Since I moved into my current house in 1996, the house two doors down has been let out. The house itself is split into half a dozen bedsits and we’ve seen many different tenants come and go in the past thirteen years. No more. The house is being turned back into a family home.
For the past few weeks a succession of skips have been left on the road outside, filled, removed, and replaced. The work has obviously been intensive and the skip has filled with everything from fence panels to water tanks to bed frames to carpets to wallpaper and old plasterboard. The house has been gutted and work continues.
When everything has been stripped back and removed, it will be time to start building again. There will be new partition walls to create and a new kitchen and new bathrooms to install. Rewiring, too. Then a heck of a lot of redecorating.
The owner obviously thinks it’s worth it. In its previous state, the house served its purpose. Now, with a family member moving back in, the house needs to change to meet new demands.
You can tell where this is going…… Many businesses have got along just fine using the old methods of PR and marketing and advertising. But things have changed. The marketplace is more sophisticated, customers have easy access to a greater variety of products and information, and customers for life have gone the way of jobs for life. It might very well be time that you had a close look at that worn hall carpet and the mouldy tiles in the upstairs shower. Have you had the roof examined in the last twenty years? How about the paintwork on the windows?
It might just be time to give your local skip hire company a call.
