An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. Worcester is 24 miles south-west of Birmingham. We price ensuite installation there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for. With students as well as working sharers renting in Worcester, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
