If you’ve recently moved into an older property in Haslemere or your current surroundings have been home for many years, you’ll probably have a list of house refurbishments and renovations to tackle. Our new house builders at Headley Property Services advise you to address the most urgent ones as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary costly repairs in the future or, in some cases, serious structural issues. We specialise in new build management and a range of home improvements, such as building repairs, all designed to ensure your property works for you.
We also design and build house extensions, wraparound extensions, loft conversions, dormer conversions and bespoke garden rooms and garden studios.
If you notice any of the following signs, contact our team for sound advice about your next step:
Cracks in the walls or foundations are major red flags which can worsen over time and affect the integrity of the building. Sagging floors and bowing ceilings are also indicative of stability issues. Our new house builders also advise homeowners to regularly check their roofs for signs of water ingress and other visible faults. As a vital part of any property’s stability, the roof is often, and mistakenly, overlooked.
Once in situ, mould can be difficult to eradicate. Moisture buildup in properties causes musty smells and is often presented as discolouration on the walls and ceilings. You might also spot peeling paint or wallpaper and flaking timbers. Mould can become a serious problem if not addressed on time, leading to airborne spores that can cause health issues for family members.
You don’t want a major leak in your home. Older pipework may need replacing to work more efficiently, as rusty connections can lead to major problems if ignored. We can address your Haslemere property’s plumbing when carrying out house extensions, loft conversions and other house refurbishments, ensuring your new interior is protected from frequently blocked pipes or pressure concerns.
If you’re experiencing flickering lights, warm sockets, sparking switches, or a consistent burning smell around electrical outlets, you must seek professional advice immediately. Don’t think the problem will go away; it may not. And you really shouldn’t take the risk. We will always ensure our work on new builds, extensions, conversions, and garden rooms is in line with current regulations and thoroughly checked before sign-off.
Although not as urgent, there are other indicators that your Haslemere home requires attention. These include poor energy efficiency due to older appliances, draughty windows and doors, and a lack of adequate insulation. Then, there are cosmetic concerns, such as outdated décor or a poorly considered interior layout. Our new house builders can easily address these with designs that will instantly improve functionality and style.
