Landlord and rental kitchens in Wigan

Is landlord and rental kitchens right for your Wigan kitchen?

Shared houses across Greater Manchester often need larger kitchens with more storage, more worktop and extra cooking space, laid out around the conditions in the HMO licence.

If a tenancy has left a Wigan rental with a damaged worktop, swollen units or broken doors, a replacement can cost less over time than repeated repairs. We work throughout Wigan (WN1) and across the wider Greater Manchester area.

House types around Wigan and what they mean for a kitchen

In and around Wigan, homes range across Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, converted mill and warehouse flats and post-war estate houses. Two-up two-down terraces often have a small back kitchen or a galley in the rear outrigger, while 1930s semis usually have a separate kitchen beside the dining room.

Terraced streets with back alleys, city-centre flats with booked lifts and permit parking can all affect delivery timing and how long worktops are carried in. Mains water across Greater Manchester is mostly soft, so limescale is less of a problem and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Wigan

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.

Listed mill conversions and homes in conservation areas may need consent for new external vents, and apartment owners usually need the freeholder's or managing agent's consent.

Getting the most from your landlord and rental kitchens

Keep copies of every certificate and the kitchen specification in the property file, so a future repair can be matched exactly.
If your Wigan property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
Give your Wigan tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
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 Wigan

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Wigan?

For a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, budget around £5,700 to £10,400 including VAT in Wigan. That reflects typical costs in the North West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Do you cover all of Wigan?

Yes. We work across Wigan, including the WN1 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Hindley and Ashton-in-Makerfield. 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 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.

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.
