Things to remember
It’s important you get your head around the rules before making any major changes. You don’t want to have to remove anything you’ve spent time and money putting in place. We’re here to get you clued up.
Remember: have planning permission in place before you start thinking about employing contractors. This should be one of the first steps of planning a major home renovation. You’ll want to be thoroughly organised from the outset: failing to plan is planning to fail! Hopefully, our expertise can help things run as smoothly as possible.
