If the property is in Hucknall, the council that matters is Ashfield District Council. We look up its current schemes for the address, note any conditions it usually attaches, and plan the work to suit.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 44 miles from Hucknall. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

Checked October 2026 against Ashfield District Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Ashfield District 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 found no additional licensing scheme in force in Ashfield District 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 Hucknall
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Hucknall, 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 Hucknall 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.
- Bedroom measured to confirm it still meets size standards
- Extract fan ducted to outside with overrun control
- Drainage route checked under the floor at survey
- Electrical work tested and certified
- Shower, toilet, basin and wipe-clean wall finish fitted
