Shared houses in Shirebrook need to satisfy Bolsover District 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.

Large HMO conversions in Shirebrook: what we do
For larger houses and buildings in Shirebrook, we assess whether an HMO for seven or more people is realistic before any design money is spent. That means checking local planning policy, the structure, the escape routes and how many kitchens and bathrooms the occupancy would need.
If the scheme works, we prepare the planning drawings, agree the fire strategy with building control and build floor by floor. It suits bigger properties in Shirebrook and across Derbyshire where a six-bedroom layout would leave usable space empty.
- Floor-by-floor build programme with building control inspections
- Kitchens and bathrooms sized to council amenity standards
- Feasibility check of the building, layout and planning policy
- Fire strategy agreed with building control at the start
- Handover file prepared for the mandatory licence
