Deciding to renovate or extend the family home isn’t a decision made lightly. Often it comes from a place of necessity.
You don’t want to move because you love the house you’re in, but you really need a dedicated playroom for the kids, or an adult retreat to unwind and relax.

Planning your Renovation & Extension
