An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. In Warrington, a place of roughly 170,000 people in Cheshire, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards. With students as well as working sharers renting in Warrington, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.

Which rules apply in Warrington?
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 Warrington before we price.
- Licensed HMOs must meet national minimum bedroom sizes: 6.51 m² for one person aged 10 or over, 10.22 m² for two, and 4.64 m² for a child under 10.
- National rules ask for an adequate number of bathrooms, WCs and basins and suitably located kitchens; numeric ratios are set by each council.
- A conversion can be a material change of use under the building regulations, so confirm with building control before work starts.
- Electrical installations must be inspected and tested at least every 5 years; remedial work is due within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so.

Questions about ensuite installation in Warrington
Does an ensuite count towards the room size?
No. The ensuite area is normally excluded when the bedroom is measured, so the remaining room must still meet the size standard.
Which postcodes in Warrington do you work in?
All of them, including WA1, WA4 and WA55, and the surrounding parts of Cheshire.
Does a shared house in Warrington need an HMO licence?
In England, a mandatory licence is needed for 5 or more people from 2 or more households. Smaller HMOs can need a licence where the council runs additional licensing, which is common in towns with many shared houses. Check the council’s website for the address.
