Covering Heanor
Postcode districts we cover around Heanor include DE75. Nearby, we also take on projects in Ripley (2 miles), Ilkeston (4 miles), Belper (5 miles), Alfreton (6 miles).
For homes towards Nottinghamshire, Eastwood is around 2 miles away. Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.
What we take care of
- Planning application where needed
- Level thresholds and accessible layouts
- Single-storey extension options assessed first
- Structural survey before any upward extension
- Roof designs that tie into the existing hipped or gable roof
Planning rules that apply in Heanor
In England a single-storey extension to a bungalow follows the normal permitted development limits (3 m or 4 m, or 6 m and 8 m through prior approval). Adding a first floor always needs planning permission.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Common questions in Heanor
Who do I contract with for a bungalow extension in Heanor?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Do I need building regulations approval in Heanor?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How long does a bungalow extension take to build in Heanor?
On site, typically 10 to 18 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–14 weeks design and approvals.
Can I extend a bungalow without planning permission?
In England a single-storey rear extension to a bungalow follows the same permitted development limits as a house: 3 m or 4 m, or up to 6 m or 8 m through prior approval. Adding a storey always needs planning permission.
Is it better to extend sideways or upwards?
Sideways and rearwards is usually simpler, cheaper and keeps single-level living. Upwards saves garden but means stairs, more structure and planning permission.
