Show, proudly sponsored by Anglian Home Improvements, is returning in full force to the NEC, Birmingham from
26-29 March 2015 with a record number of over 15 self-build, renovation and home improvement specialists.
Homeowners planning to undertake an ambitious house
project such as remodelling,
extending, constructing a
new dwelling from scratch
or revamping their existing
property will find more tailored inspiration and specialist guidance to pursue their
plans than ever before.
Throughout the four day exhibition, visitors will have access to
the latest products on the market,

held by experts and masterclasses
sponsored by Internorm on topics
including sustainable heating;
financial and planning permission
