Signs It’s Time To Refurbish

We all need a little confirmation and reassurance when investing in changes to our property such as loft conversions and property renovations, house extensions or property refurbishments. So often we neglect the needs of our home when the busyness of day-to-day life overtakes us. It’s when we finally have a moment to pause that we notice some of the below signs that our property needs some refurbishment TLC:

•  Your needs have changed

  Perhaps you require additional space, or innovative structural alterations or disabled adaptations introduced into your home? Whatever the case, when the needs of the occupants have changed, so must the property design, and our building contractors can help. 

•  Noticeable deterioration

  Whether it's cracking in the walls, bending or rotting floorboards, or fading or peeling paintwork, these are all sure signs it is time to refurbish and get your home back to full health. 

•  Musty smells

  Dampness in the house, a sign of failing or inadequate insulation. Dark areas of the home will always be prone to a little dampness, but if this begins to result in a strange, musty smell, discoloured patches on the walls, mould, or mildew, it’s time to refurbish. Left unchecked, that musty smell could lead to unhygienic spores in the air and the decline of what should be a safe and healthy living space.

•  Pest infestations

  A sign the house is not as fortified as it used to be. Time to do some detective work and consider having your foundations, walls and the corners of your home assessed and reinforced.

•  Design

  Last, but not least. You may find that none of the above are issues in your home at all! Instead, you are simply looking to refresh the scenery of your home with a new design concept. Why not speak to our local builders about loft conversions? The mansard conversion is especially popular in Farnborough, and our team will be happy to advise!
