Typical landlord and rental kitchens prices for homes in Tyne and Wear, including VAT and adjusted for the North East. Your own figure depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and what is moving. Labour rates in the North East are generally lower than in London and the South East, so these ranges are a little below the national guide.

Kitchens in homes across Tyne and Wear
The housing mix across Tyne and Wear includes tyneside flats, Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and post-war council-built houses, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Tyneside flats often have a narrow kitchen in the rear offshoot, while 1930s semis and ex-council houses tend to have a small square kitchen at the back.
Hardness varies across Tyne and Wear, from fairly soft around Newcastle to harder in parts of Sunderland, so check with your supplier before choosing a filter. Back lanes behind terraced streets can help deliveries, but upper Tyneside flats have their own internal stair, so long worktops need careful handling.
In an upper Tyneside flat, the kitchen often sits in a narrow offshoot, so planning a usable layout within that width is the main task. Terraces and semis frequently have a separate kitchen that owners open into the dining room.
Rules for landlord and rental kitchens in Tyne and Wear
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.
In conservation areas and listed buildings, such as parts of central Newcastle and Tynemouth, a new external vent or changes to historic features may need consent.
Before you start
- Laminate worktops, durable doors and a wipe-clean floor cost less to buy and are cheaper to put right after a tenancy.
- 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.
- Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for a Tyne and Wear rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
- Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Tyne and Wear
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Tyne and Wear?
Guide prices in Tyne and Wear are about £5,400 to £9,900 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 Tyne and Wear?
Yes. We carry out landlord and rental kitchens across Tyne and Wear, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, South Shields and Gateshead. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
