Landlord and rental kitchens in Peckham

Who usually needs landlord and rental kitchens in Peckham?

If a tenancy has left a Peckham rental with a damaged worktop, swollen units or broken doors, a replacement can cost less over time than repeated repairs.

If your family let in Peckham still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy. If your home is in Peckham or close by in New Cross or Brockley, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.

What do landlord and rental kitchens in Peckham include?

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

Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage
Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use
Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant

House types around Peckham and what they mean for a kitchen

Typical homes in this part of Greater London include Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis. Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley beside the side return, while conversion flats and mansion blocks usually fit the kitchen into a small room or along one living-room wall.

London's mains water is hard, so limescale builds quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth planning in. Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Peckham

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.

Conservation areas are widespread across London, so a new extractor vent on a front wall may need permission, and leaseholders usually need the freeholder's written consent first.

Getting the most from your landlord and rental kitchens

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.
Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for a Peckham rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
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 Peckham

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Peckham?

Guide prices in Peckham are about £7,800 to £14,300 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 Peckham before quoting?

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

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.

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.
