property is empty and the work will not disturb anyone living there. We work throughout Fareham (PO16) and across the wider Hampshire area.
What is included in the work?
Here is what usually goes into landlord and rental kitchens, adjusted to your Fareham kitchen after we have measured it:
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
- Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
- New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
- Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
- HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage

Kitchens in homes around Fareham
In and around Fareham, homes range across Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and thatched and brick cottages. Terraces in Southampton and Portsmouth often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war estate houses tend to have a compact rectangular room suited to an L-shape.
Water across Hampshire is mostly hard, largely from chalk sources, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help. Dense terraced streets can be very tight for parking, and New Forest lanes and village roads may limit the size of delivery vehicle.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Fareham
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 within the New Forest or South Downs national parks, listed cottages and conservation areas may need consent for a new extractor vent or alterations to historic features.
Worth knowing before the fit
- Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Fareham property is empty.
- Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Hampshire, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
- 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 Fareham
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Fareham?
Landlord and rental kitchens in Fareham typically cost £6,900 to £12,600 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the South East. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Which parts of Fareham do you work in?
All of them. Our Hampshire coverage takes in the whole of Fareham, including the PO16 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Gosport. 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.
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.
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.
