Home Renovations in Ilkley, Bingley and the Surrounding Areas
Living on Site During Renovations? How to Survive!

So you’re going to remain at home whilst the building works take place? Brave move. Home renovations or property refurbishments of any kind are not for the faint-hearted. But if you’ve made the decision, then you’re bolder than most. In saying that, it’s not always practical to relocate the entire family whilst the renovations are in full swing. Family or friends may not be in a position to facilitate you. And renting elsewhere or booking temporary accommodation will be extremely costly.

Our building contractors offer clients in Ilkley, Bingley and the surrounding areas a choice of top-quality house renovations and home improvements, such as commercial renovations, house extensions and loft conversions. Learn more about our work by reading more of our company blog. We’ve worked with all property styles and facilities and understand how difficult it can be to remain on site whilst extensive building works take place.

Living on Site During Property Renovations | A Survival Guide

The following suggestions may help make the process a little easier:

Kitchen Facilities

Make sure you can access a kettle. It may seem trivial, but you’ll be amazed how much you’ll miss the comforts of your kitchen whilst our building contractors are creating the interior space you’ve always wanted. Allocate an area in the garage or living room for this essential home comfort, along with a microwave, toaster, and fridge. You’ll be glad you did!

Sleeping Arrangements

Even if you have to bundle the entire family into one bedroom in your Ilkley or Bingley property for the duration of the home renovations, our team at Topspec Joinery & Construction advise making this space as comfortable as possible. The area may have to double up as a living room for a while, so try your best to make this work.

Bathroom Essentials

At some point during the renovations, the bathroom may be out of bounds. This won’t be a problem if you have other facilities, such as an en-suite or downstairs cloakroom. But, if you only have one bathroom, you will need alternative living arrangements whilst works are in progress. Plan this in advance and have something organised.

Take a Break

To ensure our work is carried out to the highest standards, Topspec Joinery & Construction’s team don’t rush any project. If we’re going to be on-site for quite some time, then we advise you to take a break during the building works and treat the family to a weekend away. This recharges the batteries, and we highly recommend it.

Dependable, Timely House Renovations from the Experts

Concerned? We totally understand. When carrying out loft conversions or building house extensions, the majority of your internal space remains untouched. But, with major home renovations, you’ll feel disconnected from your own home in Ilkley or Bingley for quite some time. The results are always worth it but, if you do find yourself struggling, we’re on hand – and on-site – to help. We’re only a step away. For further information on how our building contractors can assist and support you throughout the property renovation process—or of any of our home improvement services, please feel free to get in touch with us.
