Landlord and rental kitchens in Ilfracombe

Thinking about landlord and rental kitchens in Ilfracombe?

If a tenancy has left an Ilfracombe rental with a damaged worktop, swollen units or broken doors, a replacement can cost less over time than repeated repairs.

Landlords who live away from Devon 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 Ilfracombe, including the EX34 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Devon.

Kitchens in homes around Ilfracombe

The housing mix across Devon includes cob and thatched cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war houses and flats and seaside bungalows, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Victorian terraces in Exeter and Torbay often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war houses and seaside bungalows usually have a square room that suits an L-shape.

Single-track lanes, steep town streets and cottages with no parking can make deliveries slow, so long worktops and tall units need a planned route into the house. Much of Devon has soft mains water, which is kind to taps and appliances, though some eastern parts are harder, so check with your supplier.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Ilfracombe

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 Dartmoor or Exmoor national parks, listed thatched cottages and conservation areas may need consent before a new extractor vent goes through an outside wall.

Planning ahead

Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Devon, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
Give your Ilfracombe tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
If your Ilfracombe 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 Ilfracombe

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Ilfracombe?

Guide prices in Ilfracombe are about £6,200 to £11,300 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.

Which parts of Ilfracombe do you work in?

All of them. Our Devon coverage takes in the whole of Ilfracombe, including the EX34 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Barnstaple. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
