Landlord and rental kitchens in Hampshire
Landlord and rental kitchens in Hampshire 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 Hampshire kitchen?
If you have bought a property in Hampshire to let and the kitchen is dated, replacing it before the first tenancy is far less disruptive than doing it later.
If a tenancy has left a Hampshire rental with a damaged worktop, swollen units or broken doors, a replacement can cost less over time than repeated repairs.
What do landlord and rental kitchens in Hampshire include?
After the survey visit we write the scope down. For landlord and rental kitchens in Hampshire it usually covers:

- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
- HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage

Kitchens in homes across Hampshire
The housing mix across Hampshire includes Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and thatched and brick cottages, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Terraces in Southampton and Portsmouth often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war estate houses tend to have a compact rectangular room suited to an L-shape.
Water across Hampshire is mostly hard, largely from chalk sources, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help. Dense terraced streets can be very tight for parking, and New Forest lanes and village roads may limit the size of delivery vehicle.
Terraced houses often have a small back kitchen behind the dining room, and owners frequently knock through to make one family space. Village cottages bring thick walls, low beams and sometimes a range cooker, all of which shape the layout.
Rules for landlord and rental kitchens in Hampshire
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.
Homes within the New Forest or South Downs national parks, listed cottages and conservation areas may need consent for a new extractor vent or alterations to historic features.
Before you start
- Laminate worktops, durable doors and a wipe-clean floor cost less to buy and are cheaper to put right after a tenancy.
- 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.
- Make sure extraction takes moisture outside where possible, because condensation and mould in a let kitchen can quickly turn into a repair problem.
- For an HMO, check your licence conditions and the council's HMO standards for numbers of sinks, cookers, worktop space and storage before ordering.
- Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
- Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Hampshire property is empty.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Hampshire
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Hampshire?
Landlord and rental kitchens in Hampshire typically cost £6,900 to £12,600 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the South East. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
Yes. We carry out landlord and rental kitchens across Hampshire, including Southampton, Portsmouth, Basingstoke and Gosport. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
