Why HICL Recommends Renovating Your Home?

Home renovations provide numerous benefits beyond just improving aesthetics. Here’s why homeowners in the locations mentioned above, as well as Hampton, Richmond and Chessington choose to renovate with us:

• Increase Property Value – A well-executed renovation can significantly boost your home’s market value, making it a smart long-term investment.
• Enhance Comfort and Functionality – Improve your living space with better layouts, modern amenities, and efficient designs.
• Energy Efficiency – Upgrading insulation, windows, and heating systems can lower energy bills and improve sustainability.
• Adapt to Changing Needs – Whether growing your family or setting up a home office, renovations can accommodate evolving lifestyles.
• Improve Structural Integrity – Address wear and tear, water damage, or outdated electrical and plumbing systems to ensure safety and durability.

Types of Home Renovation Projects

After a one on one consultation with our director Andi, discussing your goals and budget, we will determine which renovation project is right for you. Our services include:

1. Full House Refurbishment

A complete home renovation transforms your entire property, improving both aesthetics and functionality. This often includes structural modifications, updated flooring, painting, plumbing, and electrical work.

2. Kitchen Renovation

Kitchens are the heart of a home. A well-designed kitchen renovation may involve:

• Custom cabinetry and worktops
• Modern, energy-efficient appliances
• Smart storage solutions
• Enhanced lighting and ventilation

3. Bathroom Refurbishment

A bathroom remodel can add luxury and efficiency. Key updates include:

• Contemporary tiling and waterproofing
• High-quality fixtures (walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, underfloor heating)
• Improved water efficiency with eco-friendly features

4. Loft Conversions

Maximise unused space with a loft conversion, ideal for an extra bedroom, office, or entertainment room. Types of loft conversions include:

• Dormer Loft Conversion (adds headroom and space)
• Hip-to-Gable Conversion (suitable for semi-detached homes)
• Mansard Loft Conversion (maximises space with structural changes)

5. Home Extensions

Expanding your home with a rear, side, or wraparound extension can create additional living space without moving house. Options include:

• Single-storey and double-storey extensions
• Open-plan kitchen-dining areas
• Conservatories and orangeries

6. Energy-Efficient Upgrades

Modernising your home with smart energy solutions can reduce running costs and carbon footprint:

• Solar panel installations
• Triple-glazed windows and improved insulation
• Smart thermostats and lighting

Planning Your Home Renovation

Step 1: Define Your Objectives

We will start by identifying your renovation goals, considering functionality, design preferences, and budget constraints.

Step 2: Set a Realistic Budget

Renovation costs vary based on project scope, materials, and labour. Estimated costs in South-West London:

• Kitchen Renovation:
• Basic - starting from £5,000
• Mid-Range - starting from £10,000
• High-End - starting from £25,000

Step 3: Secure Planning Permissions

For loft conversions, extensions, and structural changes, you may need planning permission from your local authority. However, smaller refurbishments typically fall under permitted development rights.

Post-Renovation: The Finishing Touches

After a renovation we recommend our client to not neglect deep cleaning and maintenance. This essential step will ensure a polished look. Consider:

• Professional Post-Construction Cleaning – Remove dust, debris, and paint splashes.
• Interior Styling & Decoration – Incorporate furniture, lighting, and accessories to enhance aesthetics.
• Landscaping & Exterior Upgrades – Refresh outdoor spaces with paving, decking, or garden features.

Expert Tips for a Successful Home Refurbishment

• Prioritise Quality Over Cost – Investing in durable materials and skilled professionals will save money in the long run.
• Stay Organised – Keep track of expenses, permits, and deadlines to avoid delays and budget overruns.
• Consider Energy Efficiency – Opt for energy-efficient appliances, double-glazed windows, and smart lighting to reduce utility bills.
• Plan for Temporary Relocation – Major renovations may require temporary accommodation to avoid daily disruptions.
