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. Canning Town is 6 miles east of London. We price shared bathroom and shower room refits there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for.

- Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
