Landlord and rental kitchens in South Yorkshire
Our landlord and rental kitchens work covers the whole of South Yorkshire, including Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster.
Is landlord and rental kitchens right for your South Yorkshire kitchen?
If a tenancy has left a South Yorkshire rental with a damaged worktop, swollen units or broken doors, a replacement can cost less over time than repeated repairs.
Portfolio landlords in South Yorkshire sometimes standardise one durable kitchen specification across the properties they let, so doors, handles and parts are easy to match later.

The figures below are guide prices for South Yorkshire, including VAT and adjusted for typical costs across Yorkshire and the Humber. The fixed price comes after we have measured up. Labour rates in Yorkshire and the Humber are generally lower than in London and the South East, so these ranges are a little below the national guide.

Kitchens in homes across South Yorkshire
Across South Yorkshire you will often find Victorian terraces, former pit village terraces, 1930s semis and post-war council-built houses, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Sheffield's Victorian terraces often have a small kitchen behind the living room, while 1930s semis and post-war houses tend to have a compact kitchen beside the dining room.
Hardness varies across South Yorkshire: Sheffield's supply is generally soft, while some eastern areas are harder, so check with your supplier before choosing a filter. Steep hillside streets and terraces with steps up to the front door can make carrying long worktops and tall units harder, so access is checked at the survey.
Knocking a small back kitchen through to the living room is a common way to make a kitchen-diner in a terrace. Pit-village terraces and ex-council houses often need a full strip-out with new wiring, more sockets and an asbestos check before older floor tiles or boards are lifted.
Rules for landlord and rental kitchens in South Yorkshire
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.
Parts of Sheffield and Barnsley lie within the Peak District National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas elsewhere may need consent for new external vents.
Before you start
- Survey during the notice period where the tenant agrees, so the kitchen can be ordered in time to fit as soon as the property is empty.
- For an HMO, check your licence conditions and the council's HMO standards for numbers of sinks, cookers, worktop space and storage before ordering.
- 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.
- Laminate worktops, durable doors and a wipe-clean floor cost less to buy and are cheaper to put right after a tenancy.
- Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in South Yorkshire, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
- If your South Yorkshire property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in South Yorkshire
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in South Yorkshire?
Guide prices in South Yorkshire are about £5,700 to £10,400 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 cover the whole of South Yorkshire?
Yes. We carry out landlord and rental kitchens across South Yorkshire, including Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
