ENHANCE YOUR KERB APPEAL

A recent survey undertaken by MyGlazing.com found that 65 per cent of homeowners and renters felt an attractive exterior was important when buying a house, and 35 per cent admitted liking the colour and style of the front door was essential when viewing a house. If yours has seen better days, either replace it with a smart new design in keeping with your property or keep costs down by redecorating it in an appropriate, weatherproof paint of your choice – soothing blues, greens and muted greys are charming alternatives to classic black or white.
