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. Sheffield is 32 miles east of Manchester. 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. With students as well as working sharers renting in Sheffield, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
