Landlord and rental kitchens in Perth

Why do people in Perth choose landlord and rental kitchens?

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

Landlords with rental flats in Perth often replace a kitchen between tenancies, when the property is empty and the work will not disturb anyone living there. We cover all of Perth, including the PH1 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Perth and Kinross.

Kitchens in homes around Perth

In and around Perth, homes range across sandstone tenement flats, Victorian villas, stone cottages and post-war council-built houses. 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.

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. Mains water across Perth and Kinross is soft, though some remote homes rely on private supplies that may need testing and filtering.

Regulations for kitchen work in Perth

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.

Tips before you start

Keep a spare door, a few plinth clips and some handles from the order in storage, ready for quick repairs between tenancies.
Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Perth and Kinross, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Perth property is empty.
Plan fire safety in shared kitchens, such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket, as HMO licences commonly set these out.

Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Perth

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Perth?

Guide prices in Perth 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 all of Perth?

Yes. We work across Perth, including the PH1 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Crieff and Glenrothes. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

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.

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.
