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 Cirencester, a town of about 20,000 people in Gloucestershire, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.

Which rules apply in Cirencester?
Shared bathroom and shower room refits in Cirencester must satisfy national law for England, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
- Councils assess hazards, including damp, mould and fire, under the HHSRS; revised regulations and guidance applied from 23 June 2026.
- Electrical installations must be inspected and tested at least every 5 years; remedial work is due within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so.
- Councils can fine up to £7,000 where a Category 1 hazard is not removed when it reasonably could have been.
