HOME RENOVATIONS
Home Renovations
The Complete Handbook
How to plan and carry out renovations, from total restoration to simple updating.
Renovating homes is one of the UK’s most popular pasties, and it’s not difficult to see why – we are fortunate to have a wealth of history in our buildings. But renovating isn’t just for those who own a period home; it is for anyone who wants to improve their surroundings and add value their property.
All homes, whether they are period or newly built properties, will need some sort of maintenance at some time; home improvement has become an essential part of owning a home.
Renovation work doesn’t have to be major before it becomes worthwhile; smaller projects like re-fitting the kitchen or refurbishing a fireplace, go a long way to transforming a home and are just as rewarding.
You’ll find practical information on:
- Preservation and damp proofing treatments.
- Re-wiring and re-plumbing.
- Restoring period features.
- Replacement windows and doors.
- Re-insulating and ventilating.
- Re-decorating.
And much more.
Whether you are looking to re-insulate, damp proof or simply strip back your old floors to their original finish, Home Renovations is an invaluable guide and the front door key to a better home - don’t leave it under a brick!
