Furniture for HMO & student accommodation

Yes — it's made for exactly this. Robust A-grade board and metal fittings as standard, in finishes that take everyday wear and still present well.

Yes. We supply by the room and by the hundred, with one consistent finish across every room under the roof.

Because everything is made to order to a recorded spec, a replacement matches the rest of the room exactly — no odd-one-out.

Five units per design, which suits anything from a single HMO to a large student scheme. Pricing improves with volume.

Montalvi makes compact study-bedroom furniture to order, sized to the exact room rather than forced from a standard range, which is what makes tight HMO and PBSA rooms work. We can build a single or small-double bed with integrated under-bed drawers or a clear void for suitcase storage, a slim desk with a bookshelf or pedestal, and a wardrobe scaled to the recess — freestanding or fitted — so circulation space, radiators and window reveals are all designed around. Every piece is drawn to your millimetre dimensions in our own British workshops, so you get a usable, coordinated room rather than off-the-peg pieces that don't quite fit.

Yes — Montalvi builds to contract-grade specification as standard, which is what heavy-use HMO and student settings need. That means A-grade 18mm carcasses (15mm where appropriate), metal handles and metal fittings rather than plastic, and construction detailed to take repeated tenant changes, dragged drawers and slammed doors year after year. It is made to last rather than to a throwaway lifespan, and because everything is made to order we hold the spec on file so replacement runs match the originals.

Yes — Montalvi plans production and delivery around the PBSA and student-let summer turnaround, when hundreds of rooms need refurnishing in a tight window between move-out and September arrivals. Because everything is made to order, we agree the room specification and volumes well ahead and schedule manufacture to land inside your changeover period, with nationwide UK delivery that can be phased floor-by-floor or block-by-block and consolidated to suit your access. Talk to us early in the year so the build slot is reserved against your turnaround dates.

Montalvi builds to the relevant UK fire-safety standards for the setting, and on upholstered items such as headboards, bed bases or seating we can manufacture to contract standards including Crib 5 (BS 7177) on request — which is what HMO and student-block operators are usually asked to demonstrate. Case goods are built with fire safety to the applicable UK requirements including the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988. Specify the standard you need to satisfy for your building at enquiry stage and we will build the upholstered elements to match.

Yes — replicating one agreed room spec across dozens or hundreds of identical rooms is exactly how Montalvi is set up to work. We build a reference specification for the room — each piece, size, finish and fitting — approve it once, then manufacture the whole run to that same spec so every room is genuinely consistent rather than approximately similar. The stored specification also governs any later top-ups, so a room furnished in phase one and a room furnished in phase three still match.

Yes to both — Montalvi can produce entirely under your own brand, unbranded and blind-shipped, so furniture in a student block or managed HMO carries your operator identity rather than a maker's. On access, we can supply flat-pack for buildings with tight stairwells, narrow lift doors or no lift, or assembled where install teams prefer it, and deliveries can be consolidated or phased to the floors and dates you're working. Tell us the building's access constraints at enquiry so we specify pack format and delivery sequence accordingly.
