Landlord and rental kitchens in Putney

Why landlord and rental kitchens for a Putney home?

Landlords who live away from Greater London often need a contractor who can work with their letting agent on keys, access and regular progress updates during the work.

Portfolio landlords in Putney sometimes standardise one durable kitchen specification across the properties they let, so doors, handles and parts are easy to match later. We cover all of Putney, including the SW15 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Greater London.

What does the job involve?

Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:

HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage
New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation

House types around Putney and what they mean for a kitchen

Across Greater London you will often find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis, and each shapes the kitchen differently. 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.

Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day. 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.

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

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.

Practical advice for Putney homeowners

Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Putney property is empty.
Give your Putney tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for a Putney rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
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 Putney

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Putney?

Guide prices in Putney 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.

Do you work near Putney as well?

Yes. As well as Putney itself, we cover the rest of Greater London and nearby towns such as Roehampton and Barnes. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.

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.

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.
