Refurbishing Vs Extending Your Living Space
Refurbishments can offer your property the internal, structural TLC it might have been needing for some time if it is an older build. On the other hand, if you are wanting to introduce additional living space into your home, house extensions are definitely the answer. Our verdict? The two can very easily and cost-effectively go hand in hand. The end goal is always to maximise the space in which you live. If you are not in absolute need of expanding your living areas with new rooms, you may like to simply refurbish the bare bones of what’s already there.
When it comes to home extensions, the major advantage is of course more space. Who doesn’t love the idea of that? With no end of possibilities in sight, you could be having us build your new living area, home office, conservatory, games room or home cinema! On the other hand, when it comes to property refurbishments, the essential benefit is that we are simply reinforcing, repairing and revamping what is already there. No need to worry about affecting the outdoor areas of your home or impacting your neighbours.
Overall, in many cases, it’s much more eco-friendly to refurbish rather than expand. By working internally with what’s already there, you are saving energy and maintaining your outdoor greenery as much as possible. For more information on this regarding any of our other services, such as property conversions, multi-storey extensions, or hard landscaping, please contact our domestic builders in Exeter to learn more.
Rely On us For Your Building Solution
Property refurbishments are often considered a more environmentally-friendly option over building a new extension from the ground up. This is because a refurbishment will require much less energy to conduct. Popular opinions will dictate that gutting and rebuilding the internal walls is an arguably better option than demolishing and rebuilding exterior walls from scratch.
Perhaps you need to physically introduce more space into your property, but are conscious of your environmental impact - or the cost involved. Why not consider refurbishing your property from the inside-up, instead of expanding outwardly? By adding another storey, you can still introduce additional rooms and living areas, whilst not majorly altering the external shape and parameters of your property.
