Landlord and rental kitchens in Hull

Who usually needs landlord and rental kitchens in Hull?

Shared houses across the East Riding of Yorkshire often need larger kitchens with more storage, more worktop and extra cooking space, laid out around the conditions in the HMO licence.

Landlords who live away from the East Riding of Yorkshire often need a contractor who can work with their letting agent on keys, access and regular progress updates during the work. We cover all of Hull, including the HU1, HU2, HU3, HU4, HU5 and HU8 postcode districts, and travel out to neighbouring towns across the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Guide prices for landlord and rental kitchens in Hull

These guide ranges include VAT at 20% and are adjusted for prices in Yorkshire and the Humber. We confirm your price in writing after a free survey visit. Labour rates in Yorkshire and the Humber are generally lower than in London and the South East, so these ranges are a little below the national guide.

Local homes and their kitchens

Typical homes in this part of the East Riding of Yorkshire include Victorian terraces, interwar semis, post-war council-built houses and coastal bungalows. Victorian terraces in Hull often have a long, narrow back kitchen, while coastal bungalows and interwar semis tend to have a squarer room that suits an L-shape.

Rural roads and farm tracks across the Wolds can be narrow for lorries, while terraced streets in Hull often have limited parking near the front door. Much of the East Riding draws on chalk groundwater and is hard, 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 Hull?

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.

Consent is rarely needed for a kitchen, though listed Georgian houses and conservation areas, such as the older parts of Beverley, may need it for a new street-facing vent.

Tips before you start

Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for a Hull rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
If your Hull property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in the East Riding of Yorkshire, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
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 Hull

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Hull?

Guide prices in Hull are about £5,700 to £10,400 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.

Which parts of Hull do you work in?

All of them. Our East Riding of Yorkshire coverage takes in the whole of Hull, including the HU1, HU2, HU3, HU4, HU5 and HU8 postcode districts, as well as surrounding towns such as Beverley. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
