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 Reigate, a town of about 22,000 people in Surrey, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.

Which rules apply in Reigate?
The rules below are the England-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Reigate before we price.
- National rules ask for an adequate number of bathrooms, WCs and basins and suitably located kitchens; numeric ratios are set by each council.
- Councils can fine up to £7,000 where a Category 1 hazard is not removed when it reasonably could have been.
- 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.
