HMO & Multi-Unit Renovations
At Kingswood Decoration Services, we provide tailored HMO & multi-unit renovations, covering everything from full conversions to cosmetic updates. Our complete solutions improve safety, comfort, and profitability while meeting all local authority regulations. This page explains what’s involved in a successful HMO or multi-unit refurbishment, and why landlords, investors, and developers choose Kingswood.
What Is HMO & Multi-Unit Renovation? Specialist Upgrades for Shared Properties
HMO and multi-unit renovations are more complex than standard refurbishments. These properties must meet strict fire, safety, and amenity standards, as well as deliver a durable, low-maintenance finish suited to high footfall.
Common renovation needs include: fire safety compliance (fire doors, alarms, emergency lighting); room reconfigurations and partitions; kitchen and bathroom upgrades; electrical upgrades and certification; robust flooring and surface finishes; insulation and heating efficiency improvements.
Tailored to Property Strategy
Whether you are targeting students, young professionals, or family tenants, our HMO and multi-unit renovations are adapted to your investment goals. From high-end en-suites to practical shared spaces, Kingswood designs and delivers solutions that maximise rental yield and tenant appeal.
This type of renovation is ideal for:
- Landlords preparing properties for HMO licensing
- Investors converting properties into multiple lettable rooms
- Property owners upgrading outdated multi-unit blocks
- Developers maximising rental yields with compliant finishes
Our HMO & Multi-Unit Renovation Process
Step 1: Consultation & Compliance Planning
We begin with a detailed survey and consultation to understand your objectives. Our team assesses:
- Existing building condition
- Licensing requirements (mandatory and additional licensing)
- Fire risk and HHSRS (Housing Health and Safety Rating System) compliance
- Potential layout optimisations
We also help with design suggestions, material choices, and cost-efficient upgrades to balance compliance with profitability.
Step 2: Structural, Electrical and Safety Works
Once plans are agreed, Kingswood handles all critical works first, including:
- Fire door installation and compartmentation
- Mains-linked smoke and heat alarms
- Emergency lighting systems
- Full or partial rewiring
- Heating system upgrades and radiator installations
- Partition wall building and structural adaptations
Our experienced teams ensure that all renovations meet the requirements set by your local council and fire authority, helping to ensure swift licensing approval.
