What does a social housing kitchen replacement include?

A kitchen replacement removes the old units, worktops, sink and appliances, then fits a new kitchen to the landlord's specification. Depending on the scope, that can include gas alterations, new flooring, tiling, extraction and redecoration. We work to your specification and component lists, whether it's a single property or a planned programme across a whole estate.

Why landlords replace kitchens

Most of the kitchen work we price comes from one of these:

The kitchen has reached the end of its life under the Decent Homes Standard

A stock condition survey has flagged it as poor or unsafe

Tenant complaints or disrepair claims about the existing kitchen

The layout or space no longer meets the resident's needs

An empty property needs a new kitchen before it can be re-let

Why housing providers choose us

Here's what you get when we deliver your kitchen programme:

One contractor for strip-out, joinery, gas, tiling and making good

Gas Safe registered engineers for every disconnection and reconnection

A named point of contact for each programme, so you're never chasing updates

Floor protection and dust control to protect residents' homes

Retrofit expertise in-house, so kitchens can be combined with energy upgrades

  • Cavity wall insulation
    After receiving a letter from Northern Retrofit informing me of the government scheme to improve insulation and that it was a free service, I was initially sceptic but decided to look into it further and, after a very pleasant phone conversation, I was assured it was ‘legit’ and went ahead with arranging cavity wall insulation which was carried out efficiently by a couple of very pleasant workers who made sure I had everything in place to keep my property sufficiently insulated also checking whether or not I needed ventilation/extractor fans which they were only too pleased to supply and fit at zero cost to me! Excellent service and I would not hesitate to recommend Northern Retrofit.

  • Room in roof insulation
    From initial contact to completion, the room-in-roof work done by Northern Retrofit on my house was completed to my total satisfaction. The workforce was efficient, friendly, and cooperative throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend this company to anyone considering similar work. One point to note is that, as with any plastering work, dust can get into the air, so it’s important to adequately cover furniture and belongings beforehand.

Work undertaken was to a high standard. Friendly, reliable and efficient staff who kept us fully informed at all times.

  • Cavity wall insulation
    Free cavity wall insulation and extractor fan in bathroom fitted quickly and professionally. Small leakage of beads in the cellar which they came back and sorted the same day I rang. No complaints whatsoever, rare to get a worthwhile service for free! Thank you

  • Cavity wall extraction
    First class service from Northern Retrofit. We had our old cavity wall insulation taken out, and replaced with new. We were happy from start to finish, and found them to be both friendly and efficient. A special thanks must be given to Lucy in the office, and Kelby and Elliott who carried out the work. We are very happy with the result, it has made the house so much warmer. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work in occupied homes?

Yes. Most planned kitchen replacements happen with the resident at home. We agree access in advance, protect floors and furnishings, and keep the kitchen out of action for as short a time as possible.

Can you work to our specification and suppliers?

Yes. We install to your specification and component lists, including framework or nominated suppliers where you use them.

How often should a social housing kitchen be replaced?

Under the current Decent Homes Standard, a kitchen is generally treated as due for replacement at 20 years old, although its condition, layout and space also count. Many landlords plan replacements from stock condition data rather than age alone.

Do you work for main contractors?

Yes. We work directly for councils and housing associations, and as a delivery partner to tier one contractors on larger programmes.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East and West Midlands, the East of England and Wales, from our head offices in Beverley and Warrington.

Can building works be combined with energy upgrades?

Yes. Because we also deliver insulation, heat pumps and solar, we can plan internal works and retrofit measures in the same home together. That means less disruption for residents and one mobilisation instead of two.
