Landlord and rental kitchens in New Malden

Why do people in New Malden choose landlord and rental kitchens?

If your family let in New Malden 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. Our Greater London coverage reaches every part of New Malden (KT3) and out towards Worcester Park.

Landlord and rental kitchens prices in New Malden

Typical landlord and rental kitchens prices for homes in New Malden, including VAT and adjusted for London. Your own figure depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and what is moving. Labour in London generally costs more than the UK average, which lifts these ranges a little.

Fitting kitchens in older and newer New Malden homes

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.

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. Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day.

What rules apply to landlord and rental kitchens in New Malden?

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.

Planning ahead

Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your New Malden property is empty.
Give your New Malden tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
If your New Malden property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
Laminate worktops, durable doors and a wipe-clean floor cost less to buy and are cheaper to put right after a tenancy.

Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in New Malden

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in New Malden?

Guide prices in New Malden are about £7,800 to £14,300 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.

Do you cover all of New Malden?

Yes. We work across New Malden, including the KT3 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Worcester Park and Surbiton. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

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.

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.
