  • 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.
  • 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.
  • BS 7671, the wiring standard, calls for arc fault detection devices in HMOs on new socket circuits, such as rewires and consumer unit changes.
  • Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.

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 West Yorkshire

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 West Yorkshire?

Yes, across the whole of West Yorkshire, including Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield.
