An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. Landlords in Glasgow (G1, G2, G3 and G22) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have. With students as well as working sharers renting in Glasgow, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.

Which rules apply in Glasgow?
Ensuite installation in Glasgow must satisfy national law for Scotland, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Room sizes are set by each council; East Lothian, for example, uses 6.5 m² for a single room with a shared lounge and kitchen, and 10 m² without.
- Kitchen, WC and bathroom ratios come from council standards; one WC and one bath or shower per 5 people is a common figure.
- A building warrant may be needed for a change of use or for installing a fire alarm system; check with the council’s building standards service.
- An EICR before the first let and at least every 5 years, with C1 and C2 items fixed, PAT testing of supplied appliances and RCD protection.
