An HMO kitchen refit designs and installs a shared kitchen with enough sinks, cookers, worktop, storage and fridge space for everyone in the house. Warrington is 15 miles south-west of Manchester. We price communal kitchen 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. Warrington has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
