Landlord and rental kitchens in Felling
We take on landlord and rental kitchens in Felling and the surrounding NE10 postcodes, working to a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anyone starts.
Who usually needs landlord and rental kitchens in Felling?
If a tenancy has left a Felling rental with a damaged worktop, swollen units or broken doors, a replacement can cost less over time than repeated repairs.
Portfolio landlords in Felling sometimes standardise one durable kitchen specification across the properties they let, so doors, handles and parts are easy to match later. We cover all of Felling, including the NE10 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Tyne and Wear.
What does the job involve?
After the survey visit we write the scope down. For landlord and rental kitchens in Felling it usually covers:
- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
- Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
- HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage
- Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use
- New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
- Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Felling?
Typical landlord and rental kitchens prices for homes in Felling, including VAT and adjusted for the North East. Your own figure depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and what is moving. Labour rates in the North East are generally lower than in London and the South East, so these ranges are a little below the national guide.
| Typical project | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Small rental kitchen (flat or terrace), supplied and fittedHard-wearing units, laminate worktops, essential appliances | £5,400–£9,900 |
| Family let kitchen, supplied and fittedMore units and appliances, durable finishes | £8,100–£14,400 |
| Shared kitchen in an HMO, supplied and fittedLonger runs, extra storage, durable surfaces | £9,000–£18,000 |
Rental kitchen ranges include hard-wearing units, laminate worktops, essential appliances and fitting with connections to the existing layout; new circuits, moved services, flooring and tiling are quoted as separate lines where needed. Prices include VAT at 20%.
Local homes and their kitchens
Across Tyne and Wear you will often find tyneside flats, Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and post-war council-built houses, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Tyneside flats often have a narrow kitchen in the rear offshoot, while 1930s semis and ex-council houses tend to have a small square kitchen at the back.
Back lanes behind terraced streets can help deliveries, but upper Tyneside flats have their own internal stair, so long worktops need careful handling. Hardness varies across Tyne and Wear, from fairly soft around Newcastle to harder in parts of Sunderland, so check with your supplier before choosing a filter.
Regulations for kitchen work in Felling
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.
In conservation areas and listed buildings, such as parts of central Newcastle and Tynemouth, a new external vent or changes to historic features may need consent.
Planning ahead
- 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.
- Give your Felling tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
- 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 Felling
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Felling?
Landlord and rental kitchens in Felling typically cost £5,400 to £9,900 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the North East. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Can you measure up in Felling before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Felling. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
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.
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 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.
