We plan each HMO kitchen and bathroom job in Leicestershire around the local council's amenity standards, which set out kitchen, bathroom and room-size requirements for shared houses.
Our work in Leicestershire ranges from single conversions for first-time landlords to multi-house programmes for investors, all priced in writing before work starts.

Communal kitchens and bathrooms in Leicestershire: what we do
We design and fit communal kitchens and shared bathrooms for HMOs in Leicestershire, sized to the amenity standards the local council applies to the number of people in the house. Those standards differ between councils, so we check the current version for Leicestershire before drawing anything.
Fittings for houses in Leicestershire are chosen for heavy daily use: sealed worktops, wipe-clean wall panels, separate food storage and isolation valves on every fitting. Across Leicestershire, each kitchen gets the heat detection and fire blanket the fire risk assessment calls for.
- Isolation valves on every fitting
- Extract ventilation and certified electrical work
- Layout sized to your council's amenity standards
- Heavy-duty units, sealed worktops and slip-resistant flooring
- Heat detection and fire blanket where required
