Landlord and rental kitchens in Wells
From the survey to handover, landlord and rental kitchens in Wells are run by us as one job, with the fitters and trades booked in the right order.
Why do people in Wells choose landlord and rental kitchens?
Portfolio landlords in Wells sometimes standardise one durable kitchen specification across the properties they let, so doors, handles and parts are easy to match later.
If your family let in Wells still has a kitchen that was old when the first tenant moved in, planning its replacement avoids a rushed one mid-tenancy. Kitchens in every part of Wells are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Somerset.

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Wells homes
Across Somerset you will often find Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, stone cottages and post-war estate houses, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Georgian townhouses in Bath often have kitchens at lower-ground level or in flats on upper floors, while Victorian terraces in Taunton and Yeovil tend to have a narrow back galley.
Somerset's mains water is mostly hard, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a filter or softener can help keep them working well. Steep streets and controlled parking in Bath, upper-floor flats without lifts and narrow village lanes can each make delivering worktops slower.
What rules apply to landlord and rental kitchens in Wells?
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.
Bath is a World Heritage city with many listed buildings, and homes in Exmoor National Park or conservation areas may need consent for new vents or internal changes.
Practical advice for Wells homeowners
- Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Somerset, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
- Order the new kitchen before the current tenancy ends, so the fitting can start as soon as your Wells property is empty.
- Keep a spare door, a few plinth clips and some handles from the order in storage, ready for quick repairs between tenancies.
- Make sure extraction takes moisture outside where possible, because condensation and mould in a let kitchen can quickly turn into a repair problem.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Wells
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Wells?
For a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, budget around £6,200 to £11,300 including VAT in Wells. That reflects typical costs in the South West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Do you work near Wells as well?
Yes. As well as Wells itself, we cover the rest of Somerset and nearby towns such as Shepton Mallet and Glastonbury. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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.
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.
