Renovating? Our Storage Facilities In Newmarket Will Help

Renovating is a big job and it can be immensely stressful. Our storage facilities in Newmarket will help. Read on to find out how.

With renovations, comes a lot of decisions to make, budgets to think about and mess. So much mess. It is unsurprising that we find doing them stressful. But, they do help us to create homes that work better for us so we keep doing them, no matter the stress.

If you are renovating, there are ways that you can ease some of the stress. One of those ways is using self storage.

Within this article, we will dive into some of our top tips when it comes to surviving renovations and how our storage will help.

Find Professionals

It can be tempting to try and do renovations ourselves because it can save money and there are some areas that you can do but it is really important to turn to professionals for things like the building work, electrics, plumbing etc.

There are many well reviewed professionals in the Newmarket area. For building, there is D Martin Building & Renovation Services. For electrics, there is Wares Electrical Services and, for plumbing, there is Duck Plumbing & Heating.

Create A Plan With Added Flexibility

When you are renovating your home, you need to have a plan. This plan should include a timeline of when things are starting, when things should be finished, what order things should be done in etc.

Your plan needs to be well thought out, well-defined but, when it comes to renovations, you need to be ready for some flexibility too because renovations are notorious for taking longer than first thought.

It is a good idea to chat with your builder and other contractors about all the areas that are being built. They may not want to commit to a solid date, which is where the added flexibility comes in.

Renovations are known for taking longer than expected and, although having a plan will help with the stress, you cannot let things taking longer than planned upset or stress you out even more.

Think About Your Budget

Renovations are not cheap. To renovate your entire home, you are looking at paying around £40,000 to £110,000. Knowing your budget is really important. This will allow you to talk with your contractors and they will be able to let you know what you can achieve on your budget and if there are any areas where you could save money.

Consider If You Could Move Out

Many people in the housing industry say that one of the biggest mistakes people make when renovating their homes, particularly when renovating their entire homes, is continuing to live in the house whilst the renovations are being done.

If you can, it can be a good idea to move into a temporary rental property or with friends or family, particularly if your entire home is being renovated or if major structural change is happening.

Take Breaks

During your renovations, whether you are doing any of it or not, it is really important that you take breaks. Renovations can take over your entire life so it is important to take some time to get away from them. It could be going out to the cinema, spending a weekend visiting family or going away on a holiday.

This will allow your brain to relax and to think about something else, even if it is just a couple of hours whilst you watch a film.

Utilise Storage Facilities in Newmarket

Finally, storage can be a really big help when it comes to your renovations. Using storage will give you a safe place in which to store your belongings so they are free from the dirt and debris and so nothing gets damaged.

If you do find that you can move out whilst the renovations are taking place, you can use storage to store all the belongings that don’t fit in your rented accommodation or within your friends/families house.
