Kitchens in homes across Mid Glamorgan
You will find valley terraces, post-war council-built houses, seaside bungalows and new-build estates throughout Mid Glamorgan. Valley terraces often have a narrow kitchen in a rear extension, while post-war houses in towns such as Bridgend tend to have a compact room beside the dining area.
Soft water is usual across Mid Glamorgan, so limescale is less of a concern and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner. Steep valley streets and terraces built into hillsides can mean steps, tight turns and limited parking, so carrying long worktops is planned at the survey.
Many valley terraces have a long, narrow kitchen in the back extension, and owners often open it into the middle room for a kitchen-diner. Ex-council houses may need a full strip-out with new wiring, which is notifiable work.
Rules for landlord and rental kitchens in Mid Glamorgan
In Wales, extending an existing circuit within a kitchen is notifiable under Part P, so almost any new socket in a rental kitchen is certified through a competent person scheme or building control. Landlords in Wales also need periodic electrical inspections and annual gas safety checks, and gas connections are made only by Gas Safe registered engineers. HMO kitchens should follow the licence conditions and the council's HMO standards.
The northern fringe of the area falls within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas may need consent for new external vents.
Before you start
- Survey during the notice period where the tenant agrees, so the kitchen can be ordered in time to fit as soon as the property is empty.
- For an HMO, check your licence conditions and the council's HMO standards for numbers of sinks, cookers, worktop space and storage before ordering.
- Make sure extraction takes moisture outside where possible, because condensation and mould in a let kitchen can quickly turn into a repair problem.
- 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.
- If your Mid Glamorgan 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 Mid Glamorgan, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Mid Glamorgan
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Mid Glamorgan?
For a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, budget around £5,500 to £10,100 including VAT in Mid Glamorgan. That reflects typical costs in Wales; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Do you cover the whole of Mid Glamorgan?
Yes. We carry out landlord and rental kitchens across Mid Glamorgan, including Rhondda, Tonypandy, Bridgend and Merthyr Tydfil. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
What does an HMO kitchen need to include?
It depends on your licence. HMO licence conditions and the council's HMO standards usually set the number of sinks and cookers, the amount of worktop and storage for the number of occupiers, and fire safety such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket. Check your licence conditions before the design is finalised, and send them to us so the kitchen is laid out to meet them.
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.
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.
