How do home renovations differ to refurbishments?

There are skillsets involved in both of these trade disciplines that apply to home renovations or refurbishments in Fleet but it helps to think of renovating as large-scale improvements that include changes to the structure. Refurbishments will focus mainly on cosmetic work.

Structural changes for home renovations will often need to factor in underpinning for subsidence and the removal of load-bearing walls.


Which home extensions add the most amount of space?

To gain the largest amount of room space for a property in Fleet, it is best to build up across one or more storeys. Home extensions come in different designs. The wraparound extension combines the designs behind a rear-facing or side-return extension for larger footprints.

Over-structure home extensions add to the current build, usually for a second-storey addition constructed over a protruding room space.

How does pitched roofing differ to flat roofs?

Pitched roofing in Fleet is easily recognisable. It has sloped sides and these converge upwards to the central ridge. Flat roofs, on the other hand, only have a small gradient and are “flat” in appearance. Pitched roofing will typically be constructed using slates or tiles.

Flat roofs use systems as coverings, like felt, EPDM rubber or GRP.


Is it important to address roof repairs urgently?

In our experience, we would definitely advise an immediate call to a service provider if roof repairs in Fleet are needed. Exposed areas will still be impacted by adverse weather, or by pests, and this can lead to significant damage to a home’s interior if left unattended.

MFM Home Improvements takes on roof repairs on a responsive basis.

Do driveways and patios offer a return on investment?

Yes. The amount of resale value added will differ based on where you live in Fleet, the materials used, and the standard of installation. Driveways are especially sought-after, and add as much as 10% to the resale value of a property. Garden patios can deliver the same ROI.

New driveways and patios can make any home appealing to a buyer.


What should I consider if thinking about resin driveways?

The most important thing to think about regarding resin driveways is the type of surface. Resin-bound driveways have smoother finishes and make the use of pushchairs or wheelchairs easier. A resin-bound driveway, on the other hand, can offer better drainage performance.

Resin driveways in Fleet offer a classic aesthetic without the mess.

We hope these answers to your questions will leave you feeling fully informed on our services in Fleet, and go on to inspire you to make that all-important call. MFM Home Improvements is a one-stop service and solution provider with the ability to complete works in-house.
