Which rules apply in Norfolk?
- 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.
- Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
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.

Questions about ensuite installation in Norfolk
Can an ensuite go anywhere?
It needs a route for waste water. Gravity drainage is best; where that is not possible, a macerator or pump can work. We check at the survey.
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.
Do you carry out ensuite installation across Norfolk?
Yes, across the whole of Norfolk, including Norwich, Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn.
Who licenses HMOs in Norfolk?
HMOs in Norfolk are licensed by the local council for the address. Where an area has several councils, each runs its own licensing and planning policies.
