- Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
- A conversion can be a material change of use under the building regulations, so confirm with building control before work starts.
- BS 7671, the wiring standard, calls for arc fault detection devices in HMOs on new socket circuits, such as rewires and consumer unit changes.
Councils in England can add additional licensing and Article 4 directions on top of the national rules. Check the council’s website for the exact address before you buy or start work.

Questions about ensuite installation in Cornwall
How noisy are macerators?
Modern units are quieter than older ones but still audible. We use them only where gravity drainage is not possible and fit them to reduce noise.
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.
Do you carry out ensuite installation across Cornwall?
Yes, across the whole of Cornwall, including Redruth, Falmouth, St Austell.
Who licenses HMOs in Cornwall?
HMOs in Cornwall are licensed by the local council for the address. Where an area has several councils, each runs its own licensing and planning policies.
