run. For Michael Newton, director of The Plumbers M8, entrusting the help of a trained professional not only guarantees a top job but also takes the stress out of home improvements.

Michael said: “There’s no problem in DIY enthusiasts doing the odd job here and there.

“But we would seriously recommend they call in the professionals when tackling bigger things.

“Professionals have the experience and know exactly what they’re doing. Even little things like having the right tools for the job make a big difference.

“There are also certain areas that people should never tackle unless they are fully qualified – for instance, gas central heating and plumbing.

“The people who do tackle things on their own just end up costing themselves a lot more money in the long run.”

With more than 75 years of combined experience in the plumbing

trade, Plumbers M8 are well known for their great value and customer care.

Stocking everything from taps, baths and showers to boilers, radiators and even solar heating packs they’re a one-stop renovation shop.

Michael added: “A lot of people think about doing up their homes at this time of year and we can help with basic things such as guttering and down pipes too.

“We’re known for our excellent pricing and good customer service.

“We’re experienced in what we do and give people good advice. We can even recommend approved installers in the customer’s area to help things along.”

If you’re thinking of upgrading your kitchen, now is the time to think about the all-important layout.

If you’re lucky enough to have a good layout to begin with, you probably won’t have to worry about moving things like sinks and fridges around.

A quick word with your local kitchen supplier will soon clear up any doubts you have about what goes where. If you can’t

UK and Europe. We keep abreast of all the latest trends in the bathroom industry and both our staff and our showrooms are well-equipped to help people choose what’s right for them.

“We also have a new range of high quality, co-ordinated wall and floor tiles, including Listello tiles. We’ve

found that there’s a demand for good-quality ceramic floor and wall tiles. We’ve

listened to our customers and put in place everything they need to create the perfect bathroom.”

Installing a luxurious new suite can, however, have its pitfalls if you decide to tackle all the work yourself.

DIY can be a great way of saving yourself money, but if you’re not careful it can cost you more in the long

or even a new kitchen. With so much choice in the marketplace, a trip to a William Wilson bathroom showroom is a great place to start your search.

Packed with household names like Kohler, Roca, Ideal Standard and Bristan, and with plenty of bathroom suites and accessories on display, the

plumbing and bathroom specialists can help you get the planning right from the very start.

William Wilson marketing manager Dave Reid explained: “We have 11 bathroom showrooms throughout Scotland.

“Each one stocks a wide range of high-quality products from both the

annual spring clean is a must but it can also highlight areas which need urgent attention.

After one of the coldest winters on record, it may well be worth making sure your heating system is working both efficiently and economically as possible. If your boiler is already more than 10 years old, it’s time to start thinking about a new one.

Investing in a new A-grade high efficiency boiler can not only give you a warmer home but help you save money in the long term.

Unlike older models, energy-saving boilers convert at least 90 per cent of their fuel into heat and could save you as much as £225 a year.

Spring is also the time of year where many people invest in a new bathroom

IF your home is in need of some tender TLC, now is the time to spring into action. With the harsh winter weather

finally over, there’s no better time to spruce up your pad.

Whether you’re grappling with guttering, replacing tiles or even renovating rooms, spring is the best time of year to get to grips with essential home improvements.

And this includes projects that you can work on through the summer and into the autumn.

After months of freezing temperatures, harsh winds and snow storms, you should now be assessing your property both inside and out.

The exterior of your home can often suffer at the hands of severe weather.

Leaky windows, damaged downpipes, broken guttering and damaged fences are all very common repairs which need to be dealt with.

Replacing your windows is a big job, but carried out correctly it could improve both the energy efficiency and the kerb appeal of your home.

If you have cracking and peeling paint on outside frames, condensation and drafts, or find your windows hard to open, it could be time to have them replaced.

If space is more of a problem, why not get in touch with some local builders to discuss any extension plans you have.

Make sure you talk to a few to gain a realistic view of how long any project will take and how much it will cost.

For gardeners, the time has come to think about planting new shrubs and bushes.

However, if your garden has seen better days, a landscape gardener can help give your back yard a new lease of life in no time at all.

Incorporating everything from flower beds and trees to fountains, rockeries and even outside offices, a well-planned, landscaped garden can not only add structure but thousands of pounds of value to any home.

If you can’t afford to have the whole thing done at once, a good landscaper will be able to create a basic plan for your garden to grow stage by stage.

By repairing, replacing or building now, you will not only prevent further damage but prepare your home for the year ahead.

And with more daylight and better weather to help you along the way, you should reap the benefits of your home planning in next to no time at all.

Inside the home, it’s time to think about decorating and upgrading. An

afford to replace the whole thing, you could think about replacing the unit doors and handles.

Many kitchen units are built to standard sizes, giving you plenty of choice when it comes to updating the look.

Utility handles are also easy to replace and can completely change the style and feel of your kitchen very quickly.

Upstairs, the bedroom is one of the best rooms to tackle during a spring revamp. Creating an oasis of calm will not only help you drift off to sleep far more easily but also make your home more desirable.

Investing in some stylish, quality, bedroom furniture will help give your boudoir a luxurious feel and make the most of the space available.

Sensual colours, tactile fabrics, accent lighting and just the right accessories will all create a relaxing hideaway where your worries can just melt away.

So why not revamp your home with some help from your local experts and suppliers? By investing in your property now, you’ll reap the benefits for years to come.
