Thinking about landlord and rental kitchens in Forfar?
Landlords with rental flats in Forfar often replace a kitchen between tenancies, when the property is empty and the work will not disturb anyone living there.
If you have bought a property in Dundee and Angus to let and the kitchen is dated, replacing it before the first tenancy is far less disruptive than doing it later. Kitchens in every part of Forfar are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Dundee and Angus.
What is included in the work?

- New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
- Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer

Kitchens in homes around Forfar
You will find sandstone tenement flats, Victorian villas, post-war council-built houses and fishing town cottages throughout Dundee and Angus. Dundee's tenement flats often have a narrow kitchen or a box room off the hall, while villas in Broughty Ferry and the Angus towns tend to have larger separate kitchens.
Common stairs in tenements, steep streets in parts of Dundee and narrow glen roads in Angus can each affect deliveries and worktop lengths. Dundee and Angus have soft mains water, so limescale is rarely an issue and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay free of heavy scale.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Forfar
In Scotland, a replacement kitchen in a let property does not normally need a building warrant, but electrical work must meet the building standards and BS 7671. 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, and only Gas Safe registered engineers may connect gas appliances. HMO licences set kitchen conditions, so check your licence and the council's HMO standards before the layout is planned.
Consent may be needed for new vents on listed buildings and in conservation areas, and homes in the upper Angus glens fall within the Cairngorms National Park.
Practical advice for Forfar homeowners
- If your Forfar 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 Forfar rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
- Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
- Make sure extraction takes moisture outside where possible, because condensation and mould in a let kitchen can quickly turn into a repair problem.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Forfar
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Forfar?
Landlord and rental kitchens in Forfar typically cost £5,600 to £10,300 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in Scotland. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Which parts of Forfar do you work in?
All of them. Our Dundee and Angus coverage takes in the whole of Forfar, including the DD8 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Brechin. 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 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.
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.
