Did you know that around 70% of homeowners in the UK feel dissatisfied with the size of their house? When combined with the mass embracing of the ‘improve, don’t move’ outlook, this lack of space is the catalyst for most of the home improvement and development projects SR Builders undertakes in and around Brockley. No matter the vision you hold for your own property, our time-served team can deliver it.
Our skillset covers all aspects of domestic building work, from house refurbishments to property extensions, and new roof installations to loft conversions. As such, you can rely on us to create tailor-made new spaces, be it through improvement, conversion or extending.
Home Office
Employees up and down the UK have happily made the switch to working from home. While there are multiple benefits to take from this scenario, there is one primary drawback: many people don’t have room for a dedicated working space. Of course, when builders built homes in Brockley, and when people bought them, this wasn’t a pressing concern.
As a result, the early days of working from home involved repurposing the dining table, putting a desk in the bedroom or sitting out in a conservatory that was either too cold or too hot.
It’s little surprise, then, that many homeowners are investing in property extensions and loft conversions with the sole purpose of creating a home office. With more separation between your working environment and the rest of the house, and all its distractions, you can fully focus on your job.
However, you don’t need to commit to large building projects and new roof structures to benefit from your own office. If your children have moved out and you’ve got more space available, one of our house refurbishments is the perfect way to transform an otherwise underused room.
Extra Bedroom
If home offices have surged in popularity recently, adding a new bedroom is a traditional favourite. In many cases, it’s the ideal solution for growing families in Brockley. Rather than face the upheaval and wasted costs of moving into a larger house, potentially outside your established community, SR Builders can build an extra bedroom at your current home.
These property extensions and loft conversions don’t just deliver much-needed extra living space. They also increase your home’s resale value. When estate agents value a home, they take numerous factors into account. The number of bedrooms is chief among these. Multiple studies show that an extra bedroom added to an average house could bring about an increase of approximately 20%, if not more.
Depending on your budget and the available space, you should also consider the integration of en suite facilities. If your home feels small enough to necessitate an extra bedroom, there’s likely high demand for the bathroom too. This not only improves your household’s quality of life, but it also holds even more appeal with prospective buyers too.
Second Living Room
Much like home offices, creating a second living room doesn’t necessarily require property extensions or loft conversions with a new roof layout. Again, house refurbishments from SR Builders also achieve stunning results if you already have the space.
If you’re working from home more often, you may start to feel like you rarely leave your Brockley house. You may also find that you’re spending too much time watching TV or glued to your devices.
A great solution in this regard is the creation of a second living room, but without a TV or any distracting devices. These rooms focus only on peace, quiet and relaxation. You can furnish them with comfortable chairs and sofas. You may even find you want to create a small home library and a reading nook.
