Landlord and rental kitchens in Hawick

What prompts landlord and rental kitchens in Hawick?

If your family let in Hawick still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy. We cover all of Hawick, including the TD9 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across the Scottish Borders.

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Hawick homes

Typical homes in this part of the Scottish Borders include stone mill-town terraces, Victorian villas, farm cottages and post-war council-built houses. Stone terraces in Hawick and Galashiels often have a small kitchen at the back, while Victorian villas in Peebles and Kelso tend to have larger separate kitchens.

Rural roads and farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries, and older town centres may have limited parking, so delivery is planned in advance. The Scottish Borders generally have soft mains water, though rural homes on private supplies may need testing and filtering.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Hawick

In Scotland, a replacement kitchen in a let property does not normally need a building warrant, but electrical work must meet the building standards and BS 7671. 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, and only Gas Safe registered engineers may connect gas appliances. HMO licences set kitchen conditions, so check your licence and the council's HMO standards before the layout is planned.

Older Borders towns often have conservation areas and listed buildings, so a new external vent or changes to historic features may need consent.

Worth knowing before the fit

Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
Give your Hawick tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
If your Hawick property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
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 Hawick

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Hawick?

Guide prices in Hawick are about £5,600 to £10,300 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 work near Hawick as well?

Yes. As well as Hawick itself, we cover the rest of the Scottish Borders and nearby towns such as Galashiels and Kelso. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.

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.

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.
