When you think of builders, you no doubt conjure up images of them only building houses, conservatories or loft conversions from scratch. But the skills of a builder go way beyond just new builds. One of their skills is being able to take an existing extension or conservatory, and making a few changes and improvements that can make it look brand new, whilst only requiring half the time and maybe even half your budget.
Take look at some examples of how this could be possible:
Old Conservatory
Do you have a conservatory that you like but it is starting to look old and worn out? A building company should have no problem renovating such a conservatory. They may replace the roof for example or slightly extend the room a bit. They could add some new windows or doors to make it lighter and brighter. By doing so, it will look and feel like a brand new conservatory, just tweaked and modernised to match your existing home.
Knocking your conservatory down and starting again is of course an option - but let your conservatory building specialist be the judge of what the best course of action is.
Renovate an Existing Room
Perhaps you want an extension built so that you have more floor space downstairs? Remember an extension will eat into your garden and is a very major project. There may be some alternatives. Do you have a downstairs room that is not used for anything in particular? An option may be to utilise this room rather than extending out. A knock through and then a redecoration job could be performed by a home renovation team, meaning the result could be the same just without the need for a whole new room to be built. Use the space you have already and you may get the same results.
For these reasons outlined, it is important that a building specialist visits your home so that he can make a professional judgement on what will be best for you. They will not just look to perform the biggest job so that they get a bigger contract. Trust them to work with your best interests at heart.
