Lichfield sits within Lichfield District 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.
We'll tell you plainly if a house in Lichfield isn't suited to the number of rooms you have in mind, and what it would take to make it work.

Checked October 2026 against Lichfield District Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

We couldn't confirm whether Lichfield District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Our HMO en-suite installation service in Lichfield
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Lichfield, 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 Lichfield 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.
