SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
There’s nothing like being at a live event to hear our inspiring speakers live on stage, get tailored advice for your project and see, touch and compare the latest products in person. And that’s just what you can do at our London show this year.
Building a house or renovating or extending your home is both exciting and rewarding, yet it’s not without its challenges and abundant questions, before you even start! At the Homebuilding & Renovating Show, we’ll give you the confidence that you’re doing things in the best way, with the best tools for the job. You can talk to industry experts, the Homebuilding & Renovating team and our exhibitors to ask those all-important questions — from how to make an old house warm to what the government’s new Help To Build scheme is all about and how to choose the ideal glazed patio door for your extension.
