How we handle HMO en-suite installation work in Matlock

We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Matlock, 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 Matlock 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
Extract fan ducted to outside with overrun control

Bedroom measured to confirm it still meets size standards
Fire stopping where pipes pass through floors and walls

En-suite installation in Matlock: common questions

Can you work on a house I haven't bought yet in Matlock?

Yes. We can survey before you buy and tell you the likely room count, the planning and licensing position and a guide cost, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

Do you supply fire doors and alarms as part of a conversion?

Yes. Fire doors, the alarm system and emergency lighting are specified to the fire risk of the house and included in the price, not added later.

Does a converted HMO in Matlock need a licence?

Yes if five or more people from two or more households will live there, because mandatory licensing applies in every council in England. Derbyshire Dales District Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Matlock?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Derbyshire Dales District Council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.
