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 Flint (CH6) 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.

Which rules apply in Flint?
Bedroom upgrades and room refits in Flint must satisfy national law for Wales, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- England’s national room sizes do not apply in Wales; councils set their own room standards.
- Fitness for human habitation rules require mains-powered, interlinked smoke alarms on every storey and CO alarms where there is a gas, oil or solid-fuel appliance.
- An electrical inspection and test at least every 5 years, with the report given to the contract-holder within 14 days.
- Council HMO standards and the fire risk assessment set detection, fire doors and escape routes.
