An HMO bedroom upgrade refits a letting room so it is more comfortable and easier to let: built-in storage, a proper desk space, better lighting and sockets, sound-reducing doors, durable flooring and fresh decoration. Landlords in Warrington (WA1, WA4 and WA55) 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. Warrington has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.

Which rules apply in Warrington?
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 Warrington before we price.
- Licensed HMOs must meet national minimum bedroom sizes: 6.51 m² for one person aged 10 or over, 10.22 m² for two, and 4.64 m² for a child under 10.
- Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (other than gas cookers) are required by law.
- BS 7671, the wiring standard, calls for arc fault detection devices in HMOs on new socket circuits, such as rewires and consumer unit changes.
- Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
