New Roof or Re-roofing
The roof might not always be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about home improvements, but it should be a priority as it is the first defence line against weather. So, let’s talk about the reasons why you should replace your old roof and the advantages of doing so.Repairing or replacing your roof at the right time is vital to avoid extra costs. Good maintenance can not only extend your roof’s life, and help prevent futur problems or damages. Therefore, early inspections can help prevent and reduce repairs and replacement costs.
Dry Ridge and Dry Verge
Dry ridge systems have become popular in recent years as an alternative method of fixing ridge and hip tiles to the roof because the more traditional sand and cement method has a number of issues. Using mortar to fix roof ridge tiles is not only time consuming, but the mortar often cracks and falls out over time. This is partly due to temperature fluctuations and weather conditions, leading to an unstable roof ridge that is exposed to the elements. Additionally, mortar-fixed ridge tiles require regular maintenance to prevent them from disconnecting and falling off.
uPVC Fascia & Soffits
uPVC is a popular material used in today’s construction industry. Most commonly, uPVC is used to manufacture doors and windows. It is also considered a popular choice for cladding, soffits, and fascia. Durability is one of the main benefits of using uPVC fascia and soffits. The material is used to replace traditional wood claddings and the older plastic types.
Rubber Roofing
Rubber is also long-lasting. Most of these roofs are laid in a single piece, which means there are no seams or very few, depending on the exact layout of the roof. Few seams mean few places for water to seep under the roofing and destroy the home. And because modern rubber is not susceptible to the sun’s UV and ultraviolet rays, a properly-installed rubber roof can last 50 years or even longer. Rubber can withstand high winds and even hail up to three inches in diameter. Many rubber roofs laid down in the 1970s are still in use today.
Pointing
Pointing, in building maintenance, the technique of repairing mortar joints between bricks or other masonry elements. When aging mortar joints crack and disintegrate, the defective mortar is removed by hand or power tool and replaced with fresh mortar, preferably of the same composition as the original.
Exterior Painting
Curb appeal is incredibly important to your home’s value, especially when it is on the market. Potential sellers quickly makes judgments about how much they are willing to spend based on the house’s exterior appearance. Nothing contributes to curb appeal or adds character to a house like exterior paint. Even the oldest, dingiest house can be transformed by nothing more than a fresh coat of paint. If you have limited money to spend on updating your curb appeal, exterior paint is definitely the way to get the most bang for your buck.
Adding a Property Extension
Extending your home might involve building an extension, converting your attic or garage, or extending your existing living space.
Extensions range from adding a few more square feet to the living room to multi-room, double-story additions. Some alternations will not need planning permission, while others will need planning permission and the help of an architect and builder.
As many more of us are now working part time from home, you may wish to extend your living space in order to set up a home office.
