Renovating and extending homes in Romsey
In the town centre and the streets off it, Romsey's period homes call for a light touch and proper craft: matching brick and lime mortar, restoring sash windows and original joinery, and treating damp in solid-walled houses correctly rather than sealing it in. These are usually full renovations, with a rewire, replumbing, new heating and insulation done sensitively, sometimes with a modest rear extension where the setting allows.
Outside the centre and in North Baddesley, Nursling and Rownhams, the housing is mostly post-war and later, with the plots and structures that suit single-storey, wrap-around and double-storey extensions. The most common brief is an open-plan kitchen-diner with bifold doors to the garden, often paired with a refit of the rest of the house so it all reaches the same standard at once.
