HMO refurbishment in Worcestershire: what we do

We refurbish existing HMOs in Worcestershire 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 Worcestershire house are still let, we phase the work so tenants keep a working kitchen, bathroom and alarm system throughout. For landlords across Worcestershire, each job ends with updated certificates and photos ready to send to the council.

Room-by-room condition and compliance survey
Before and after photos and updated certificates
Phasing plan that keeps occupied rooms usable
Fire doors, alarms and escape routes brought up to standard
Kitchens, bathrooms, electrics and decoration renewed as agreed
