HMO conversions in Cheadle: what we do

Our HMO conversion work in Cheadle starts with a measured survey and a check of the planning and licensing rules that apply to the street. We design the room layout, shared facilities and escape route around those rules, then price the agreed specification in an itemised written quote.

Two houses in Cheadle that look alike from outside can give different room counts once the kitchen, stairs and bathrooms are measured. We give you a realistic number early, then build across Staffordshire with our own team and vetted subcontractors under a single contract.
