An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. Hatfield is 18 miles north of London. 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 Hatfield, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.

Which rules apply in Hatfield?
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 Hatfield before we price.
- 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.
- 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.
