Shared houses in North Hykeham need to satisfy North Kesteven District Council's licensing team as well as building regulations. We plan for both from the first survey, which avoids rework later.
Because we also manage and maintain HMOs, we design with day-to-day running in mind: hard-wearing finishes, sensible storage and layouts that keep shared spaces usable.

Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether North Kesteven District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
En-suite installation for North Hykeham landlords
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across North Hykeham, 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 North Hykeham 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.
- Electrical work tested and certified
- Shower, toilet, basin and wipe-clean wall finish fitted
- Extract fan ducted to outside with overrun control
- Fire stopping where pipes pass through floors and walls
- Drainage route checked under the floor at survey
