Landlord and rental kitchens in Telford

Why do people in Telford choose landlord and rental kitchens?

Landlords with rental flats in Telford often replace a kitchen between tenancies, when the property is empty and the work will not disturb anyone living there.

If you have bought a property in Shropshire to let and the kitchen is dated, replacing it before the first tenancy is far less disruptive than doing it later. We cover all of Telford, including the TF3 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Shropshire.

House types around Telford and what they mean for a kitchen

The housing mix across Shropshire includes timber-framed cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war new town houses and farmhouses, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Telford's new-town houses often have a compact galley or L-shaped kitchen, while older cottages in Shrewsbury and Ludlow may have small rooms with low beams.

Rural lanes, farm tracks and medieval town centres with restricted parking can all complicate deliveries, so vehicle size and timing are planned in advance. Much of Shropshire has moderately hard to hard water, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is worth planning for; check with your supplier.

Do you need approval for landlord and rental kitchens in Telford?

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.

Shrewsbury and Ludlow have many listed timber-framed buildings and conservation areas, so new vents or internal alterations may need listed building consent or planning permission.

Before you book landlord and rental kitchens in Telford

If your Telford property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Shropshire, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
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 Telford

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Telford?

Landlord and rental kitchens in Telford typically cost £6,000 to £11,000 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the West Midlands. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Do you cover all of Telford?

Yes. We work across Telford, including the TF3 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Wellington and Bridgnorth. 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.

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.

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.
