Landlord and rental kitchens in Oswestry
Landlord and rental kitchens in Oswestry start with a free survey visit: we measure up, check the walls, floor and service positions, and explain what the job involves before anything is priced.
Why do people in Oswestry choose landlord and rental kitchens?
Shared houses across Shropshire often need larger kitchens with more storage, more worktop and extra cooking space, laid out around the conditions in the HMO licence.
Portfolio landlords in Oswestry sometimes standardise one durable kitchen specification across the properties they let, so doors, handles and parts are easy to match later. Our Shropshire coverage reaches every part of Oswestry (SY11) and out towards Shrewsbury.
What is included in the work?
Here is what usually goes into landlord and rental kitchens, adjusted to your Oswestry kitchen after we have measured it:
- New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme

- Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use
- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
- Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Oswestry homes
In and around Oswestry, homes range across timber-framed cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war new town houses and farmhouses. Telford's new-town houses often have a compact galley or L-shaped kitchen, while older cottages in Shrewsbury and Ludlow may have small rooms with low beams.
Much of Shropshire has moderately hard to hard water, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is worth planning for; check with your supplier. Rural lanes, farm tracks and medieval town centres with restricted parking can all complicate deliveries, so vehicle size and timing are planned in advance.
Regulations for kitchen work in Oswestry
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.
Shrewsbury and Ludlow have many listed timber-framed buildings and conservation areas, so new vents or internal alterations may need listed building consent or planning permission.
Tips before you start
- Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Shropshire, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
- Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
- Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
- 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 Oswestry
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Oswestry?
Landlord and rental kitchens in Oswestry typically cost £6,000 to £11,000 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the West Midlands. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Can you measure up in Oswestry before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Oswestry. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
