Dave & Liz Thompson have converted a former workshop in Keswick into a beautiful country home. The workshop has permission for light industrial use, allowing Dave to run his own joinery business from the premises.
Dave spent his days working as a joiner, returning home to carry on the renovation project with Liz. The couple carried out the majority of the work themselves, only calling upon outside expertise when absolutely necessary.
“Converting the property was the ideal situation for us as property prices are so high in the Lake District. Ploughing our energy into this project was the only way to make sure we acquired the lifestyle and home we desired. The hard work was definitely worth it, we now have a home we are proud of.”
“Although we were taking care to renovate our property in a way that was sympathetic to the surrounding area and period when it was first built, we were adamant a more sophisticated heating method would be integrated.”
“We had read articles on underfloor heating in building magazines and felt it was definitely something worth considering. We were keen to move away from radiators and called a few underfloor heating companies to establish the products available, see what support was on offer and check on prices.”
“We were immediately struck by Nu-Heat’s professionalism, which eventually led us to purchasing their system. At the time we did not personally know anyone else with underfloor heating so we needed to feel secure and at ease with the product. The backup, in-house expertise and advice provided by Nu-Heat meant we were confident with the system supplied and its ability to create a comfortable environment for us to live in. I can honestly say it has lived up to our expectations.”
“The whole process from initial enquiry, through to design and installation was fully supported by a knowledgeable and friendly team. Any queries were answered straight away, again confirming my faith in Nu-Heat and instilling confidence in their product.”
“We love walking on nice warm floors and in our opinion, you just can’t beat it. We are looking to build our fourth property, also in the Lake District, and will definitely be investing in another Nu-Heat system.”
Dave and Liz were awarded ‘The Daily Telegraph Homebuilding & Renovating Magazine Awards – Winner Best Value for Money’.
