Home Improvements
WITH the arrival of the warmer,
brighter sunnier
weather now is the perfect time to look at home improvements. Whether it is a simple lick of paint to change the colour scheme or more major works such as an extension or new kitchen or bathroom. There is nothing quite like getting hold of your house and moulding it to fit your taste, lifestyle and needs.
There is a lot you can do yourself – if you are so inclined, simple jobs like painting and minor improvements such as changing curtains and furnishings. However, these days with busy lives, long working hours and families and friends to see and spend time with, many of us don’t have the time, motivation and skills to carry out this work ourselves. Fear not, we are fortunate to have many local businesses on hand to help make our house our dream home. Of course, fashions and
trends change regularly so something like a new colour scheme or a change of carpet and flooring can really lift your home and bring it up to date. It is always advisable to use qualified professionals when looking at new flooring – if you pick a quality product and it is well fitted it will comfortably last until you next decide it is time to redecorate. Similarly, new curtains or soft furnishings can add a splash of colour and fresh feel to
a room – likewise, go to an experienced professional to get sound advice and excellent service. If you are looking at more
major work then you need to speak with experts, after all, even the most enthusiastic DIY- er doesn’t want to be fitting new windows or building a conservatory. Of course, home improvements are not always just about making things look nice. New windows and doors do indeed look good, but they also have an environmental and economic benefit. Again, the latest technology is remarkable, windows and doors are readily available in a whole range of materials and colours. Invite one of the reputable local businesses to come and give you a quote and they will gladly pass on the benefit of their experience and knowledge to help you get the right product. Perhaps you would like
to reconfigure the layout of your property to create an open plan living area or make the most of some otherwise unused space. This is where the knowledge and know-how of an experienced builder will be invaluable. Knocking down walls might look fun, but, you need to consider structural integrity, plumbing and electrical connections amongst other things. This type of work will need to meet building regulations and your trusted local tradesman will be able
