HMO layout reconfiguration changes the internal plan of a shared house so the rooms, kitchens and bathrooms work together: moving or adding walls, splitting oversized rooms, merging undersized ones, or moving the kitchen off the escape route. For a house in Worksop we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately.
