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. For a house in Banbridge we start with a measured survey, check the NI HMO standards and licence conditions for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately.

Which rules apply in Banbridge?
Here is what usually applies to a Banbridge job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the NI HMO standards and licence conditions have the final detail.
- Space and amenity standards come from the HMO (Living Accommodation Standard) Regulations (NI) 2019 and the licence conditions.
- The NIFRS HMO Fire Safety Guide (July 2026) usually expects Grade D1 interlinked detection in smaller shared houses and a Grade A system with more than 6 occupants or over 200 m².
- HMO licence conditions require a satisfactory EICR at least every 5 years.
- Doors on protected routes are typically FD30 or FD30S, self-closing on three hinges; emergency lighting is required in HMOs of 4 or more storeys.
