Are there key differences between home renovations and property refurbishments?
Many Bookham based clients think these terms are used interchangeably by builders, but in fact there are key differences between home renovations and property refurbishments. Home renovations involve improving or updating existing structures or spaces within a property, such as remodelling a kitchen or bathroom. Property refurbishments, on the other hand, involve a more comprehensive overhaul of the property, including structural changes, repairs, and cosmetic enhancements, often to bring it up to modern standards or to increase its market value.

Each type suits different property configurations and desired outcomes.
