HMO projects in Leek are shaped by the rules of Staffordshire Moorlands District Council. Before we price anything, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs and how long it takes.
You get one point of contact for the whole job, a fixed price for the agreed specification and a written programme showing when each stage happens.

Communal kitchens and bathrooms in Leek: what we do
