Shared houses in Lutterworth need to satisfy Harborough 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.
