An HMO in Sneinton has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.
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.

Checked October 2026 against Nottingham City Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
Nottingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Sneinton into a small HMO needs planning permission. We prepare the planning application before any conversion work starts. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Nottingham City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 31 December 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.
How we handle HMO en-suite installation work in Sneinton
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Sneinton, 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 Sneinton 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.
- Electrical work tested and certified
- Bedroom measured to confirm it still meets size standards
- 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
