If the property is in Glenfield, the council that matters is Blaby District Council. We look up its current schemes for the address, note any conditions it usually attaches, and plan the work to suit.
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.

We couldn't confirm whether Blaby District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Void and turnaround refurbishment for Glenfield landlords
We turn round empty HMO rooms in Glenfield 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 Glenfield are harder to predict. We agree standard finishes and a set checklist with landlords across Leicestershire, so a room can be put right without waiting on decisions.
- Deep clean of the room and nearby shared areas
- Fire door, closer and alarm checks
- Completion photos ready for advertising the room
- Move-out inspection with dated photos
- Gas safety and electrical report dates reviewed
