This is the second part of our mini-series on preparations for Summer Renovations 2025 in which we give you the 6 primary steps you need to plan any home, office or guesthouse renovations in the coming year.
In the first article, we suggested that step 1 would be to decide exactly what you want to do and can afford and step 2 would be to contact Libra Flooring, specialists in the supply of all types of flooring, blinds, shutters and even outdoor renovations like decking, awnings and artificial grass. We would give you a firm quote and assist you with any insurance claim you have for damaged materials that you might be replacing.
Now it’s time to proceed with the next four steps which would be…
- Choose your materials – Now it’s time for the fun part, at least for the ladies – the choosing of the materials. Your choices could also affect your overall cost though, so let us advise you on which materials will not only suit you but also align with the budget. This is where our motto of ‘A balance of quality and price’ comes from – as we are experts in this area.
- Choose your decorator or discuss your design plans with your contractor – At this point, you may involve an Interior Decorator you have chosen, but it is important to give us a good overall picture of what look and feel you are striving to achieve. We have many years of experience in this area too, so don’t hesitate to involve us.
- Prepare your dates – All that’s left for the main preparations is to choose your dates of supply and installation – and you’ll find that we are very accommodating here too – often working at specifically chosen times just to fit in with our client’s arrangements.
- Preparing the space and the people – Arrange in advance of the installation for the area to be as clear as possible of all objects that may impede the operation. It’s definitely best to create a separate living space if the renovation is the laying of a complete floor – and remember the kids and the pets. Create family living areas and keep the installation area off-limits to keep everyone safe.
