How we handle HMO en-suite installation work in Stourport-on-Severn
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Stourport-on-Severn, 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 Stourport-on-Severn 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.
