Landlord and rental kitchens in Roehampton

What prompts landlord and rental kitchens in Roehampton?

Landlords preparing a Roehampton property for the market sometimes renew the kitchen first, because it is one of the rooms prospective tenants judge most closely.

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. We work throughout Roehampton (SW15) and across the wider Greater London area.

Landlord and rental kitchens prices in Roehampton

Typical landlord and rental kitchens prices for homes in Roehampton, including VAT and adjusted for London. Your own figure depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and what is moving. Prices in London usually run above the national guide, mainly because labour and parking cost more.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Roehampton?

In and around Roehampton, homes range across Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis. 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.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Roehampton

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.

Worth knowing before the fit

Give your Roehampton tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
Keep a spare door, a few plinth clips and some handles from the order in storage, ready for quick repairs between tenancies.
Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Roehampton property is empty.
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.

Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Roehampton

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Roehampton?

Landlord and rental kitchens in Roehampton typically cost £7,800 to £14,300 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in London. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Which parts of Roehampton do you work in?

All of them. Our Greater London coverage takes in the whole of Roehampton, including the SW15 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Putney. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
