An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. Gloucester is 32 miles north-east of Bristol. We price ensuite installation there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for. With students as well as working sharers renting in Gloucester, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
