Landlord and rental kitchens in Surrey
Our landlord and rental kitchens work covers the whole of Surrey, including Woking, Guildford and Esher.
Thinking about landlord and rental kitchens in Surrey?
Landlords preparing a Surrey 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 Surrey often need a contractor who can work with their letting agent on keys, access and regular progress updates during the work.

Kitchens in homes across Surrey
You will find 1930s semis, Victorian and Edwardian villas, detached family houses and new-build estates throughout Surrey. 1930s semis often have a narrow kitchen beside the dining room, while larger detached houses and Edwardian villas may have room for an island or a separate utility.
Surrey's water is hard across most of the county, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a scale-reducing filter is worth considering. Private roads, long drives and village lanes can be awkward for large lorries, while town-centre flats may need lift bookings and parking permits for delivery day.
Joining the kitchen and dining room in a 1930s semi, often with a peninsula and seating, is a common project. Larger detached houses tend to suit a supply-and-fit kitchen with an island, a boiling water tap, a separate utility and lighting planned in zones.
Rules for landlord and rental kitchens in Surrey
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 older towns and villages may need consent for new vents, and flats in managed blocks usually need the freeholder's consent first.
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.
- Make sure extraction takes moisture outside where possible, because condensation and mould in a let kitchen can quickly turn into a repair problem.
- 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.
- Plan fire safety in shared kitchens, such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket, as HMO licences commonly set these out.
- Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
- Keep a spare door, a few plinth clips and some handles from the order in storage, ready for quick repairs between tenancies.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Surrey
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Surrey?
For a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, budget around £6,900 to £12,600 including VAT in Surrey. That reflects typical costs in the South East; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
Yes. We carry out landlord and rental kitchens across Surrey, including Woking, Guildford, Esher and Redhill. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
