Sleaford sits within North Kesteven District Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. Our designs start from those standards, so the layout we price is designed to meet the council's licensing requirements.

Because we also manage and maintain HMOs, we design with day-to-day running in mind: hard-wearing finishes, sensible storage and layouts that keep shared spaces usable.

Questions about HMO void refurbishment in Sleaford

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Sleaford?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether North Kesteven District Council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.

Do you supply fire doors and alarms as part of a conversion?

Yes. Fire doors, the alarm system and emergency lighting are specified to the fire risk of the house and included in the price, not added later.

Do you handle building regulations for conversions in Sleaford?

Yes. An HMO conversion often involves building regulations work such as fire protection, new partitions and drainage, and we arrange approval and inspections with local authority building control or a registered building control approver.

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Sleaford?

Often, yes. Flats above shops need extra attention to fire separation from the commercial unit, and we assess this at survey stage.
