HMO projects in Burntwood are shaped by the rules of Lichfield District 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.
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 for Burntwood landlords
For larger houses and buildings in Burntwood, 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 Burntwood and across Staffordshire where a six-bedroom layout would leave usable space empty.
- Planning drawings and room schedule for the application
- Floor-by-floor build programme with building control inspections
- Feasibility check of the building, layout and planning policy
- Fire strategy agreed with building control at the start
- Kitchens and bathrooms sized to council amenity standards
