House types around Shepton Mallet and what they mean for a kitchen
Typical homes in this part of Somerset include Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, stone cottages and post-war estate houses. Georgian townhouses in Bath often have kitchens at lower-ground level or in flats on upper floors, while Victorian terraces in Taunton and Yeovil tend to have a narrow back galley.
Somerset's mains water is mostly hard, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a filter or softener can help keep them working well. Steep streets and controlled parking in Bath, upper-floor flats without lifts and narrow village lanes can each make delivering worktops slower.
What rules apply to landlord and rental kitchens in Shepton Mallet?
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.
Bath is a World Heritage city with many listed buildings, and homes in Exmoor National Park or conservation areas may need consent for new vents or internal changes.
Planning ahead
- Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
- Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Shepton Mallet property is empty.
- Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for a Shepton Mallet rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
- Laminate worktops, durable doors and a wipe-clean floor cost less to buy and are cheaper to put right after a tenancy.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Shepton Mallet
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Shepton Mallet?
Landlord and rental kitchens in Shepton Mallet typically cost £6,200 to £11,300 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the South West. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Do you cover all of Shepton Mallet?
Yes. We work across Shepton Mallet, including the BA4 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Wells and Glastonbury. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.
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.
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.
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.
