Which rules apply in the North East?
Social landlords are commercial clients under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, so the full client duties apply. Where there is more than one contractor, the client appoints a principal designer and a principal contractor. A project must be notified to HSE if it lasts more than 30 working days with more than 20 workers on site at once, or exceeds 500 person-days.
What does it cost in the North East?
Our guide range for a kitchen in a replacement programme in the North East is £4,500–£9,000 per kitchen. That is the UK range of £5,000–£10,000 (derived from published totals) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 0.90 (VOA Rating Cost Guide 2026: 0.89–0.93); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.
How do we deliver it?
Programmes are planned street by street, so each resident sees one coordinated set of works rather than several contractors on different dates.
