Which rules apply in Ashington?

The rules below are the England-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Ashington before we price.

Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.
Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
Fire precautions follow a risk assessment; the LACORS Housing – Fire Safety guide (2008) is guidance, not law, but many councils base their standards on it.
