Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Long Eaton we start by measuring every room and checking Erewash Borough Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.
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.

HMO refurbishment in Long Eaton: what we do
We refurbish existing HMOs in Long Eaton 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 Long Eaton 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.
