Landlord and rental kitchens in Weymouth
We take on landlord and rental kitchens in Weymouth and the surrounding DT3 and DT4 postcodes, working to a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anyone starts.
Thinking about landlord and rental kitchens in Weymouth?
If you have bought a property in Dorset to let and the kitchen is dated, replacing it before the first tenancy is far less disruptive than doing it later.
Portfolio landlords in Weymouth sometimes standardise one durable kitchen specification across the properties they let, so doors, handles and parts are easy to match later. We cover all of Weymouth, including the DT3 and DT4 postcode districts, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Dorset.
What is in a typical job?
Your written quote lists everything included. For landlord and rental kitchens, that normally means:
- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
- New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
- Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use
- HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Weymouth?
Typical landlord and rental kitchens prices for homes in Weymouth, including VAT and adjusted for the South West. Your own figure depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and what is moving. For the South West, these ranges are close to the national figures.
| Typical project | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Small rental kitchen (flat or terrace), supplied and fittedHard-wearing units, laminate worktops, essential appliances | £6,200–£11,300 |
| Family let kitchen, supplied and fittedMore units and appliances, durable finishes | £9,300–£16,500 |
| Shared kitchen in an HMO, supplied and fittedLonger runs, extra storage, durable surfaces | £10,300–£20,500 |
Rental kitchen ranges include hard-wearing units, laminate worktops, essential appliances and fitting with connections to the existing layout; new circuits, moved services, flooring and tiling are quoted as separate lines where needed. Prices include VAT at 20%.
Fitting kitchens in older and newer Weymouth homes
You will find thatched cottages, Victorian and Edwardian villas, 1930s semis and seaside bungalows throughout Dorset. Edwardian villas in Bournemouth often have a separate kitchen and scullery, while 1930s semis and bungalows tend to have a compact room at the back.
Flats in converted villas may have no lift and shared hallways, and narrow village lanes can make delivering long worktops difficult. Most of Dorset has hard water, so limescale on taps, sinks and boiling water taps is common, and a scale-reducing filter can help.
Do you need approval for landlord and rental kitchens in Weymouth?
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.
Thatched and listed cottages may need listed building consent for internal changes, and owners of flats in converted houses usually need the freeholder's consent before work starts.
Planning ahead
- Choose a worktop with a slight pattern for a Weymouth rental, as plain very dark or very pale surfaces show marks and scratches sooner.
- Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
- Schedule the kitchen alongside other void-period jobs at your property in Dorset, such as decorating, so the home is ready to let in one go.
- 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 Weymouth
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Weymouth?
Landlord and rental kitchens in Weymouth 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.
Can you measure up in Weymouth before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Weymouth. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
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 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.
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.
