Landlord and rental kitchens in Reigate

Why landlord and rental kitchens for a Reigate home?

If a tenancy has left a Reigate 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 Reigate 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 Reigate or close by in Redhill or Horley, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.

What does the job involve?

Your written quote lists everything included. For landlord and rental kitchens, that normally means:

Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Reigate?

You will find 1930s semis, Victorian and Edwardian villas, detached family houses and new-build estates throughout Surrey. 1930s semis often have a narrow kitchen beside the dining room, while larger detached houses and Edwardian villas may have room for an island or a separate utility.

Surrey's water is hard across most of the county, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a scale-reducing filter is worth considering. Private roads, long drives and village lanes can be awkward for large lorries, while town-centre flats may need lift bookings and parking permits for delivery day.

Regulations for kitchen work in Reigate

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 buildings and conservation areas in older towns and villages may need consent for new vents, and flats in managed blocks usually need the freeholder's consent first.

Getting the most from your landlord and rental kitchens

Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
Give your Reigate 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 Reigate 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 Reigate

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Reigate?

Guide prices in Reigate are about £6,900 to £12,600 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.

Which parts of Reigate do you work in?

All of them. Our Surrey coverage takes in the whole of Reigate, including the RH2 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Redhill. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.

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.
