Landlord and rental kitchens in Welling
We take on landlord and rental kitchens in Welling and the surrounding DA16 postcodes, working to a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anyone starts.
Is landlord and rental kitchens right for your Welling kitchen?
If a tenancy has left a Welling rental with a damaged worktop, swollen units or broken doors, a replacement can cost less over time than repeated repairs.
Shared houses across Greater London often need larger kitchens with more storage, more worktop and extra cooking space, laid out around the conditions in the HMO licence. We work throughout Welling (DA16) and across the wider Greater London area.
What does the job involve?
Your written quote lists everything included. For landlord and rental kitchens, that normally means:
- Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
- New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
- HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage

The figures below are guide prices for Welling, including VAT and adjusted for typical costs across London. The fixed price comes after we have measured up. Labour in London generally costs more than the UK average, which lifts these ranges a little.

| Family let kitchen, supplied and fittedMore units and appliances, durable finishes | £11,700–£21,000 |

Kitchens in homes around Welling
Across Greater London you will often find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley beside the side return, while conversion flats and mansion blocks usually fit the kitchen into a small room or along one living-room wall.
London's mains water is hard, so limescale builds quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth planning in. Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Welling
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.
Conservation areas are widespread across London, so a new extractor vent on a front wall may need permission, and leaseholders usually need the freeholder's written consent first.
Practical advice for Welling homeowners
- Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Welling property is empty.
- Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for a Welling rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
- Keep a spare door, a few plinth clips and some handles from the order in storage, ready for quick repairs between tenancies.
- 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 Welling
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Welling?
Landlord and rental kitchens in Welling typically cost £7,800 to £14,300 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in London. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Do you cover all of Welling?
Yes. We work across Welling, including the DA16 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Abbey Wood and Plumstead. 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.
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.
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.
