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. Landlords in Gosforth (NE2 and NE3) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have.

- Councils can fine up to £7,000 where a Category 1 hazard is not removed when it reasonably could have been.
