Refurbishment is one of the most effective ways to extend the life of a property while keeping long-term costs low. In social housing — where budgets matter and tenant safety is a priority — high-quality yet affordable refurbishments are essential.
Source Maintenance specialises in delivering durable, budget-friendly refurbishment services designed to create long-lasting improvements without overspending. This blog explains why smart refurbishments are the backbone of effective property management.
