Herefordshire Council is the licensing and planning authority for Leominster. We check its rules for the exact street before we draw a single partition.
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.

Checked October 2026 against Herefordshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Herefordshire Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Herefordshire Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Void and turnaround refurbishment in Leominster: what we do
We turn round empty HMO rooms in Leominster between tenancies: inspection, repairs, redecoration, a deep clean and safety checks, finished with photos you can use to advertise the room. Each job is quoted per room or per job after we have seen it.
Because tenants can now give notice at any point in the year, voids in Leominster are harder to predict. We agree standard finishes and a set checklist with landlords across Herefordshire, so a room can be put right without waiting on decisions.
- Fire door, closer and alarm checks
- Completion photos ready for advertising the room
- Gas safety and electrical report dates reviewed
- Deep clean of the room and nearby shared areas
- Move-out inspection with dated photos
