Thinking about landlord and rental kitchens in Perth and Kinross?
If your family let in Perth and Kinross still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy.
Landlords preparing a Perth and Kinross property for the market sometimes renew the kitchen first, because it is one of the rooms prospective tenants judge most closely.

Kitchens in homes across Perth and Kinross
The housing mix across Perth and Kinross includes sandstone tenement flats, Victorian villas, stone cottages and post-war council-built houses, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Victorian villas in Perth and Crieff often have a separate kitchen and former scullery, while tenement flats tend to have a small kitchen off the hall.
Mains water across Perth and Kinross is soft, though some remote homes rely on private supplies that may need testing and filtering. Highland Perthshire roads can be narrow and winding, and older town streets may have limited parking, so delivery vehicle size and timing are planned ahead.
Joining a villa kitchen and old scullery into one room is a common project, with a building warrant needed if a load-bearing wall is involved. Rural cottages are often off the gas grid and suit induction cooking or an oil-fired range.
Rules for landlord and rental kitchens in Perth and Kinross
In Scotland, a replacement kitchen in a let property does not normally need a building warrant, but electrical work must meet the building standards and BS 7671. 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, and only Gas Safe registered engineers may connect gas appliances. HMO licences set kitchen conditions, so check your licence and the council's HMO standards before the layout is planned.
Parts of highland Perthshire lie within the Cairngorms or Loch Lomond and The Trossachs national parks, and listed buildings elsewhere may need consent for new vents.
Before you start
- 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.
- Plan fire safety in shared kitchens, such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket, as HMO licences commonly set these out.
- For an HMO, check your licence conditions and the council's HMO standards for numbers of sinks, cookers, worktop space and storage before ordering.
- Make sure extraction takes moisture outside where possible, because condensation and mould in a let kitchen can quickly turn into a repair problem.
- Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Perth and Kinross property is empty.
- Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Perth and Kinross
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Perth and Kinross?
Guide prices in Perth and Kinross are about £5,600 to £10,300 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.
Do you cover the whole of Perth and Kinross?
Yes. We carry out landlord and rental kitchens across Perth and Kinross, including Perth and Crieff. Every job starts with a free survey visit and 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.
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.
