An HMO kitchen refit designs and installs a shared kitchen with enough sinks, cookers, worktop, storage and fridge space for everyone in the house. Landlords in Loughborough (LE11 and LE12) 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. Loughborough has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
