Shared houses in Chesterfield need to satisfy Chesterfield Borough Council's licensing team as well as building regulations. We plan for both from the first survey, which avoids rework later.
Work is carried out by S&K and vetted subcontractors working under S&K's supervision, so you contract with one company for the whole project.

We couldn't confirm Chesterfield Borough Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Chesterfield Borough Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
En-suite installation for Chesterfield landlords
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Chesterfield, starting with a check that each bedroom still meets its size standard once the en-suite is built. Councils take different views on whether en-suite floor area counts, so we confirm the local position first.
Older houses often have joists running the wrong way and soil stacks in fixed positions, so in Chesterfield we check the drainage route under the floor before quoting. Every en-suite we fit in Derbyshire is finished with a ducted fan, certified electrics and fire stopping.
- Electrical work tested and certified
- Drainage route checked under the floor at survey
