An HMO in Wellingborough has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.
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.

| Mandatory HMO licence (5+ people) | In force everywhere in England |

| Article 4 direction for small HMOs | In part of the area Kingswood ward in Corby only, since 24 April 2024 |
Checked October 2026 against North Northamptonshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
North Northamptonshire Council's Article 4 direction covers Kingswood ward in Corby only, not Wellingborough, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in North Northamptonshire Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
HMO fire safety works in Wellingborough: what we do
We carry out HMO fire safety works in Wellingborough to a written specification taken from the fire risk assessment and the local council's HMO standards. That keeps the work proportionate, because a small two-storey house and a large three-storey one in Wellingborough rarely need the same measures.
Typical jobs in Wellingborough include fire doors with self-closers, interlinked alarms, emergency lighting and fire stopping of hidden gaps. Every job across Northamptonshire ends with commissioning certificates, photos of concealed work and a logbook for routine tests.
- Mains-wired interlinked smoke and heat detection
- Fire stopping around pipes, cables, hatches and cupboards
- Specification taken from the fire risk assessment and council standards

- Commissioning certificates, logbook and photos of concealed work
