Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Pershore we start by measuring every room and checking Wychavon District Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 32 miles from Pershore. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

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 fire safety work in Pershore
We carry out HMO fire safety works in Pershore 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 Pershore rarely need the same measures.
Typical jobs in Pershore include fire doors with self-closers, interlinked alarms, emergency lighting and fire stopping of hidden gaps. Every job across Worcestershire ends with commissioning certificates, photos of concealed work and a logbook for routine tests.
