When Should I Consider A Restoration?
If there are areas of your property that are causing issues due to their age, they may need to be removed and changed to keep your property functional and safe.
Restoring parts of your property means returning it to how it looked originally, so you aren’t losing the charm and character of your home, while still being able to repair it and keep yourself safe.
These are some tell-tale signs that your home may be in need of restoration:
- Crumbling brickwork – If the facade of your home is crumbling or suffering damage from weather or simply old age, getting this restored can help you regain your curb appeal and get your house looking tip-top again.
- Peeling or bubbling paint – This can be an indication of water damage, or moisture is potentially being removed from your home, causing paint to bubble and peel.
- Bulging bricks – This is another telltale sign of water damage that should be repaired immediately.
- Marks on stonework – If you spot discolouration of any kind on your stonework, this could indicate a problem caused by water damage which will need to be restored as soon as possible.
Things To Think About Before Your Restoration
We’ve outlined some important factors to consider when it comes to restoring your property.
Return On Investment?
It’s important to remember that historical buildings are not for flipping, and restoration projects, if kept simple, can help you get a great return on investment.
Additionally, poorly restored homes do not retain their value as well as properties that have had the correct work carried out, so investing in a proper restoration will go a long way.
Consult the Professionals
To keep your return on investment high, consulting professionals who know how to properly restore properties will help you keep your home intact and safe while also helping you get the correct repairs and restoration for your home.
