Many people will turn their attention to home improvement over the bank holiday weekend.The upcoming August Bank Holiday will see many property owners turning towards home improvement and seeking out kitchen quotes, according to research.Steve Lees, writing for the Western Mail, said that as well as the conventional garden clear-out, many will make their "annual pilgrimage" to the local DIY store to plan projects.He cited research by Halifax which showed that 56 per cent of homeowners carry out home improvements every year, despite the recent recession pressures.It found that homeowners spent around £6,609 on a new kitchen, with double-glazed windows setting them back £3,646 on average."Depending on build stage, it is sometimes possible to make changes to layout and the dimensions of rooms, while many developers also offer vouchers that can be exchanged for a range of fixtures and fittings, making it more cost effective to add a personal touch," added Mr Lees.According to Joan DesCombes, president of Architectural Artworks, property owners often chase up kitchen quotes when they are looking to carry out home improvement work.Posted by Helen Sykes
