Your Next Summer Renovation:

6 Ideas That’ll Breathe New Life Into Your Home

 

A well-executed renovation, aside from simply just providing a more pleasant space in which to live, can provide many benefits including increasing your property’s value and energy efficiency.

It’s important to plan your renovation project carefully, as there can be considerable costs associated. Consider what improvements you need and want to make, and determine how much you are able to spend on the project.

Here’s six ideas to help you make the most of your space and breathe new life into your home.

 

Loft Conversions

Loft conversions are one of the most popular home improvement and refurbishment projects in the UK, and it’s easy to see why. Not only do they provide a great way to expand your liveable space, but loft conversions could also add value to your property should you wish to sell up. In many cases, loft conversions will not require planning permission, making them a relatively straightforward project to undertake.

However, there are a few things you should bear in mind before getting started.

First, make sure that your loft is suitable for conversion. It should be well-insulated and have enough headroom to comfortably stand up in. You will also need to consider the type of conversion you want to carry out. The most common types are Velux loft conversions, which involve adding skylights to your roof, and Dormer Loft Conversions, which involve extending the roofline outwards.

Whichever option you choose, make sure that you use an experienced and reputable builder like Alpha Group to carry out the work to ensure a high-quality finish.

 

Garage Conversions

Another great way to add extra space and value to your home, garage conversions are becoming an increasingly popular refurbishment project on account of the many benefits they offer. Depending on your needs, the new space can be used as a bedroom, home office, playroom, or anything else you can imagine.

Not only can garage conversions add an extra room or two, but they can also increase the market value of your home by up to 20%. Like loft conversions, garage conversions can also prove a less expensive alternative to traditional home extensions.

By turning an unused or underutilised space into a functional room, you’re significantly increasing the resale value of your home. If you’re thinking about putting your house on the market in the near future, a garage conversion is a great way to make it more appealing to potential buyers.

It’s always important to proceed with a name you can trust – Alpha Group has extensive experience in carrying out all kinds of home improvement projects.

 

Bathroom Refurbishment

Your bathroom is one of the most personal and private spaces in your home, so it’s important that it reflects your unique style. Whether you’re hoping for a complete bathroom suite installation or simply looking to update your existing space, a bathroom refurbishment is an ideal way to achieve the look you want.

One of the benefits of a bathroom refurbishment is that it can be tailored to suit your specific needs and budget. For example, if you’re on a tight budget, you may only want to replace key pieces like the toilet, sink and bathtub. If you’re looking for a complete transformation, you may even look to knock out walls to create a more open and spacious layout.

No matter your vision for your bathroom, a refurbishment can help make it a reality. Contact Alpha Group and we’ll support you throughout the process – we even have long-standing relationships with leading manufacturers to offer fully bespoke bathrooms!

 

Kitchen Refurbishment

The kitchen is often referred to as ‘the heart of the home’, and for good reason – it’s a space where people come together to cook, eat, and socialise, so it’s important that it meets your requirements in terms of both style and functionality.

Aside from offering a more inviting space, a kitchen refurbishment can add value to your home and make it more energy-efficient. If you’re thinking about upgrading your kitchen, consider how you want to use the space and what kind of design will best suit your lifestyle

By working with a professional, you can create a space that perfectly suits your lifestyle and meets your specific needs. With careful planning, a kitchen refurbishment can be a truly transformational project. Alpha Group provides a full range of services including plumbers, electricians, kitchen fitters and tilers to ensure your kitchen refurbishment project always goes smoothly.

 

Living Room Refurbishment

People spend a lot of time in their living room, so it’s important to have a space that is comfortable and inviting. If your living room is feeling too small or outdated, it might be time to consider a refurbishment.

With a few simple changes, you can transform your living room into a space that you’re proud of.  Even something as quick and budget-friendly as a lick of paint can totally transform a tired space.

That said, if you’re looking for something more substantial such as plastering walls and ceilings or even structural work, Alpha Group’s team of refurbishment experts can support you in realising your dream living room.

 

Bedroom Refurbishment

Bedroom refurbishments are often cosmetic in nature, though similarly to living room refurbishments, it may be the case that you’re looking to remove or reposition walls. For any domestic building services, contact Alpha Group and let our experienced team support you in  making the most of your space.
