Description

Home improvement is, for a large proportion of the population, an essential part of owning a home, whether it is an old period property or newly built home. As property prices go up and the costs of moving house increase, more and more people are looking to adapt their houses to suit their changing lifestyles- as well as to add value to their properties.

Removing an internal wall to create a larger living area can make a dramatic difference while fitting a new kitchen or bathroom will add value to a property. Whether you want to carry out a full-scale structural alteration or simply carry out basic repairs, 'Home Alterations and Repairs' is an indispensable guide.

Written by Paul Hymers, a qualified Building Control Officer, this practical guide has all the answers for improving your home, including how to plan and design your alterations; finding the right builders and contractors; sound advice on contracts, the law and building regulations; and practical information on underpinning, removing walls, installing windows and doors, and plumbing and heating.
