HMO refurbishment in Leek: what we do
We refurbish existing HMOs in Leek that have fallen behind current standards, whether the prompt is a licence renewal, a council inspection or rooms that have become hard to let. The survey splits the work into safety, licence and optional items so the priorities are clear.
Where rooms in a Leek house are still let, we phase the work so tenants keep a working kitchen, bathroom and alarm system throughout. For landlords across Staffordshire, each job ends with updated certificates and photos ready to send to the council.
- Fire doors, alarms and escape routes brought up to standard
- Before and after photos and updated certificates
- Kitchens, bathrooms, electrics and decoration renewed as agreed
- Room-by-room condition and compliance survey
- Phasing plan that keeps occupied rooms usable
