Questions about ensuite installation in Great Yarmouth
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.
Which postcodes in Great Yarmouth do you work in?
All of them, including NR30 and NR31, and the surrounding parts of Norfolk.
Does a shared house in Great Yarmouth 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.
