Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Evesham we start by measuring every room and checking Wychavon District Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.
Because we also manage and maintain HMOs, we design with day-to-day running in mind: hard-wearing finishes, sensible storage and layouts that keep shared spaces usable.

Checked October 2026 against Wychavon District Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Wychavon District Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Wychavon District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
How we handle HMO en-suite installation work in Evesham
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Evesham, 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 Evesham we check the drainage route under the floor before quoting. Every en-suite we fit in Worcestershire is finished with a ducted fan, certified electrics and fire stopping.
- Shower, toilet, basin and wipe-clean wall finish fitted
- Electrical work tested and certified
- 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
