Landlord and rental kitchens in Farnborough

Why landlord and rental kitchens for a Farnborough home?

Landlords with rental flats in Farnborough often replace a kitchen between tenancies, when the property is empty and the work will not disturb anyone living there.

Shared houses across Hampshire often need larger kitchens with more storage, more worktop and extra cooking space, laid out around the conditions in the HMO licence. We work throughout Farnborough (GU11) and across the wider Hampshire area.

House types around Farnborough and what they mean for a kitchen

Typical homes in this part of Hampshire include 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.

Dense terraced streets can be very tight for parking, and New Forest lanes and village roads may limit the size of delivery vehicle. 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.

Regulations for kitchen work in Farnborough

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.

Before you book landlord and rental kitchens in Farnborough

If your Farnborough property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for a Farnborough rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
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 Farnborough

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Farnborough?

For a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, budget around £6,900 to £12,600 including VAT in Farnborough. That reflects typical costs in the South East; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Do you cover all of Farnborough?

Yes. We work across Farnborough, including the GU11 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Camberley and Aldershot. 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.

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.
