If you live in Stratford-upon-Avon and need landlord and rental kitchens, we can measure the room, send an itemised written quote and book every trade in the right order until the kitchen is handed over.
When do landlord and rental kitchens make sense in Stratford-upon-Avon?
Landlords preparing a Stratford-upon-Avon property for the market sometimes renew the kitchen first, because it is one of the rooms prospective tenants judge most closely.
If your family let in Stratford-upon-Avon still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy. Homes right across Stratford-upon-Avon are covered, as are nearby places such as Alcester, Warwick and the villages in between.

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Stratford-upon-Avon?
Typical landlord and rental kitchens prices for homes in Stratford-upon-Avon, including VAT and adjusted for the West Midlands. Your own figure depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and what is moving. For the West Midlands, these ranges are close to the national figures.
| Typical project | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Small rental kitchen (flat or terrace), supplied and fittedHard-wearing units, laminate worktops, essential appliances | £6,000–£11,000 |
| Family let kitchen, supplied and fittedMore units and appliances, durable finishes | £9,000–£16,000 |
| Shared kitchen in an HMO, supplied and fittedLonger runs, extra storage, durable surfaces | £10,000–£20,000 |

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Stratford-upon-Avon?
Typical homes in this part of Warwickshire include Regency townhouses, timber-framed cottages, Victorian terraces and 1930s semis. Victorian terraces in Nuneaton and Rugby often have a narrow back kitchen, while Regency townhouses in Leamington tend to have kitchens in former service rooms or flats.
Regency townhouses converted to flats may have no lift, and historic town centres can have restricted parking, so delivery needs arranging in advance. Water across Warwickshire is mostly hard, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a filter or softener can help.
Do you need approval for landlord and rental kitchens in Stratford-upon-Avon?
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.
Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick and Leamington Spa have many listed buildings and conservation areas, so new vents or internal changes may need listed building consent or planning permission.
Worth knowing before the fit
- Give your Stratford-upon-Avon 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 Stratford-upon-Avon rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
- If your Stratford-upon-Avon property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
- 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 Stratford-upon-Avon
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Stratford-upon-Avon?
Guide prices in Stratford-upon-Avon are about £6,000 to £11,000 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 Stratford-upon-Avon as well?
Yes. As well as Stratford-upon-Avon itself, we cover the rest of Warwickshire and nearby towns such as Alcester and Warwick. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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.
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 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.
