An HMO kitchen refit designs and installs a shared kitchen with enough sinks, cookers, worktop, storage and fridge space for everyone in the house. Aberystwyth is 55 miles north of Swansea. We price communal kitchen refits there against Wales’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for. Aberystwyth has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
