HMO conversions in Crewe and across Cheshire.
We convert property into compliant, lettable HMOs in Crewe and across Cheshire, working to the local authority's amenity standards rather than the ones next door. Fire compartmentation, room sizes and kitchen provision signed off, and the whole build documented.

What we do here
The rules change at the county line.
An HMO is a single property let to three or more unrelated people forming more than one household. The building work is much the same either side of the Staffordshire and Cheshire border. The standard it has to meet is not.

We have built here. Our 6-bed HMO with loft conversion in Crewe was a mid-terraced former cannabis farm: botched wiring, rising damp, and dry rot spreading from a roof leak that nobody had found. It is on the site in full, including the parts that cost the owner money.
The lesson from that job is the one worth carrying into any Cheshire scheme. The amenity standards we had to hit there were tighter than the ones we normally work to on the Stoke side, and that showed up in room sizes, kitchen provision and washing facilities rather than in the structure. It is not a difference you can price from a spreadsheet: you check the specific council's HMO standards for the specific property before you commit, or you find out during the build.
Everything else runs the way it does on every HYPE job. Scope and price agreed before work starts, variations flagged and agreed as they arise, fire compartmentation and sound separation photographed for the evidence pack, and the build documented as it goes.

Who this is for
Investors buying in Cheshire who want it done once.
We work with investors and landlords converting property in Crewe and the wider Cheshire area. We do not source property and we are not advisers: we are the builder.
A scheme that suits an HMO
Room count, layout and the council's amenity standards decide what the property can actually become. We look at all three before anyone commits to a number.
A budget that matches the standard
We price after a site visit, and the price is agreed before work starts. It moves only if the building throws up something real or you ask for extra work. We will not quote low and cut the specification to get there.
You want the compliance evidenced
Fire compartmentation, detection and separation photographed as they go in, so the evidence is there when the licensing inspection comes.
The honest filter
If you fall outside these: we'll tell you on the first call. We'll refer you to a contractor we trust. No hard feelings, no hard sell.

How it runs
Six phases. Documented.
The same operating standard as every other HYPE build, with the local licensing standard checked at the front rather than the end.
PHASE01
Site Survey
The property, its condition, and the council's HMO standards for that address.
PHASE02
Costing
Your architect tests the layout against the amenity standards that actually apply: we turn it into a real price and programme.
PHASE03
Planning
Your architect's drawings and planning where needed: spec, scope and price agreed.
PHASE04
Build
Fire compartmentation, detection and separation built and photographed as it goes.
Same six-phase operating standard as every HYPE build.

For the right build only
Build it right.
Build it HYPE.
We take on substantial building work across Stoke-on-Trent and the Midlands: extensions, conversions, full refurbishments, commercial works and repairs after fire, flood or damage. Properly scoped projects, not odd jobs or reactive maintenance.
We're VAT registered, so on smaller jobs a non-VAT builder will always undercut us. That's just the maths. Our work pays off where doing it properly matters more than the cheapest quote.
If that sounds like your project, tell us what you've got. We'll tell you straight whether we're right for it, and if we're not, we'll say so. Either way, we wish you all the best x.
