HMO projects in Melton Mowbray are shaped by the rules of Melton Borough 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.

Because we also manage and maintain HMOs, we design with day-to-day running in mind: hard-wearing finishes, sensible storage and layouts that keep shared spaces usable.

HMO refurbishment in Melton Mowbray: what we do

We refurbish existing HMOs in Melton Mowbray 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 Melton Mowbray house are still let, we phase the work so tenants keep a working kitchen, bathroom and alarm system throughout. For landlords across Leicestershire, each job ends with updated certificates and photos ready to send to the council.

Questions about HMO refurbishment in Melton Mowbray

Yes. An HMO conversion often involves building regulations work such as fire protection, new partitions and drainage, and we arrange approval and inspections with local authority building control or a registered building control approver.

It depends on the size of the house and the work involved. Your written quote includes a programme for each stage, and any planning or licensing time is shown separately.

Do you supply fire doors and alarms as part of a conversion?

Yes. Fire doors, the alarm system and emergency lighting are specified to the fire risk of the house and included in the price, not added later.

Yes if five or more people from two or more households will live there, because mandatory licensing applies in every council in England. Melton Borough Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.
