Landlord and rental kitchens in West Ham
We take on landlord and rental kitchens in West Ham and the surrounding E13 postcodes, working to a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anyone starts.
Why do people in West Ham choose landlord and rental kitchens?
If a tenancy has left a West Ham rental with a damaged worktop, swollen units or broken doors, a replacement can cost less over time than repeated repairs.
Portfolio landlords in West Ham sometimes standardise one durable kitchen specification across the properties they let, so doors, handles and parts are easy to match later. We work throughout West Ham (E13) and across the wider Greater London area.

Local homes and their kitchens
Typical homes in this part of Greater London include Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis. 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 West Ham
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.
Tips before you start
- Give your West Ham tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
- Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Greater London, 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.
- Laminate worktops, durable doors and a wipe-clean floor cost less to buy and are cheaper to put right after a tenancy.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in West Ham
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in West Ham?
Guide prices in West Ham are about £7,800 to £14,300 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 work near West Ham as well?
Yes. As well as West Ham itself, we cover the rest of Greater London and nearby towns such as Stratford and Canning Town. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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.
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.
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.
