We’ve all been spending loads more time at home these days thanks to COVID-19 restrictions, which makes it the ideal time to knock over some of those home improvement tasks that have been on your to-do list for ages.
With quality equipment available for hire at affordable prices, DIY home improvement projects have never been simpler. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Re-do Your Doorway
Give your home extra street appeal by adding millwork frames around your front door or simply give it a lick of paint to brighten things up. You can get all the equipment you need to do a great job from our wide range which includes triangular sanders, hot air guns, spray guns, trestles, ladders and much more.
Add accessories such as potted plants, fancy house numbers, outdoor lighting, letterboxes and decorations to create a wonderful welcoming doorway.
Outfit Your Entryway
Make a great impression on your guests as soon as they walk through your door by building a do-it-all-storage unit in your hallway. Build a versatile and aesthetically pleasing storage unit from our wide range of equipment for hire. Get all the tools you need from sanders, saws and drills to painting and decorating equipment. With a place for everything and everything in its place, you’ll be able to stop hallway clutter in its tracks.
Give It a Fresh Coat of Paint
You’ll be amazed by the difference a fresh coat of paint can make to the interior of your home. It’s easy to freshen up tired walls and chipped, scraped or scuffed cabinets with a little TLC and some paint.
Plus, you can save money by choosing colours such as white or cream that can be used throughout your home and buying your paint in bulk. Touches of colour can be introduced by treating cabinets, doors, cupboards and drawers to a coat or two of bright gloss paints.
With everything from trestles, planks, sanders and steamers to paint sprayers and vacuum cleaners available for hire in our range, you’ll be set up and ready to go in no time.
Boost Your Storage Space
Open shelving will instantly increase the storage space and appeal of your kitchen, bathroom and living areas.
Modular shelving is available in flat packs from your local hardware store, and it’s easy to put together with only the simplest of equipment. Hire a platform ladder, jigsaw and cordless drill, and you’ll have all you need to get started.
Shelving not only provides additional storage space without taking up too much room, but also makes it easy to add decorative pieces that increase the appeal and bring character into the room.
Show Your Floors Some Love
Refurbish your timber floors to restore their characteristic beauty. Reverse the effects of exposure to dirt, dust, and high foot traffic and restore your floor’s natural glow and shine by polishing it with a suitable floor sander and polisher.
Be sure to hire the right drum sanders and orbital sanders to suit your floor type. Use a smaller edger to sand down wardrobes, cupboards, skirtings, and stairs. Seal and protect all wooden surfaces with an oil- or water-based varnish or polyurethane coating. Repeat once a year or every four to six months for high traffic areas.
These are just a few of the ways you can brighten up your living space and add value to your home using equipment, tools and machinery available in our range. Keep an eye on our blog for more money-saving home improvement tips and tricks.
