What does ensuite installation in Saint Peters involve?

  • Tanking and waterproof wall boards
  • Waste, macerator or pumped drainage
  • Stud partition or pod installation
  • Survey of room size, drainage and water pressure
  • Lighting and electrics to bathroom zones

Which rules apply in Saint Peters?

Ensuite installation in Saint Peters must satisfy national law for England, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:

  • Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
  • 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.

Questions about ensuite installation in Saint Peters

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.

Which postcodes in Saint Peters do you work in?

All of them, including CT9 and CT10, and the surrounding parts of Kent.

Does a shared house in Saint Peters need an HMO licence?

In England, a mandatory licence is needed for 5 or more people from 2 or more households. Smaller HMOs can need a licence where the council runs additional licensing, which is common in towns with many shared houses. Check the council’s website for the address.
