This Week on Site... Dust Gets Everywhere!
Whoever first said, "We'll just knock one wall down..." clearly never had to clean up afterwards!
We’ve been renovating our own home recently, and it’s reminded me of something I tell every customer before we start...
Dust gets everywhere.
And I really do mean everywhere.
You can close doors, tape up openings, cover furniture and clean up every evening, but somehow you'll still find a fine layer of dust on something you were convinced was nowhere near the building work.
It's almost like it's got a mind of its own.
People often apologise for mentioning the mess during a project, but honestly, you don't need to. We completely understand. It's your home, not a building site, and having people in and out while your house is turned upside down can be stressful.
That's why we always try to treat every home with the same respect we'd want in our own.
We'll protect floors, keep things as tidy as we possibly can, vacuum up at the end of the day and do everything we can to minimise disruption.
But there are some things no builder has managed to invent a solution for yet...
Like dust!
The funny thing is, spending this week living through our own renovation has reminded me exactly what our customers go through. Walking around furniture that isn't where it should be, making endless cups of tea in a temporary kitchen and wondering how on earth dust has managed to find its way into a room that hasn't even been touched.
It isn't glamorous.
But it is temporary.
The inconvenience only lasts a little while, but a well-planned renovation can transform how you live in your home for years to come.
So, if you're about to start your own project, here's my advice...
Buy plenty of dust sheets.
Keep the kettle somewhere easy to find.
And accept that you'll probably be finding plaster dust for a few months after we've gone!
Trust me... even builders can't escape it.
