Why Choose Us?
How Our HMO Refurbishment Process Works
We follow a structured, turnkey process designed to minimise your void periods and deliver a superior result. It begins with an initial consultation and appraisal where we assess the property layout to optimise room counts while maintaining comfort. Following this, we move to structural alterations and space reconfiguration, which often involves adding en-suites, creating communal spaces, or installing partition walls to meet room size requirements.
The next phase is the compliance fit-out. This is critical for any HMO and includes the installation of fire-rated doors, interlinked smoke alarms, emergency lighting, and enhanced soundproofing between rooms. We ensure every element meets Part B and Part E of the Building Regulations. Finally, we carry out the high-end finishing, including bespoke kitchen installations and durable decoration, ensuring the property is not only safe and compliant but also aesthetically appealing to the modern professional tenant.

The Benefits of Choosing Aline Construction
Choosing a partner who understands the nuances of multi-occupancy housing is essential for project success. Our team brings extensive experience in property investment upgrades, ensuring that your renovation delivers maximum ROI through reduced maintenance and high durability. We use high-quality, hard-wearing materials specifically selected for high-occupancy environments, reducing the need for constant repairs.
Our commitment to quality is backed by our professional accreditations, including NVQ Level 2 Bricklaying, Triple SDS, and Blue Skilled Worker CSCS cards. Because we are fully covered by Public Liability Insurance, you can be confident that your project is managed with total professionalism and rigorous safety standards. We bridge the gap between a standard house and a high-yield asset, providing you with a seamless and stress-free development journey.
Managing the legal requirements of an HMO can be complex, especially with local authorities like New Forest District Council and Southampton City Council. We provide expert guidance on Article 4 Directions, which can restrict permitted development rights in certain areas. Understanding whether your property requires a C4 use class or falls under Sui Generis is crucial, and we help you navigate these planning hurdles effectively.
Beyond planning, we ensure all works strictly adhere to the mandatory fire safety and building control standards. This includes:
Installation of FD30 or FD60 fire-rated doors with appropriate closers.
Fitting interlinked smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide alarm systems.
Ensuring egress windows and emergency lighting are installed where required.
Verifying that room sizes meet the specific amenity standards set by local councils for licensed HMOs.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Hmo Refurbishments in Totton Questions
Answers to common questions about our Hmo Refurbishments in Totton

Choosing the right builder is the most important decision you will make for your HMO project.

We don't use confusing jargon; we just provide honest advice and exceptional craftsmanship. We treat every project as if it were our own investment, making sure the finish is flawless and the build is rock solid.
Do I need a licence for an HMO in Totton?
In most cases, if you are renting to five or more people from more than one household, you will need a mandatory HMO licence. However, some areas in and around Southampton have "additional licensing" schemes that apply to smaller properties. We always recommend checking with the local council, and we can help you understand the physical requirements needed for that licence.
What are the minimum room sizes for an HMO?
UK law sets specific minimum sizes for bedrooms. A single room must be at least 6.51 square metres, and a double must be at least 10.22 square metres. Local councils in Hampshire sometimes have even stricter requirements, especially regarding ceiling heights and communal living space. We plan your layout to make sure every room exceeds these limits.
How long does a typical HMO renovation take?
A full refurbishment usually takes between 8 and 14 weeks, depending on the size of the house and the amount of structural work involved. Adding en-suites or a kitchen extension will add time, but it significantly increases the rental value. We provide a clear timeline before work starts so you can plan your tenant marketing.
Can you help with fire safety requirements?
Yes. Fire safety is a core part of our HMO service. we install FD30 fire doors, interconnected smoke and heat detectors, and fire-protected escape routes. Making sure these are installed correctly during the build phase is much cheaper than trying to fix them after a failed council inspection.
