Landlord and rental kitchens in Northamptonshire
Homeowners and landlords across Northamptonshire can book us for landlord and rental kitchens: hard-wearing kitchens for rented homes and HMOs, fitted between tenancies to keep voids short.
Why landlord and rental kitchens for a Northamptonshire home?
If you have bought a property in Northamptonshire to let and the kitchen is dated, replacing it before the first tenancy is far less disruptive than doing it later.
If a tenancy has left a Northamptonshire rental with a damaged worktop, swollen units or broken doors, a replacement can cost less over time than repeated repairs.

Kitchens in homes across Northamptonshire
You will find ironstone cottages, Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and post-war new town houses throughout Northamptonshire. Victorian terraces in Northampton and Kettering often have a long galley behind the back room, while post-war houses in Corby tend to have a compact rectangular kitchen.
Water across Northamptonshire is hard, so limescale on taps, sinks and boiling water taps is likely, and a scale-reducing filter is worth considering. Terraced streets with on-street parking can make unloading slow, and village houses on narrow lanes may need a smaller delivery vehicle for long worktops.
Knocking through from a narrow galley to the dining room is a common way to gain space in a terrace. Ironstone village cottages tend to have uneven walls and low ceilings, which shape where tall units and extraction can go.
Rules for landlord and rental kitchens in Northamptonshire
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.
Listed ironstone cottages and homes in village conservation areas may need listed building consent or planning permission for new vents or changes to historic fabric.
Before you start
- Plan fire safety in shared kitchens, such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket, as HMO licences commonly set these out.
- Laminate worktops, durable doors and a wipe-clean floor cost less to buy and are cheaper to put right after a tenancy.
- 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.
- If your Northamptonshire property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
- Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Northamptonshire property is empty.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Northamptonshire
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Northamptonshire?
For a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, budget around £5,800 to £10,700 including VAT in Northamptonshire. That reflects typical costs in the East Midlands; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?
Yes. We carry out landlord and rental kitchens across Northamptonshire, including Northampton, Corby, Kettering and Wellingborough. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
