An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. In Blackpool, a place of roughly 150,000 people in Lancashire, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.

Which rules apply in Blackpool?
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 Blackpool 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.
- 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 Blackpool
How noisy are macerators?
Modern units are quieter than older ones but still audible. We use them only where gravity drainage is not possible and fit them to reduce noise.
Which postcodes in Blackpool do you work in?
All of them, including FY1 and FY3, and the surrounding parts of Lancashire.
Where do I check the HMO rules for an address in Blackpool?
With the local council for the address. Councils in England can add additional licensing and Article 4 directions on top of the national rules. Check the council’s website for the exact address before you buy or start work.
