An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. Landlords in Leytonstone (E10 and E11) 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.

Which rules apply in Leytonstone?
Here is what usually applies to a Leytonstone job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
- National rules ask for an adequate number of bathrooms, WCs and basins and suitably located kitchens; numeric ratios are set by each council.
- Building regulations cover structural changes, new partitions, ensuite drainage, fire-resisting construction and notifiable electrical work.
- 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.
