We take on landlord and rental kitchens in Ryde and the surrounding PO33 postcodes, working to a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anyone starts.
Thinking about landlord and rental kitchens in Ryde?
Landlords with rental flats in Ryde often replace a kitchen between tenancies, when the property is empty and the work will not disturb anyone living there.
Landlords who live away from the Isle of Wight often need a contractor who can work with their letting agent on keys, access and regular progress updates during the work. Kitchens in every part of Ryde are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.

- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer

House types around Ryde and what they mean for a kitchen
Across the Isle of Wight you will often find Victorian seaside villas, stone cottages, post-war bungalows and converted flats, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Victorian villas split into flats often have compact kitchens in former bedrooms, while bungalows and cottages tend to have small square kitchens at the back.
Kitchen units, worktops and appliances usually cross on the vehicle ferry, so delivery dates and crossing times need planning before the fit is booked. Mains water on the Isle of Wight is hard, so limescale on taps, kettles and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help.
Do you need approval for landlord and rental kitchens in Ryde?
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 the older island towns may need consent for a new external vent, and flat owners usually need the freeholder's written consent.
Practical advice for Ryde homeowners
- Give your Ryde tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
- Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
- Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
- 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 Ryde
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Ryde?
Guide prices in Ryde 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.
Do you work near Ryde as well?
Yes. As well as Ryde itself, we cover the rest of the Isle of Wight and nearby towns such as Sandown and Newport, Isle of Wight. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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.
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.
