Exterior Renovation: Transform Your Home's Kerb Appeal
Exterior renovation delivers the best return on investment for any home. Studies show that curb appeal accounts for 60% of the emotional decision to buy a property, the "love-at-first-sight" effect.
Beyond aesthetics, renovating your exterior is often the perfect opportunity to add External Wall Insulation (EWI) at the same time, improving both the look and the energy performance in one project. The most dramatic transformations tend to involve 1970s and 80s houses: removing heavy corbelling, changing balustrades, and lightening the wall colour can shave decades off a property's perceived age.

Renovation Tip
Before settling on a colour, check your local planning authority's guidelines. Some conservation areas and listed buildings have strict requirements on external finishes. It would be a shame to have to repaint everything!
Use the scaffolding as an opportunity to inspect gutters and roof overhangs. It's the ideal time to replace them with modern powder-coated aluminium systems.
