Building Works


The cost of moving home these days can often become quite prohibitive so, many of us are instead investing the money into extending or improving our current homes to avoid facing the expense of stamp duty, solicitors fees, surveyors, etc.

During the days of yesteryear, the kitchen was the hub of domestic activity and a reception room was kept for best. Nowadays, the kitchen maintains its central role, but we make much greater use of the lounge, conservatory, dining room, etc.

Not surprisingly, then, open-plan living, where all of our communal areas are effectively joined together is becoming increasingly popular as these spaces allow you to prepare food and drinks for your family or guests while still participating in the conversation and activity. There's more to it though than simply knocking down walls, not to mention the planning permission requirements. Use our guides below to get you started.
