Every home has a story. We'd love to tell yours.
Real Renovations is a new video series exploring the stories behind interesting home renovations, extensions and self-builds across the South West.
We're looking beyond the finished photographs to discover the people, ideas, decisions and challenges that turn a house into a home.
Whether you've transformed a tired old property, created a light-filled extension, converted a barn or built your own home, we'd love to hear about it.
More than just the finished home.
Every renovation has a story worth sharing. We want to hear about the decisions you made, the things that surprised you, the challenges you faced and what you might do differently next time.
Our films are designed to give people planning their own projects an honest, useful insight into what it takes to transform a home.
We're particularly interested in projects with something to say, whether that's an ingenious design solution, a sustainable approach, an unusual building or simply a homeowner who has learned a lot along the way.
Could your home be our next story?
We're looking for homeowners across the South West who have recently completed a renovation, extension, conversion or self-build and would be happy to share their experience.
If your project is selected, we'll produce a professionally filmed and edited feature at no cost to you.
We'll work with you to understand your story and discuss what filming would involve before making any commitments.
Your home is your private space, and we respect that. You can tell us about any areas or details you'd prefer us to avoid, and we won't publish your full address or disclose security-sensitive information.
Real Experiences. Better Informed Decisions.
By sharing the real experiences of people who have already been through it, we hope to give you an honest insight into what to expect, from the decisions that made a real difference to the challenges, unexpected costs and mistakes they'd avoid next time.
It's about learning from others, getting ideas and feeling better prepared to make the right choices for your own home.
Have you worked on a project that would be a good fit?
Whether you're a homeowner or a professional who knows a project we should see, we'd love to hear from you.
