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 Port Glasgow we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately.

Which rules apply in Port Glasgow?
Bedroom upgrades and room refits in Port Glasgow must satisfy national law for Scotland, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Room sizes are set by each council; East Lothian, for example, uses 6.5 m² for a single room with a shared lounge and kitchen, and 10 m² without.
- Councils set HMO fire standards through licence conditions, often including emergency lighting in larger HMOs.
- An EICR before the first let and at least every 5 years, with C1 and C2 items fixed, PAT testing of supplied appliances and RCD protection.
