AROUND T HE HO M E
Renovations With house prices climbing dramatically in recent years, many local homeowners have opted to renovate their existing home rather than sell and buy again. Often the most important areas to update are bathrooms and kitchens. Fortunately the local district is well endowed with highly professional kitchen, bathroom and building companies staffed by experienced people. Before starting a renovation scour magazines for ideas. Be sure to get several quotes and be sure each company is quoting on a level playing field – the same materials and the same quality of fixtures and fittings. Allow for extras and price rises. Many local companies will provide a free measure and quote and most will be happy to assist with ideas and practicalities that might change your initial thinking to some degree. If a garden renovation is on the agenda, enjoy exploring local nurseries and garden centres where you are sure to find landscaping supplies and garden art as well as a plethora of plants to transform the outdoors.
