Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Stapleford we start by measuring every room and checking Broxtowe Borough Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.

Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Broxtowe Borough Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
How we handle HMO en-suite installation work in Stapleford
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Stapleford, 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 Stapleford 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.
- Fire stopping where pipes pass through floors and walls
- Bedroom measured to confirm it still meets size standards
- Extract fan ducted to outside with overrun control
- Electrical work tested and certified
- Shower, toilet, basin and wipe-clean wall finish fitted
