There's no doubt that one of the hardest parts of a renovation is the planning. Visualising how to turn a dark and dated kitchen or bathroom into a contemporary, light-filled space, or a loft conversion into a bright and stylish bedroom, home office or even aplayroom requires imagination and a lot of technical know-how. But that's what the pros are for, after all. Roof window expert VELUX is one of those pros- call on its super handy and free Daylight Advisory Service before you crack on with your next project and all the hard work will be done for you.
