Landlord and rental kitchens in Gwent
Landlord and rental kitchens in Gwent start with a free visit to measure up, then a written scope and quote before any work begins.
Is landlord and rental kitchens right for your Gwent kitchen?
If your family let in Gwent still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy.
If a tenancy has left a Gwent rental with a damaged worktop, swollen units or broken doors, a replacement can cost less over time than repeated repairs.

Kitchens in homes across Gwent
You will find valley terraces, Victorian villas, post-war council-built houses and new-build estates throughout Gwent. Valley terraces often have a small kitchen in the rear extension, while Victorian villas in Newport and post-war houses in Cwmbran tend to have a separate kitchen and dining room.
Water across most of Gwent is soft to moderately soft, which is kinder to taps, though some areas are harder, so check with your supplier. Steep valley streets, terraces with steps up to the door and limited parking can make carrying long worktops difficult, so access is checked at the survey.
Valley terraces often have the kitchen in a narrow back extension, so a galley layout with good storage usually works best. Owners of newer estate houses tend to want a straight replacement with integrated appliances and an island or peninsula.
Rules for landlord and rental kitchens in Gwent
In Wales, extending an existing circuit within a kitchen is notifiable under Part P, so almost any new socket in a rental kitchen is certified through a competent person scheme or building control. Landlords in Wales also need periodic electrical inspections and annual gas safety checks, and gas connections are made only by Gas Safe registered engineers. HMO kitchens should follow the licence conditions and the council's HMO standards.
The northern edge of Gwent falls within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas elsewhere may need consent for new external vents.
Before you start
- Make sure extraction takes moisture outside where possible, because condensation and mould in a let kitchen can quickly turn into a repair problem.
- Plan fire safety in shared kitchens, such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket, as HMO licences commonly set these out.
- For an HMO, check your licence conditions and the council's HMO standards for numbers of sinks, cookers, worktop space and storage before ordering.
- 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.
- Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
- Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for a Gwent rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Gwent
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Gwent?
Guide prices in Gwent are about £5,500 to £10,100 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 Gwent?
Yes. We carry out landlord and rental kitchens across Gwent, including Newport, Gwent, Cwmbran, Pontypool and Ebbw Vale. 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.
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.
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.
