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 Nottingham, a city of around 300,000 people, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards. With students as well as working sharers renting in Nottingham, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
