New Year Home Improvement Resolutions

The new year is the ideal time to make a list of all the home improvement jobs you want to tick off before the clock strikes midnight on December 31st again. While you may want to ease into 2023 slowly, before you know it, the warm weather will be here and garden chores will take precedence.

So, if you want to make big changes to your property this year, here are some resolutions to start on straight away. 

Repairing your drive

Before you have guests over for your spring / summer barbecues and garden parties or playdates, it is essential you make repairs to your drive. Now is the best time to do this, with lots of people hibernating for the winter and leaving the socialising till it is warmer. 

So, whether you need patio sealing in Telford, a gravel drive or entirely new paving, start on this project immediately. 

Bathroom or kitchen updates

The biggest home improvement jobs have to be installing new bathrooms or kitchens, so if this is one of your goals in 2023, start doing your research as soon as possible. You’ll need to think about what changes you want to make, find the right appliances and furniture, and source quotes for the building work. 

Tradesmen are often booked months in advance, so if you want it done before 2024, don’t waste any time. 

Extensions

Similarly, building an extension is a major job, so if you’re keen to extend into the loft or add a home office, gym, or playroom to your downstairs, begin making plans now. 

According to Rated People’s 2022 Trends Report, adding an extension was one of the most popular home improvement jobs last year, and it is likely to remain so in 2023.
