HMO projects in Leek are shaped by the rules of Staffordshire Moorlands District Council. Before we price anything, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs and how long it takes.
We'll tell you plainly if a house in Leek isn't suited to the number of rooms you have in mind, and what it would take to make it work.

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