Landlord and rental kitchens in Oundle
Our landlord and rental kitchens service covers Oundle and nearby places such as Corby and Peterborough, with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote as the first step.
Is landlord and rental kitchens right for your Oundle kitchen?
If your family let in Oundle still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy.
If a tenancy has left an Oundle rental with a damaged worktop, swollen units or broken doors, a replacement can cost less over time than repeated repairs. If your home is in Oundle or close by in Corby or Peterborough, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.
What does the job involve?
Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
- Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
- HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Oundle?
Typical homes in this part of Northamptonshire include ironstone cottages, Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and post-war new town houses. 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.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Oundle
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.
Tips before you start
- Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Oundle property is empty.
- Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Northamptonshire, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
- Give your Oundle tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
- 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 Oundle
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Oundle?
Landlord and rental kitchens in Oundle typically cost £5,800 to £10,700 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the East Midlands. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Do you cover all of Oundle?
Yes. We work across Oundle, including the PE8 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Corby and Peterborough. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.
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.
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.
