Landlord and rental kitchens in Greenwich

What prompts landlord and rental kitchens in Greenwich?

If you have bought a property in Greater London to let and the kitchen is dated, replacing it before the first tenancy is far less disruptive than doing it later.

Landlords with rental flats in Greenwich often replace a kitchen between tenancies, when the property is empty and the work will not disturb anyone living there. We cover all of Greenwich, including the SE10 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Greater London.

What is included in the work?

Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:

New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage
Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation

What do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Greenwich?

Typical landlord and rental kitchens prices for homes in Greenwich, including VAT and adjusted for London. Your own figure depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and what is moving. Labour in London generally costs more than the UK average, which lifts these ranges a little.

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Greenwich homes

In and around Greenwich, homes range across Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis. 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.

Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day. 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.

Regulations for kitchen work in Greenwich

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.

Planning ahead

Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
Keep a spare door, a few plinth clips and some handles from the order in storage, ready for quick repairs between tenancies.
Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
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.

Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Greenwich

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Greenwich?

Landlord and rental kitchens in Greenwich typically cost £7,800 to £14,300 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in London. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Do you cover all of Greenwich?

Yes. We work across Greenwich, including the SE10 postcode district, and nearby towns such as New Cross and Blackheath. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

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.

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.
