HMO Property Services in London

If you manage an HMO, you need building support that is reliable, quick to respond, and practical. Decorators Builders provides HMO property services in London, helping landlords, letting agents and property managers keep shared properties in good condition and ready for tenants.

HMOs typically experience heavier wear and tear than single-let homes. Communal areas, bathrooms and kitchens are used more often, and smaller issues can become larger problems if they’re not handled quickly. Our approach is structured: clear scope, tidy site management, and works that reduce repeat callouts.


HMO maintenance and repairs

Ongoing maintenance keeps HMOs compliant, presentable and easier to manage. We handle both reactive repairs and planned maintenance schedules.

Typical HMO maintenance includes:

  • General repairs and making good
  • Patch plastering and re-finishing
  • Door, hinge, lock and handle repairs
  • Joinery repairs and minor carpentry
  • Re-sealing and re-grouting in bathrooms and kitchens
  • Flooring repairs and replacement where required
  • Decorating touch-ups in high-traffic areas

If you manage multiple HMOs, we can support repeat works across the portfolio with a consistent standard.


HMO refurbishments and upgrade works

Refurbishment work is often needed to keep the property attractive to tenants and reduce ongoing maintenance issues. We deliver HMO refurbishment works that suit shared living environments, using practical finishes for durability and easier upkeep.

HMO refurbishment works can include:

  • Bedroom refresh works between tenants
  • Communal area upgrades (hallways, landings, lounges)
  • Kitchen refurbishment and practical layout improvements
  • Bathroom upgrades and ventilation improvements
  • Flooring upgrades for high-traffic areas
  • Plastering, painting and finishing carpentry
  • Full property refurbishments when required

If you already have a schedule of works, we can quote from your list. If not, we can review the property and recommend sensible priorities.


End-of-tenancy turnaround for HMOs

When a tenant leaves, speed matters. We help reduce void periods by completing works quickly and in a controlled sequence.

Turnaround works may include:

  • Repairs and making good
  • Decoration refresh and stain blocking where needed
  • Replacing damaged flooring or trims
  • Refreshing kitchens and bathrooms
  • Snagging and final checks before re-letting

We can work to your timeline and coordinate access with tenants, agents or building managers where required.


Common HMO problem areas we deal with

HMOs tend to have repeat issues in predictable areas. We often help with:

  • Worn communal flooring and damaged skirting
  • Bathroom sealing failures and recurring mould issues (where ventilation is poor)
  • Frequent redecoration needs in hallways and shared spaces
  • Doors, locks and latches needing adjustment due to heavy use
  • Kitchen wear-and-tear and making good around appliances

The goal is to fix things properly and reduce the same problems coming back every few months.
