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. Edmonton is 9 miles north of London. We price bedroom upgrades and room refits there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for.

- BS 7671, the wiring standard, calls for arc fault detection devices in HMOs on new socket circuits, such as rewires and consumer unit changes.
