Property Refurbishments in Locks Heath and Fareham
The Difference Between Refurbishments and Renovations

Renovations

Property renovations are projects that aim to change the structure or purpose of an existing space in your Fareham or Locks Heath house. These changes could involve major alterations to your property’s layout, and, compared to property refurbishments, they can be more complicated and require more steps to complete. Some examples of different types of renovations include:

• Conversions (e.g. Loft Conversions, Garage Conversions)

• Adding or Removing Interior Walls

• Raising a Ceiling

• Extensions

Refurbishments

In comparison with property renovations, refurbishments are more cosmetic than renovations. While a renovation may involve changing the purpose and layout of your interior space, a refurbishment is all about updating, fixing or redecorating the existing space. For instance, you may own a period property and wish to update certain aspects of it to restore it to its previous quality and retain the design and structure of the building. Refurbishment projects have more limits to them than renovations; however, they tend to be less expensive and can be completed quicker.

Some ideas for refurbishments may include:

• Painting and Decorating

• Replacing Certain Fittings and Fixtures (e.g. Taps, Lights, Door Handles)

• Upgrading Plumbing or Electrics

• Applying Plastering to Walls

• Making Any Necessary Property Repairs

• Kitchen Refurbishments

• Bathroom Refurbishments

• Utility Upgrades

Which One Is Right for Me?

Both property refurbishments and renovations are valuable home improvement services that add value to your property and enrich your everyday living once complete. Considering that they’re two different services, your choice will depend on the extent to which you want to alter your property, your budget and the duration of the work. 

If you want to expand your living space or change the layout of your home, a renovation will give you the freedom to do so. On the other hand, if you wish to update or repair the existing elements within your property without making any major changes to it, a refurbishment is the way to go.
