Landlord and rental kitchens in Loughborough

Why do people in Loughborough choose landlord and rental kitchens?

If you have bought a property in Leicestershire to let and the kitchen is dated, replacing it before the first tenancy is far less disruptive than doing it later.

Landlords who live away from Leicestershire often need a contractor who can work with their letting agent on keys, access and regular progress updates during the work. We work throughout Loughborough (LE11) and across the wider Leicestershire area.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Loughborough?

In and around Loughborough, homes range across Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and new-build estates. Leicester's Victorian terraces often have a long galley behind the back room, while 1930s semis tend to have a small square kitchen with a door to the garden.

Densely parked terraced streets and homes without rear access can make unloading slow, so delivery times and the route for long worktops are worth agreeing early. Leicestershire's water is mostly moderately hard to hard, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is likely and a filter or softener can help.

What rules apply to landlord and rental kitchens in Loughborough?

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas, including some village centres and older parts of Leicester, may need consent for a new external vent or changes to historic features.

Tips before you start

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 Loughborough tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Loughborough property is empty.
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 Loughborough

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Loughborough?

Guide prices in Loughborough are about £5,800 to £10,700 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 Loughborough?

Yes. We work across Loughborough, including the LE11 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Coalville and Leicester. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

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.
