Kent Traders — UK Hotel Supplies, Electrical Essentials, Bathroom Fittings & Fire Safety

There is no single legal number — but BS 7671, NHBC standards and HMO licensing conditions all point to specific minimums by room. Get them wrong on a rental refurb and you're looking at a compliance notice. This guide covers the numbers by room, the difference between new build and HMO rules, and why the standard minimums are already out of date for 2026.

BG Evolve Brushed Brass is the finish trade buyers keep reaching for on hotel rooms, HMO refurbs and high-spec residential jobs. The full range covers sockets, switches, USB and dimmer variants — all on a screwless flat plate, all BS EN compliant, all available at Kent Traders with auto-applied bulk discounts from 2 units up.

BS 1363 and BS 5733 compliant throughout. Includes real load limits, surge protection explained, and hotel room desk spec guidance. In stock at Kent Traders.
