Shared houses in Shirebrook need to satisfy Bolsover District Council's licensing team as well as building regulations. We plan for both from the first survey, which avoids rework later.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 53 miles from Shirebrook. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

En-suite installation for Shirebrook landlords
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Shirebrook, 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 Shirebrook 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.
- Shower, toilet, basin and wipe-clean wall finish fitted
- Drainage route checked under the floor at survey
