Home improvement and renovation dreams turn into reality at the South East convention

‘Whether you’re planning home improvements, a major renovation project, or commissioning a new home, remember that ‘a home’ is more than just a financial asset, and lifestyle should come first,’ says Michael Holmes, property expert for the South East Homebuilding & Renovating Show.

The exhibitor line-up is extensive to help homeowners bring their projects together, ranging from architects, appliances, building materials and lighting to garden spaces, timber structures, doors and windows and much more.

With high energy costs and energy efficiency still on the agenda, the Home Energy Hour hosts talks designed to inform visitors of the latest trends and advancements in home energy and advice on practical and affordable measures people can take to make their existing properties leaner and greener.

The Home Energy Academy will help educate homeowners on how they can make the most of the energy in their homes, save money on bills and reduce their carbon footprint with free advice at the Advice Centre, sponsored by Internorm.

Visitors to the Ask the Expert Zone will be able to talk to specialists about their specific concerns including eco expert David Hilton who will be on hand to advise on building fabrics, heating systems, heat recovery ventilation, and renewables, including heat pump technologies, Solar systems, biomass, and conventional heating systems

Experts in the Masterclass and Seminar Theatres will present on topics ranging from building considerations for your home extension to How to finance your self build as well as Architect v Contractor which to choose for your next renovation project.

Sustainable and efficient kitchen design is the main topic for BBC1’s ‘DIY SOS’ and ITV1’s ‘60 Minute Makeover’ interior designer Julia Kendell, who will impart her extensive knowledge on interior transformations that uplift and energise to have a positive impact on wellbeing.

The Advice Centre will provide opportunities to book free one-on-one sessions with other property experts, designers, planners and builders including Homebuilding & Renovating Magazine’s specialists Michael Holmes, Jason Orme, Allan Corfield, Tim Phillips, and Sally Tagg as well as finance expert Tom McSherry from Buildstore.
