Landlord and rental kitchens in Havant
We take on landlord and rental kitchens in Havant and the surrounding PO9 postcodes, working to a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anyone starts.
When do landlord and rental kitchens make sense in Havant?
Landlords preparing a Havant property for the market sometimes renew the kitchen first, because it is one of the rooms prospective tenants judge most closely.
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. Homes right across Havant are covered, as are nearby places such as Emsworth, Waterlooville and the villages in between.
What does the job involve?
Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:
- Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
- New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
- Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Havant?
Typical homes in this part of Hampshire include Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and thatched and brick cottages. 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.
Dense terraced streets can be very tight for parking, and New Forest lanes and village roads may limit the size of delivery vehicle. 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.
Do you need approval for landlord and rental kitchens in Havant?
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 book landlord and rental kitchens in Havant
- Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Hampshire, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
- If your Havant property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
- Keep a spare door, a few plinth clips and some handles from the order in storage, ready for quick repairs between tenancies.
- Plan fire safety in shared kitchens, such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket, as HMO licences commonly set these out.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Havant
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Havant?
Guide prices in Havant are about £6,900 to £12,600 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 all of Havant?
Yes. We work across Havant, including the PO9 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Emsworth and Waterlooville. 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.
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.
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.
