In Rutland, as everywhere in England, a house with five or more people forming two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence. Rutland County Council may add its own schemes, as the table shows.
Our work in Rutland ranges from single houses for first-time landlords to larger projects for investors, with terms agreed in writing before work starts.

Our HMO en-suite installation service in Rutland
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Rutland, 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 Rutland we check the drainage route under the floor before quoting. Every en-suite we fit in Rutland is finished with a ducted fan, certified electrics and fire stopping.
- Drainage route checked under the floor at survey
- Bedroom measured to confirm it still meets size standards
- Extract fan ducted to outside with overrun control
- Fire stopping where pipes pass through floors and walls
- Shower, toilet, basin and wipe-clean wall finish fitted
