Employ A Bishops Castle Builder To Give Your Bathroom A Facelift

Posted on by

Your home’s bathroom is one of the most important spaces, and yet it’s easy to overlook. So if your bathroom is beginning to look dated or needs a complete overhaul, the good news is you can transform the room within your budget using a professional builder Bishops Castle.

Choose between replacing the entire bathroom with a newly fitted suite, installed by a Bishops Castle builder, and simply updating the current fixtures and fittings to improve the overall look and feel of the bathroom.

The best place to start is with your budget – you need to decide how much you want to spend on your bathroom before you contact a local builder Bishops Castle or Shropshire builder. Once you’ve set the budget, it’s a good idea to ask one or more Bishops Castle builders to visit your home to discuss the possible options.

There are a number of factors that will determine your choices, in addition to budget. These include the current condition of your bathroom, space, and size of bathroom. Your builder Shropshire will help you create a design plan that maximises the use of space and light, including the right bathroom tiles, bath, shower, toilet and sink options.

The last thing you want to do is make the new bathroom look crowded or small because of the numerous fittings. So it’s best to strike a happy medium and install the type of bath – traditional, whirlpool, spa, etc – shower, loo and sink you want and that are realistic for your property.

If you do decide to install a fitted bathroom, a professional builder Bishops Castle should also be able to project manage the process so you know when you can expect the work to be completed and monitor progress to ensure the work stays within budget. However, if it’s too expensive to replace the entire suite, it’s amazing what some new bathroom tiles and flooring can do to a room – and by hiring a reliable Bishops Castle builder, the work will be completed to the highest standard, for the greatest impact.

Shropshire Builder Says Hire Professionals, After Britain’s Cheapest Home Sold

Posted on by

A house described as a “bargain” after selling for just £8,250 is in need of renovation and local Shropshire building firm JFP Carpentry & Developments says it’s vital the new owners use professional builders to do the work.

The cheapest home sold in Britain to-date is based in Ferryhill Station, Co Durham. Having stood empty for at least the past decade, the two-bedroom terrace property is in dire need of restoration.

If this house was based in Shropshire, it’d be advisable to call a builder Shropshire and a carpenter from the local area such as a Bishops Castle carpenter. Professional tradesmen can advise on the state of the property, provide quotations for the project and complete the building work to a high standard.

The Daily Mail has reported that bidding for the house in Ferryhill began at a mere £1, before reaching the still-unbelievably-low sale price of a little over eight thousand pounds.

A young family has bought the “shell” of a house in the former mining village and will need to spend time and money on fixing the property. As well as having no ceilings or kitchen, the house has boarded up windows and graffiti on its walls.

This is why a local building firm is essential. For example, a builder Shropshire together with a Shropshire carpenter could complete all the necessary works on such a property – including carrying out general building works, installing a new kitchen and fully refurbishing the interior.

The buyer hasn’t been named but the director of iam-sold, the firm managing the sale, Jamie Cook had this to say: “As far as I am aware it is the cheapest house in Britain. To give you an idea, a garage in London would have sold for more than this.

“The vendor is very happy with the sale. The house was a bargain, but it does need a lot of work.”

Once renovated, some experts say the house could fetch in the region of £30,000. So with the help of the equivalent of a builder Bishops Castle and Shropshire carpenter, the new owners could make some money out of this property purchase.

However, the problem of the nearby train line that creates so much noise it “causes ornaments to rattle off the mantelpiece” is another matter altogether!
