Fitting kitchens in older and newer Newport, Gwent homes

You will find valley terraces, Victorian villas, post-war council-built houses and new-build estates throughout Gwent. Valley terraces often have a small kitchen in the rear extension, while Victorian villas in Newport and post-war houses in Cwmbran tend to have a separate kitchen and dining room.

Steep valley streets, terraces with steps up to the door and limited parking can make carrying long worktops difficult, so access is checked at the survey. Water across most of Gwent is soft to moderately soft, which is kinder to taps, though some areas are harder, so check with your supplier.

Regulations for kitchen work in Newport, Gwent

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 edge of Gwent falls within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas elsewhere may need consent for new external vents.

Planning ahead

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 Newport, Gwent 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 Newport, Gwent 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 Newport, Gwent

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Newport, Gwent?

Guide prices in Newport, Gwent are about £5,500 to £10,100 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 work near Newport, Gwent as well?

Yes. As well as Newport, Gwent itself, we cover the rest of Gwent and nearby towns such as Risca and Cwmbran. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.

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.

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.
