Landlord and rental kitchens in Greater London

Why do people in Greater London choose landlord and rental kitchens?

Landlords who live away from Greater London often need a contractor who can work with their letting agent on keys, access and regular progress updates during the work.

If your family let in Greater London still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy.

Kitchens in homes across Greater London

Across Greater London you will often find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley beside the side return, while conversion flats and mansion blocks usually fit the kitchen into a small room or along one living-room wall.

London's mains water is hard, so limescale builds quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth planning in. Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day.

Opening a narrow galley into the dining room or side return is one of the most common terrace projects in London. Leasehold flats often call for a full kitchen in a small space, worked around building rules on noise, working hours and waste.

Rules for landlord and rental kitchens in Greater London

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.

Conservation areas are widespread across London, so a new extractor vent on a front wall may need permission, and leaseholders usually need the freeholder's written consent first.

Before you start

Plan fire safety in shared kitchens, such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket, as HMO licences commonly set these out.
Pick a door style and colour from a range likely to stay available, so one damaged door can be replaced without changing the whole kitchen.
Laminate worktops, durable doors and a wipe-clean floor cost less to buy and are cheaper to put right after a tenancy.
Survey during the notice period where the tenant agrees, so the kitchen can be ordered in time to fit as soon as the property is empty.
If your Greater London property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Greater London property is empty.

Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Greater London

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Greater London?

Guide prices in Greater London are about £7,800 to £14,300 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

Yes. We carry out landlord and rental kitchens across Greater London, including Brent, Islington, Westminster and Bexley. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.

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.

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.

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.
