Why is spring the best time for home renovations?
The birds are singing and the dark winter days are almost behind us; Spring is the perfect time to finally tackle that long list of DIY jobs or kick off a home renovation project.
The weather conditions and long daylight hours in spring often mean it’s easier and quicker for suppliers to complete works on your home, which can also mean less budget spent on labour.
Renovation Ideas for the Spring Season
Whether you have recently moved into a property or plan to make renovations on your own home, it’s important you consider your project’s return on investment both in monetary form and enjoyment for you and your family. From small home improvement, to larger installation projects, here we look at our top 5 renovation ideas for the spring season.
Bathroom refurbs
Installing a new bathroom will not only create a relaxing space for you to unwind at the end of a long day but will also add value to your home. Kitchen and bathroom renovations are often top the list for popular home improvement projects that offer the best ROI. The best approach to fitting a new boiler might be the summer instead, as spring temperatures might still ask for daily boiler use.
We’ve got the tools and the team to help you build your dream bathroom, whether you’re simply wanting to renovate an existing bathroom, convert that box room into an en-suite, or you’re building a new home entirely. Find out more about our bathroom refurbs.
Underfloor heating
As we enter the warmer months, you may overlook the idea of installing underfloor heating in spring. However, underfloor heating systems can be used all year round and are completely autonomous, only heating the house if and when it’s needed.
It may seem like a luxury for many but when installed correctly underfloor heating is a great alternative heating system that’s better for the environment and will save you money on your
energy bills. Depending on the type of underfloor heating you have, it can heat up in as little as 30 minutes and can be fitted in most rooms under many different types of flooring.

New boiler installations
Installing a new boiler is a big investment meaning it’s very tempting to ignore any issue until it’s too late and you are left without warm water.
Similar to bathrooms, efficient central heating makes for a warmer home and will definitely appeal to buyers if you decide to sell your property.
Spring is the perfect time to action a boiler check. Our Gas Safe heating engineers will run fault diagnostics to identify any problems, and if your boiler can’t be repaired economically, then we’ll install a brand new one.

Power flushing
The spring season is all about cleaning out and freshening up our homes. That’s exactly what a power flush does.
With more than 80% of boiler breakdowns being due to dirty water running through your heating system, it’s likely most homeowners need to treat their boiler to a power flush. This will extensively clean your boiler, radiators and pipes without having to remove any parts so there’s no risk of physical damage to your system.
We have selected a set of spring plumbing tips for you to help you prepare for the new season.
