HMO projects in Newark-on-Trent are shaped by the rules of Newark and Sherwood 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.
Work is carried out by S&K and vetted subcontractors working under S&K's supervision, so you contract with one company for the whole project.

Our HMO loft conversion service in Newark-on-Trent
Plenty of houses have roof space that could hold extra bedrooms, but in Newark-on-Trent we always measure the headroom first, because floor under a 1.5 m ceiling does not count towards room size. That tells you how many rooms the loft can really add.
A loft room usually creates a third storey, so we plan the protected escape route and alarm upgrades for the whole Newark-on-Trent house, not just the new floor. We also check the occupant count, because seven or more residents needs planning permission anywhere in Nottinghamshire.
- Structural design and building control application
- Headroom survey and countable floor area calculation
- New staircase and protected escape route
- Alarm extended and doors upgraded on lower floors
- Planning and permitted development position checked first
