An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. For a house in Huddersfield we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately. Huddersfield has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.

Which rules apply in Huddersfield?
Here is what usually applies to a Huddersfield job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
- 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 Huddersfield
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.
Do you cover all of Huddersfield?
Yes. We work across Huddersfield and the HD1, HD2, HD3 and HD4 postcode areas, plus the rest of West Yorkshire. Nearby places we also cover include Brighouse, Halifax, Cleckheaton.
Does a shared house in Huddersfield 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.
