Landlord and rental kitchens in Wiltshire
If you need landlord and rental kitchens anywhere in Wiltshire, we survey the kitchen, agree the scope with you and book every trade through to handover.
Why landlord and rental kitchens for a Wiltshire home?
If you have bought a property in Wiltshire to let and the kitchen is dated, replacing it before the first tenancy is far less disruptive than doing it later.
Portfolio landlords in Wiltshire sometimes standardise one durable kitchen specification across the properties they let, so doors, handles and parts are easy to match later.
What do landlord and rental kitchens in Wiltshire include?
The exact scope is agreed after the survey, but a typical job in Wiltshire covers:
- Free survey visit, arranged with you, your agent or the outgoing tenant
- Hard-wearing units, laminate worktops and wipe-clean finishes specified for rental use
- Old kitchen stripped out, with gas capped and circuits made safe
- New kitchen fitted between tenancies to an agreed programme
- Electrical work tested and certified to BS 7671, with certificates handed over
- Gas hob or cooker connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Extraction planned to take moisture outside and help limit condensation
- HMO kitchens laid out around your licence conditions for sinks, cookers and storage

Kitchens in homes across Wiltshire
The housing mix across Wiltshire includes thatched and stone cottages, Victorian railway terraces, post-war estate houses and new-build estates, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Railway terraces in Swindon often have a narrow back kitchen, while stone and thatched cottages in the villages tend to have small kitchens with low ceilings.
Wiltshire's water is hard, much of it from chalk, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help. Village lanes and farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries, and Salisbury's historic centre has limited parking, so delivery is planned in advance.
Railway terraces often have a narrow galley that owners open into the dining room to make a family kitchen. In a thatched or stone cottage, uneven walls and floors usually mean careful scribing, and cooker extraction needs extra thought where a vent cannot easily go through a thick or listed wall.
Rules for landlord and rental kitchens in Wiltshire
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 thatched cottages, Salisbury's historic centre and other conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent or changes to historic features.
Before you start
- For an HMO, check your licence conditions and the council's HMO standards for numbers of sinks, cookers, worktop space and storage before ordering.
- Plan fire safety in shared kitchens, such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket, as HMO licences commonly set these out.
- Laminate worktops, durable doors and a wipe-clean floor cost less to buy and are cheaper to put right after a tenancy.
- Survey during the notice period where the tenant agrees, so the kitchen can be ordered in time to fit as soon as the 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.
- Give your Wiltshire tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in Wiltshire
How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in Wiltshire?
For a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, budget around £6,200 to £11,300 including VAT in Wiltshire. That reflects typical costs in the South West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?
Yes. We carry out landlord and rental kitchens across Wiltshire, including Swindon, Salisbury, Trowbridge and Chippenham. Every job starts with a free survey visit and 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 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.
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.
