A shared bathroom refit replaces worn or failing bathrooms in an HMO with hard-wearing, easy-clean ones: good extraction, waterproofing, thermostatic showers and finishes that stand up to several users a day. In Milton Keynes, a place of roughly 260,000 people in Buckinghamshire, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards. Milton Keynes has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
