Our HMO en-suite installation service in Lincoln
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Lincoln, 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 Lincoln we check the drainage route under the floor before quoting. Every en-suite we fit in Lincolnshire is finished with a ducted fan, certified electrics and fire stopping.
- Fire stopping where pipes pass through floors and walls
- Extract fan ducted to outside with overrun control
- Shower, toilet, basin and wipe-clean wall finish fitted
- Bedroom measured to confirm it still meets size standards
- Drainage route checked under the floor at survey
