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

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.

How we handle HMO refurbishment work in Redditch

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

HMO refurbishment in Redditch: common questions

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Redditch?

Often, yes. Flats above shops need extra attention to fire separation from the commercial unit, and we assess this at survey stage.

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Redditch?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Redditch Borough Council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.

What size must bedrooms be in an HMO in Redditch?

For licensed HMOs in England a room for one adult must be at least 6.51 square metres and a room for two adults at least 10.22 square metres. Redditch Borough Council may set additional standards, which we design to.

Can you work on a house I haven't bought yet in Redditch?

Yes. We can survey before you buy and tell you the likely room count, the planning and licensing position and a guide cost, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.
