A full HMO refurbishment brings a tired or non-compliant shared house back up to standard in one project: strip-out, repairs, new kitchens and bathrooms, fire safety, electrics, heating, decoration and flooring. Landlords in Bargoed (CF81, CF82 and NP12) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have.
