Which rules apply in Newmarket?
Here is what usually applies to a Newmarket job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- Licensed HMOs must meet national minimum bedroom sizes: 6.51 m² for one person aged 10 or over, 10.22 m² for two, and 4.64 m² for a child under 10.
- 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 Newmarket
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 cover all of Newmarket?
Yes. We work across Newmarket and the CB8 postcode areas, plus the rest of Suffolk. Nearby places we also cover include Haverhill, Ely, Cambridge.
Does a shared house in Newmarket 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.
