Landlord and rental kitchens in Paignton

Why do people in Paignton choose landlord and rental kitchens?

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

Shared houses across Devon often need larger kitchens with more storage, more worktop and extra cooking space, laid out around the conditions in the HMO licence. We cover all of Paignton, including the TQ3 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Devon.

Kitchens in homes around Paignton

You will find cob and thatched cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war houses and flats and seaside bungalows throughout Devon. 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.

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. 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.

Do you need approval for landlord and rental kitchens in Paignton?

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.

Tips before you start

Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Paignton property is empty.
Give your Paignton tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
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 Paignton

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Paignton?

For a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, budget around £6,200 to £11,300 including VAT in Paignton. That reflects typical costs in the South West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Which parts of Paignton do you work in?

All of them. Our Devon coverage takes in the whole of Paignton, including the TQ3 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Torquay. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.
