HMO Conversion kitchen & bathroom upgrades — Aberdare (CF44)

mixed — original structure plus stud-partitioning added for room subdivision. Access is a constant negotiation with 4+ tenants; every visit is planned around a compressed window.

Most HMO properties across Aberdare were conversion-era rewiring 2000s–now; interlinked alarms and emergency lighting almost always retrofitted. That single fact drives the kitchen & bathroom upgrades conversation more than any brochure spec ever does — we're inheriting a wiring generation, not starting from scratch.

The quote we send is calibrated to that inheritance: what's testable, what needs remedial work, what's genuinely fine as it stands. No wholesale "modernise everything" pitch when the existing installation is sound.

What to expect

  1. 01

    Photo or on-site survey

    Focus on the hallway or kitchen, the distribution board location, and the intended cable route. Usually 15–30 minutes on-site or a short photo set.

  2. 02

    Written fixed quote

    Priced against your HMO's specific construction, not a template. Route sketched, materials listed, no line-item surprises.

  3. 03

    Booked around access

    Diary planned for the access constraint that matters on this stock — access is a constant negotiation with 4+ tenants; every visit is planned around a compressed window.

  4. 04

    Certificate + evidence pack

    NICEIC certificate, photo evidence of hidden work, Part P where applicable — all emailed the evening the job signs off.

What we build into every quote

  • Certificate at the end, delivered the same evening, in the format your next EICR or agent will expect.
  • Materials matched to the stock: RCBO-per-circuit CU so one tenant fault doesn't kill the house, plus BS 5839-6 Grade D interlinked alarms.
  • Cable routing planned around mixed — original structure plus stud-partitioning added for room subdivision — no chasing walls that don't take a chase, no mid-job "we couldn't get through".
  • Common HMO findings we flag before quoting: communal-area lighting on a shared circuit with an individual room — a licence-fail issue.
