At its simplest, the term ‘renovation’ means renewal. It is distinct from restoration as it involves the changing of an object and making it new using different materials and techniques from how it was made originally.

In the context of property, it involves taking an existing structure and renewing aspects of its layout, decoration or style.  At one end of the scale, it can mean redecoration. At the other, taking a ruin or derelict shell and creating a beautiful home from next to nothing. 

What’s the attraction?

For some people, the idea of creating a space that is uniquely their own is a big incentive. The growth in knowledge about design and planning issues, coupled with the development of materials and processes, has led to a rise in confidence and self-belief that means projects like this are not as daunting as they once were.

Kalkan Homes has been involved in a number of renovation projects and has the knowledge and experience, working in line with qualified architects, structural engineers, designers and builders, to ensure the renovation is completed, to the highest standard, according to the client’s requirements and budget.
