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 Rhondda 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 Rhondda?
Bedroom upgrades and room refits in Rhondda 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.
- Council HMO standards and the fire risk assessment set detection, fire doors and escape routes.
- An electrical inspection and test at least every 5 years, with the report given to the contract-holder within 14 days.
