Uppingham sits within Rutland County Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. Our designs start from those standards, so the layout we price is designed to meet the council's licensing requirements.

En-suite installation in Uppingham: what we do
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Uppingham, 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 Uppingham 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.
- Electrical work tested and certified
- Extract fan ducted to outside with overrun control
- Drainage route checked under the floor at survey
- Fire stopping where pipes pass through floors and walls
- Bedroom measured to confirm it still meets size standards
