5 Reasons to Finally Invest in That Extension

Many UK homeowners ponder whether to get an extension for many years before committing. And once they do, they often end up asking themselves why it too so long to make one of their best decisions ever. So, if you’ve been thinking about it for a while, it’s time to decide what type of extension you want – one-storey, two-storey or loft conversion.

There are so many reasons why extending your property is a good idea. Here are just 5:

•          Gain more living space – Whether you have a growing family or just want to make better use of your property, an extension gives more living space and can allow you to add a few luxuries such as an en-suite bathroom or playroom.

•          Change your lifestyle – It might be that you’re working from home more and want a dedicated space, or maybe installing some gym equipment at home would give you greater flexibility in managing your schedule. Whatever the reason, an extension allows you to adapt your home to match your desired lifestyle.

•          Create harmony – This may seem a bit twee, but think about it. What difference would a second bathroom make first thing in the morning? What about proper family meals in a bigger kitchen?

•          Modernise your home – Redesign your home to give it a more contemporary design. It will improve your interior décor options and allow you to add a few mod cons

•          Add value – The cost of an extension is swallowed up in the value it adds.

At Byko UK, we offer building and decorating services to clients across Leicester and the surrounding areas. Get in touch today and let’s see what difference an extension could make to your life.

Improve; don’t move with a loft extension

If you have a growing family or you’re planning to spend more time working from home from now on, you may be looking at moving house to adapt to your new circumstances. But moving home can be stressful and expensive – besides, you may not be ready to up and leave because of your location, proximity to friends and family, or the memories you’ve made where you are.

A loft extension can provide the extra room you need at a fraction of the cost and without the hassle that comes with moving. Many people find their loft is full of junk they couldn’t be bothered to take to the tip and is nothing more than wasted space.

A loft conversion makes use of the space and adds value to your home which will exceed its construction costs – so you make your money back instantly!

At Byko UK, we offer building services across Leicester and the surrounding area. So, whether it’s a loft conversion or any other building project you’re planning, get in touch. Our experienced team are waiting to help you convert your home to reflect your changing lifestyle.

Time for a spring clean and spruce up?

When spring arrives, it’s natural to want to have a bit of a tidy-up around the home. The brighter weather means you don’t mind having the windows and doors open and gives you an added spring in your step. And after spending so long indoors over the last 12 months, that’d the case in 2021.

At Byko UK we understand that, for all your good intentions, life will soon go back to normal and those things that get in the way will start to do so again; work, shopping, ferrying kids about, and just grabbing a few minutes to yourself when you get the chance can lead to many of those little maintenance jobs getting put on the back burner again.

But fear not. We’re here to help. Whether you need a builder in Leicester for a construction project or someone to take care of painting and decorating, fixing leaky taps, or hanging pictures – we’re experts in all aspects of home maintenance.

Likewise, if you need a plasterer or you have a bigger project planning such as a loft conversion, we can help with that too.

Whatever your home maintenance needs, give us a call.

Spruce up 2021 with the help of a professional painter and decorator

It’s common for people to plan their interior decorating for springtime – after all that’s when the DIY stores start their promotions and bring out their offers. But is that really the best time to decorate your home? Many of us find January and February ‘wasted months’ as we don’t really do much. Then when March comes along we suddenly busy ourselves with decorating the home at the same time that the garden needs some love and attention. Why? Because the grey days of those first two months leave is feeling lethargic. But there is another way.

At Byko UK we can you offer you a painter and decorator service in Leicester at reasonable rates so you get your home decorated now – not when you’re at your busiest. Imagine having the time to make the most of your garden and then being able to settle down at the end of the day in your newly decorated room rather than somewhere that is half-finished and has DIY equipment strewn everywhere. So, make use of these grey months and add colour to the whole of 2021 by getting the decorating sorted early.

Benefits of insulating your home

There are many benefits to insulating your home which can help to conserve energy, cut energy costs and protect your home in the long run.

The first and most obvious is that your home retains heat for longer meaning you use less energy. An added benefit of having the heating on for less time is that your home becomes less stuffy and more comfortable to live in.

Without insulation your home is more likely to have condensation and will lose heat through the walls which can lead to damp which can cause mould, degrade paint and plaster or cause wallpaper to come unstuck. Damp inside the home can also lead to respiratory problems.

It can also help to reduce noise from outside which contributes to your wellbeing and also makes the home a more pleasant environment.

At Byko UK, a leading builder inLeicester, we can insulate your homes to bring you all these benefits, saving you money and reducing your carbon footprint. As the cold weather hits many of us turn to ways to save on heating bills as we realise how much we spend on them.
