From start to finish, Barnab made it effortless. I was dreading the paperwork for my special treatments licence, but Alek and the team handled everything. Clear guidance, quick turnaround, no stress. Highly recommend!

I thought getting a tattoo & piercing licence would take months, but Barnab got it sorted fast. They explained every step, helped with the premises plan, and made sure everything was compliant. Can’t thank them enough.

Barnab was a lifesaver. Their team answered every question, dealt with the council, and even checked over our insurance and safety docs before submission. Super professional and worth every penny.

You’ll need a completed application form, a premises plan showing treatment areas, public liability insurance, electrical and gas safety certificates, proof of planning permission for the premises. If this sounds overwhelming, don't worry! We will guide you through the whole process.

How much is your service and what do I get?

We charge £300 for the special treatments licence application. We take care of all the forms and design the premises plan. We also tell you what other supporting documents you need (certificates and planning permission). You will still need to pay the council fees, but this depends on what services you are offering!

How long does it take?

Once submitted, councils typically take 4-6 weeks to process applications. Delays may occur if additional documents are required.

Can I do this myself?

You can apply for any licence yourself. It will be quite a lot of work, but you can definitely do it! Just be careful with the application forms and supporting documents. If they are incorrect or something is missing, your application will be rejected. Our job is to remove the possibility of mistakes. That's why we have a 100% success rate across all licences.
