Gorgeous glazing
Replacing old and worn
windows will dramatically boost your kerb appeal as well as improve your home’s energy efficiency and comfort levels. If you’re upgrading from single to
double glazing; you will definitely notice the difference in your home. Draughts will be a thing of the past and you’ll start relying on your heating less in the winter.
This will help you save money on your energy bills as well as reduce your home’s carbon footprint. For environmentally conscious buyers, this will be a big factor when choosing a new home. Our windows are capable of achieving an A+ energy rating and with a whole range of styles and colours available, you can transform your home.
Spruce up your front door
If new windows will boost your kerb appeal, then a new front door will definitely have the same effect. As one of the first parts of your home a visitor will see; it’s important it looks its best. A
composite door ticks all the boxes. It’s extremely energy efficient, secure and looks like desirable timber on the outside. With a variety of colours to choose from, your home will have never looked better.
Give your kitchen a makeover
The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the home and one that can make or break a sale. Keep it tidy and uncluttered; more space is always desirable. If having a full kitchen refit is out of your budget, consider just changing the cupboard doors and paint them a new colour. This will instantly bring it to life. A kitchen works best when filled with light and
roof lights are the perfect way to achieve this. Capable of being fitted into a flat roof, they will fill your home with natural light and give it a modern feel.
Show your garden some love
The garden is another area that can affect the value of your home. Keep it tidy and maybe try out some planting to make it feel like new. Bifold doors are a great way to blend your garden and home. With a concertina opening style that doesn’t take up any of your space, you can create an open-plan feel which will impress anyone who sees them. Choose from durable
uPVC or ultramodern
aluminium to create a door perfect for garden parties.
Pop a porch on your home to boost your space and kerb appeal
If a full extension for your home isn’t necessary or is out of your budget, consider a
porch to add some needed space. Perfect for storing coats, shoes and other bits and bobs; a porch will also transform the appearance of your home.
Here are five things that surprisingly won’t add value to your home:
A swimming pool
This seems like one of those luxury things everyone wants. Whether it’s to take a dip to cool down after a stressful day or to have amazing parties everyone will be jealous of; a swimming pool is certainly desirable. However, they can cause issues as can be very expensive to maintain. Also, buyers with young children and pets might be concerned about the safety aspect of a pool. Think very carefully before making a decision on this.
Surpassing your street’s ceiling value
You can extend and improve your home as much as you like but if your neighbourhood is full of smaller homes; you won’t see as much of an increase in the price as you’d like. Before making any massive changes, talk to a local estate agent to find out how much value you can add to your home.
Unseen improvements

Adding new plumbing or an improved heating system is necessary and can improve your home’s energy efficiency. However, it might not add as much to the value of your home as you expect. Potential buyers will expect a reasonable working condition for these so might not be willing to pay more for a brand new unit.
Making more space at the expense of a toilet
Many new homes now have a downstairs toilet or cloakroom. If you don’t use it much and want more storage, think carefully before converting it. It could become useful if a larger family bought your home or for elderly visitors or those with mobility issues.
Very personal décor
How a home is decorated can be very subjective and to individual tastes. We’ve all walked into a home and thought about changing every single colour and aspect. If you have very specific ideas for your home; don’t be afraid to experiment. Just bear in mind that some improvements can be harder to alter than others and this could put off potential buyers. Especially if they aren’t DIY confident and don’t have a huge budget for redecorating.
