Amber Valley Borough Council is the licensing and planning authority for Heanor. We check its rules for the exact street before we draw a single partition.
We cover DE75 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same standards in Heanor as anywhere else in Derbyshire.

Checked October 2026 against Amber Valley Borough Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Amber Valley Borough Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Amber Valley Borough Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Our HMO en-suite installation service in Heanor
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Heanor, starting with a check that each bedroom still meets its size standard once the en-suite is built. Councils take different views on whether en-suite floor area counts, so we confirm the local position first.
Older houses often have joists running the wrong way and soil stacks in fixed positions, so in Heanor we check the drainage route under the floor before quoting. Every en-suite we fit in Derbyshire is finished with a ducted fan, certified electrics and fire stopping.
- Drainage route checked under the floor at survey
- Shower, toilet, basin and wipe-clean wall finish fitted
- Bedroom measured to confirm it still meets size standards
- Electrical work tested and certified
- Extract fan ducted to outside with overrun control
