Why do people in Tiverton choose landlord and rental kitchens?
Landlords who live away from Devon often need a contractor who can work with their letting agent on keys, access and regular progress updates during the work.
Landlords with rental flats in Tiverton often replace a kitchen between tenancies, when the property is empty and the work will not disturb anyone living there. Homes right across Tiverton are covered, as are nearby places such as Exeter, Honiton and the villages in between.

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Tiverton homes
Typical homes in this part of Devon include cob and thatched cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war houses and flats and seaside bungalows. Victorian terraces in Exeter and Torbay often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war houses and seaside bungalows usually have a square room that suits an L-shape.
Single-track lanes, steep town streets and cottages with no parking can make deliveries slow, so long worktops and tall units need a planned route into the house. Much of Devon has soft mains water, which is kind to taps and appliances, though some eastern parts are harder, so check with your supplier.
What rules apply to landlord and rental kitchens in Tiverton?
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.
Homes within Dartmoor or Exmoor national parks, listed thatched cottages and conservation areas may need consent before a new extractor vent goes through an outside wall.
Worth knowing before the fit
- Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
- Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Devon, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
- Give your Tiverton tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
- 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 Tiverton
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Tiverton?
Landlord and rental kitchens in Tiverton 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 Tiverton?
Yes. We work across Tiverton, including the EX16 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Exeter and Honiton. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.
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.
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.
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.
