Blaby District Council is the licensing and planning authority for Narborough. We check its rules for the exact street before we draw a single partition.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 30 miles from Narborough. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

How we handle HMO safety certificate work in Narborough
Landlords in Narborough need the same core certificates as anywhere in England: an annual gas safety record, an EICR at least every 5 years and working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Licence conditions often add fire alarm and emergency lighting servicing to the list.
We arrange checks for HMOs in Narborough and across Leicestershire, book them before they fall due and keep every date in a compliance diary. Where a report needs remedial work, we quote for it straight away so deadlines are met.
