In short: An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. In Stirling we survey first, price each item separately and hand over the certificates and photos a council asks for.

- Room sizes are set by each council; East Lothian, for example, uses 6.5 m² for a single room with a shared lounge and kitchen, and 10 m² without.
- Kitchen, WC and bathroom ratios come from council standards; one WC and one bath or shower per 5 people is a common figure.
- A building warrant may be needed for a change of use or for installing a fire alarm system; check with the council’s building standards service.
- An EICR before the first let and at least every 5 years, with C1 and C2 items fixed, PAT testing of supplied appliances and RCD protection.
Scottish councils set their own HMO licence standards and planning policies. Every HMO needs a licence, so check the council’s standards before you design the layout.

Questions about ensuite installation in Stirling
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.
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.
Do you carry out ensuite installation across Stirling?
Yes, across the whole of Stirling, including Stirling.
Who licenses HMOs in Stirling?
Stirling council licenses HMOs in its area. Every HMO in Scotland needs a licence.
