Landlord and rental kitchens in Peterborough
Our landlord and rental kitchens service covers Peterborough and nearby places such as Stamford and Oundle, with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote as the first step.
Why landlord and rental kitchens for a Peterborough home?
Landlords with rental flats in Peterborough often replace a kitchen between tenancies, when the property is empty and the work will not disturb anyone living there.
If your family let in Peterborough still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy. We work throughout Peterborough (PE1) and across the wider Cambridgeshire area.
What do landlord and rental kitchens in Peterborough include?
Your written quote lists everything included. For landlord and rental kitchens, that normally means:
- Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
- Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
- New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Peterborough?
The figures below are guide prices for Peterborough, including VAT and adjusted for typical costs across the East of England. The fixed price comes after we have measured up. Labour in the East of England generally costs more than the UK average, which lifts these ranges a little.

| Family let kitchen, supplied and fittedMore units and appliances, durable finishes | £9,700–£17,300 |

Kitchens in homes around Peterborough
You will find Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and fenland bungalows and farmhouses throughout Cambridgeshire. Terraced houses in Cambridge and Peterborough often have a narrow galley at the back, while Fen bungalows tend to have a simple square kitchen beside the living room.
Fen roads and farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries, and city-centre terraces often have permit parking and no rear access for long worktops. Water across Cambridgeshire is very hard, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter or softener is worth thinking about.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Peterborough
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 houses in historic centres such as Cambridge and Ely may need consent for internal changes or a new vent, although a straightforward kitchen fit needs no planning permission.
Planning ahead
- If your Peterborough property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
- Give your Peterborough tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
- Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
- Make sure extraction takes moisture outside where possible, because condensation and mould in a let kitchen can quickly turn into a repair problem.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Peterborough
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Peterborough?
Landlord and rental kitchens in Peterborough typically cost £6,500 to £11,900 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the East of England. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Can you measure up in Peterborough before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Peterborough. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
