HMO projects in Arnold are shaped by the rules of Gedling Borough Council. Before we price anything, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs and how long it takes.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 45 miles from Arnold. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

Gedling Borough Council has proposed an Article 4 direction for three streets in Netherfield. None was in force when we checked. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in Gedling Borough Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
How we handle HMO en-suite installation work in Arnold
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Arnold, 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 Arnold we check the drainage route under the floor before quoting. Every en-suite we fit in Nottinghamshire is finished with a ducted fan, certified electrics and fire stopping.
- Shower, toilet, basin and wipe-clean wall finish fitted
- Extract fan ducted to outside with overrun control
- Drainage route checked under the floor at survey
- Electrical work tested and certified
- Bedroom measured to confirm it still meets size standards
