As temperatures start to drop, now is the ideal time to tackle those renovation jobs that will help ensure your home stays warm and dry. Whether you need to upgrade your windows to make them less draughty, or improve your insulation to keep your home comfortable throughout autumn and winter, a clever renovation can improve how you live in your home, as well as boost its value.

Now is also a great time to plan what changes you want to make over the next 12 months. Maybe you want to convert a seldom-used garage into additional square footage or build an extension to ease space pressures on your home. Whatever your plans are, it's worth fact finding early so you know exactly what's involved, what permission will be needed, and how much it's likely to cost.

If you're not sure where to find this information, we're here to help. Whether you are a first-time renovator or a serial home improver, we've got all the expert advice and inspiration you need to create your ideal home with confidence.
