Shared houses in Buxton need to satisfy High Peak Borough Council's licensing team as well as building regulations. We plan for both from the first survey, which avoids rework later.
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.
