How to expand your home without actually having to move

Whether you have an expanding family or you just feel the need for more space at home, the prospect of putting the property up for sale and finding somewhere else isn’t always an attractive one. Moving home is expensive, of course, and it can also be extremely stressful. For some people, the better option is to try and create some more space in the place they already have. Here are some helpful suggestions to do just that.

Make a bold statement with an extension

Extending your current property will seem like a major project, of course, and that’s exactly what it is. It can be costly, it will be disruptive and there may be times when you wish you hadn’t started in the first place. The end result, however, is a great deal more space and an opportunity to redesign the way you use the house. And an extension that covers more than one storey, should you have the option, will make a huge difference to your living area.

Transform your attic to make a big difference

In recent years, we at Tayside Construction have helped a number of homeowners to attain high quality loft conversions. The key is to make the most of all the available space, so the design stage is of paramount importance. There are a number of factors that will come into play, including electrics, plumbing, heating and insulation. It can be a lot of effort, but that effort is always worthwhile.

Have a think about the garage

A significant proportion of homeowners these days rarely use their garages for car storage. As a result, many of these garages will have gradually evolved into a messy, disorganised space that has become almost out of control. If these items could be sorted and stored elsewhere, the garage can then become a room in itself. Options include a home office, a movie room or perhaps a gym. The choice is yours.

Extend outwards with a porch

If you have the space, you could make a big difference with an extended porch. Many of our clients in the past have used such an option to incorporate a downstairs toilet, which can be extremely practical for all the family. The conversion could also include space for a new front door and storage for muddy boots, sporting equipment and suchlike.

A garden room for all your entertainment needs

There has been an upsurge in the popularity of garden rooms over the past decade or more, and it’s easy to see why. The prospect of heading outside for a meal, a movie or perhaps a major sporting event is a tempting one, especially when the sun is working its magic. Whether you’re looking to have a garden room built from scratch or you’re hoping to convert an existing outhouse, our team can help you bring it to a beautiful and practical reality.

More space and more pleasure with a conservatory

A conservatory at the back of the house is an excellent choice for a number of reasons. It will usually be less expensive than a standard extension, for example, and it will offer pleasant views of the garden. Conservatories are perfect for entertaining when the weather is good, and for whiling away a quiet afternoon with a good book. If you have the requisite space, the team at Tayside Construction can help you. It’s reassuring to know that our experienced specialists can help with everything that’s needed, including plastering, bricklaying, windows, doors and more.
