Home Renovation in Fareham and Locks Heath
‍Things You Should Know Before Renovating

1. Nail The Basics

Before you can proceed with your renovation project, it’s essential to complete the following tasks to start on the right foot:

• Get Expert Assistance

  Having a design and build specialist on hand, such as Urban Developments (Gosport) Ltd, will help you with all aspects of the planning and design process, as well as acquiring planning permission.

• Set a Budget

  This will help you maintain a sense of realism with your design plans and help reduce the risk of running out of money mid-project. Aim to secure all the necessary funding before construction for added peace of mind.

• Check Access and Get a Measured Survey

  Having a detailed understanding of the site will help your home builder deliver on your vision and reduce the risk of error.

2. Schedule Work and Prepare Your Home

With our home renovations, we know how valuable it is for our Fareham and Locks Heath customers to have a schedule of work agreed upon in advance. Renovating your home can be a chaotic period, and no one wants to live with a construction site in their house for longer than necessary. Get a clear idea of how long your renovation project should take to complete so that you can use this information to make contingency living plans. You may need to make temporary arrangements to separate you and your family from the construction site and move items in your home into storage, plus other plans.

3. Avoid Spending on Unnecessary Work

When renovating, it can be tempting to completely change your Fareham or Locks Heath property. However, the more you change, the more expensive your home renovation will be and the longer it will take to complete. Although this doesn’t affect everyone, if you have set yourself a restrictive budget, you want to make sure you’re spending it on the aspects of the project that matter most to you. For example, removing period windows, doors, or ground-floor bathrooms can remove your property’s sense of character and practicality, detracting from the final product.
