Questions about full HMO refurbishment in Tredegar
Can you refurbish an HMO while tenants live there?
Sometimes, room by room, with the escape route kept clear and the fire alarm working at all times. For heavier work it is usually quicker and safer to do it with the house empty. We plan the phasing with you.

Yes. We work across Tredegar and the CF81, NP22, NP23 and NP24 postcode areas, plus the rest of Blaenau Gwent. Nearby places we also cover include Ebbw Vale, Brynmawr, Merthyr Tydfil.
Where do I check the HMO rules for an address in Tredegar?
