Shared houses in Atherstone need to satisfy North Warwickshire Borough Council's licensing team as well as building regulations. We plan for both from the first survey, which avoids rework later.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 16 miles from Atherstone. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.
