Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Clay Cross we start by measuring every room and checking North East Derbyshire District Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 47 miles from Clay Cross. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

Our HMO refurbishment service in Clay Cross
We refurbish existing HMOs in Clay Cross that have fallen behind current standards, whether the prompt is a licence renewal, a council inspection or rooms that have become hard to let. The survey splits the work into safety, licence and optional items so the priorities are clear.
Where rooms in a Clay Cross house are still let, we phase the work so tenants keep a working kitchen, bathroom and alarm system throughout. For landlords across Derbyshire, each job ends with updated certificates and photos ready to send to the council.
- Phasing plan that keeps occupied rooms usable
- Fire doors, alarms and escape routes brought up to standard
- Before and after photos and updated certificates
- Kitchens, bathrooms, electrics and decoration renewed as agreed
