Landlord and rental kitchens in Okehampton

Why do people in Okehampton choose landlord and rental kitchens?

Portfolio landlords in Okehampton sometimes standardise one durable kitchen specification across the properties they let, so doors, handles and parts are easy to match later.

Landlords with rental flats in Okehampton often replace a kitchen between tenancies, when the property is empty and the work will not disturb anyone living there. Our Devon coverage reaches every part of Okehampton (EX20) and out towards Tavistock.

What does the job involve?

Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:

Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage
Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use
Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Okehampton homes

Across Devon you will often find cob and thatched cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war houses and flats and seaside bungalows, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Victorian terraces in Exeter and Torbay often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war houses and seaside bungalows usually have a square room that suits an L-shape.

Much of Devon has soft mains water, which is kind to taps and appliances, though some eastern parts are harder, so check with your supplier. Single-track lanes, steep town streets and cottages with no parking can make deliveries slow, so long worktops and tall units need a planned route into the house.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Okehampton

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.

Homes within Dartmoor or Exmoor national parks, listed thatched cottages and conservation areas may need consent before a new extractor vent goes through an outside wall.

Worth knowing before the fit

Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for an Okehampton rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
Give your Okehampton tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
If your Okehampton property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
Survey during the notice period where the tenant agrees, so the kitchen can be ordered in time to fit as soon as the property is empty.

Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Okehampton

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Okehampton?

Landlord and rental kitchens in Okehampton typically cost £6,200 to £11,300 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the South West. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Which parts of Okehampton do you work in?

All of them. Our Devon coverage takes in the whole of Okehampton, including the EX20 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Tavistock. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.

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.
