Landlord and rental kitchens in Nottingham

Why landlord and rental kitchens for a Nottingham home?

If you have bought a property in Nottinghamshire to let and the kitchen is dated, replacing it before the first tenancy is far less disruptive than doing it later.

Landlords with rental flats in Nottingham often replace a kitchen between tenancies, when the property is empty and the work will not disturb anyone living there. Kitchens in every part of Nottingham are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Nottinghamshire.

What is included in the work?

The exact scope is agreed after the survey, but a typical job in Nottingham covers:

Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme

Kitchens in homes around Nottingham

Typical homes in this part of Nottinghamshire include Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, former mining village houses and new-build estates. In Nottingham, Victorian terraces often have a narrow back kitchen, while 1930s semis and ex-council houses tend to have a compact rectangular kitchen at the rear.

Expect hard water across most of Nottinghamshire, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and an inline filter or softener can help. Inner-city terraces with permit parking and no rear access can make deliveries slow, and long worktops may have to come through a narrow hallway.

What rules apply to landlord and rental kitchens in Nottingham?

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.

Where a home is listed or in a conservation area, such as parts of Nottingham and Newark, a new external vent or changes to historic features may need consent.

Planning ahead

Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Nottinghamshire, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
Keep a spare door, a few plinth clips and some handles from the order in storage, ready for quick repairs between tenancies.
For an HMO, check your licence conditions and the council's HMO standards for numbers of sinks, cookers, worktop space and storage before ordering.

Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Nottingham

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Nottingham?

Guide prices in Nottingham are about £5,800 to £10,700 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.

Can you measure up in Nottingham before quoting?

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

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.

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.

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.
