Further to what Eugene Maguin said, I think that you should report results both as means and totals per room and per house/flat as appropriate.  Arguably, a combined kitchen/living room may be less hazardous in itself than the separate rooms, because one is more likely to see the hazard activate, i.e. the fewer the rooms the more likely you are to see and take action sooner when necessary.  I suggest you would then discuss the different viewpoints in your analysis rather than just trying to shoehorn everything into one classification.
