Thinking about landlord and rental kitchens in Faringdon?

Portfolio landlords in Faringdon sometimes standardise one durable kitchen specification across the properties they let, so doors, handles and parts are easy to match later. Faringdon sits about 16 miles south-west of Oxford, and our Oxfordshire coverage takes in everything in between.

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Faringdon homes
You will find cotswold stone cottages, Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and new-build estates throughout Oxfordshire. Oxford's Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley in the back addition, while stone cottages in market towns and villages tend to have small, low-ceilinged kitchens.
Water across Oxfordshire is hard, so limescale on taps, kettles and boiling water taps is common, and a filter is worth planning in. City streets with permit parking and narrow village lanes can both slow deliveries, so parking and the carry route for worktops are checked at the survey.
Do you need approval for landlord and rental kitchens in Faringdon?
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.
Oxford's many listed buildings and conservation areas, along with Cotswold stone villages, may need consent before a new vent is cut or historic features are removed.
Planning ahead
- Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Faringdon property is empty.
- Give your Faringdon tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
- Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Oxfordshire, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
- 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 Faringdon
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Faringdon?
Landlord and rental kitchens in Faringdon 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.
Do you cover all of Faringdon?
Yes. We work across Faringdon, including the SN7 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Wantage and Witney. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.
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.
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.
