Landlord and rental kitchens in Mitcham

Is landlord and rental kitchens right for your Mitcham kitchen?

If your family let in Mitcham still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy.

If a tenancy has left a Mitcham rental with a damaged worktop, swollen units or broken doors, a replacement can cost less over time than repeated repairs. Kitchens in every part of Mitcham are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Greater London.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Mitcham?

Across Greater London you will often find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley beside the side return, while conversion flats and mansion blocks usually fit the kitchen into a small room or along one living-room wall.

Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day. London's mains water is hard, so limescale builds quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth planning in.

What rules apply to landlord and rental kitchens in Mitcham?

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.

Conservation areas are widespread across London, so a new extractor vent on a front wall may need permission, and leaseholders usually need the freeholder's written consent first.

Getting the most from your landlord and rental kitchens

Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for a Mitcham rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
If your Mitcham property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
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.

Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Mitcham

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Mitcham?

Landlord and rental kitchens in Mitcham typically cost £7,800 to £14,300 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in London. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Can you measure up in Mitcham before quoting?

Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Mitcham. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send 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.

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.
