An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. Landlords in Rhondda (CF42 and CF43) 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 Rhondda?
Ensuite installation 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.
- Kitchen and bathroom ratios are set in each council’s HMO standards.
- Building regulations cover structural work, partitions, drainage, fire-resisting construction and electrics; confirm with building control whether the conversion is a material change of use.
- An electrical inspection and test at least every 5 years, with the report given to the contract-holder within 14 days.
