Landlord and rental kitchens in New Cross
Whether your New Cross kitchen is a narrow galley or an open-plan room, landlord and rental kitchens follow the same careful order: survey, written scope, fit and a final check together.
Who usually needs landlord and rental kitchens in New Cross?
If your family let in New Cross still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy.
Shared houses across Greater London often need larger kitchens with more storage, more worktop and extra cooking space, laid out around the conditions in the HMO licence. We work throughout New Cross (SE14) and across the wider Greater London area.
What is in a typical job?
The exact scope is agreed after the survey, but a typical job in New Cross covers:
- Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
- Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
- HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage
- Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use

Local homes and their kitchens
The housing mix across Greater London includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. 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.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in New Cross
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.
Before you book landlord and rental kitchens in New Cross
- Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for a New Cross rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
- Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your New Cross property is empty.
- Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
- 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 New Cross
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in New Cross?
For a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, budget around £7,800 to £14,300 including VAT in New Cross. That reflects typical costs in London; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Do you work near New Cross as well?
Yes. As well as New Cross itself, we cover the rest of Greater London and nearby towns such as Brockley and Greenwich. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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.
