Home Renovation Frequently Asked Questions

The most obvious reason to invest in renovating your home is for the personal comfort and convenience of you and your family. But also consider that you can increase safety levels, prevent more expensive repairs down the road, boost energy efficiency, and increase the resale value of your home by making key home renovation. Your home is most likely the biggest investment you will make in life, and it only makes sense to keep that investment in top condition rather than letting it deteriorate. Besides enjoying remodeling upgrades yourself, you can often later recoup them (in whole or in part) should you ever relocate.

Some homes have a shared driveway, which makes building and maintenance more difficult. There are two types of shared driveways in the UK. Some are owned by both homes, and other shared driveways belong to one home but are used by others.
The owner of a shared driveway is different for every situation. For example, one homeowner may own the driveway, but a neighbour could have the right to it. Ask the homeowner to look at the property deeds for driveway access rights. Whoever uses the driveway is expected to look after it. Homeowners are also not allowed to store objects such as bins on the shared driveway.
People must use the space equally. Homeowners can take a neighbour to court if they are using the driveway too much or blocking access to their home or garage.

All driveway surfaces have pros and cons. Some, such as concrete, can be more problematic than others because it can become uneven, allowing puddles to form, and can also crack. Resin-bonded and resin-bound driveways have become popular but also have their drawbacks, with the traditional gravel driveway continuing to be top choice for most in terms of cost, appearance, maintenance and longevity.

A driveway will increase the value of a property between 5% – 10%, but there is no guarantee. With more and more people turning to driving, having safe and secure parking is a must in the modern age.

Driveway costs in London depend on the size, chosen material, and preparation work needed. Home Renovation Solution offers a range of options to suit various budgets, providing both affordability and quality.

The most beautiful driveways can be spoiled by unsightly weeds emerging through the surface. Gravelrings does not have or require a geotextile membrane attached to the base. Instead it has a free draining integral mesh base which prevents the build-up of silt, discouraging weed growth.

For starters, think about using lighter colors; they really help open up a space.
