Sandwell Council's cabinet approved an immediate borough-wide Article 4 direction on 14 October 2026. We could not confirm whether it has been made, so we check with the council before any change of use. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Sandwell Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 30 September 2029), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

How we handle HMO en-suite installation work in Rowley Regis

We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Rowley Regis, 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 Rowley Regis we check the drainage route under the floor before quoting. Every en-suite we fit in the West Midlands is finished with a ducted fan, certified electrics and fire stopping.

Fire stopping where pipes pass through floors and walls

Drainage route checked under the floor at survey
