Artificial Grass Should Definitely Be Top Of Your List To Complete Your Dream Home.

EEC Home Improvements recently heard from a concerned homeowner who had purchased a new build property. Their new home was everything they had been looking for. After a few weeks of living in their brand new modern home – they soon realised there was a problem with their garden lawn.

The lawn started to look worn out and unhealthy, spoiling the appearance of the garden. Huge bare patches where appearing everywhere. After treating the lawn with various products and raking lawn-repair seeds into the soil with no improvement, they made the decision to seek professional help.

EEC Home Improvements arranged for one of our expert advisors to complete a free no obligation survey to determine the cause and suggest a solution. We concluded when the property was built, waste and rubble was buried beneath the lawn and the soil was compacted too heavily, probably using machinery.

 The amount of damage, meant the lawn would have to be completely re-laid, so we provided lots of options and suggestions to solve the problem. Following a discussion about what they wanted and what would be best for them; they decided to invest in permanent grass.

 Take a look at how we transformed their garden with artificial grass to create a permanent luscious green lawn and a beautiful block paving seating area.

Mr John Ball Jnr “ I was shown several samples of artificial grass by EEC’s advisor and couldn’t believe how real it looked. I made my decision almost instantly. Quick installation and a 1^st class service from start to finish. No more weeding, seeding, mowing or watering, means I have more time to play with the kids on the beautiful permanent grass. Thanks EEC Home Improvements “

If you have had weeks, months or even years of back breaking weeding, fighting with your lawn mower and spending much needed cash on lawn repair solutions, artificial grass is the answer to your gardening issues.

Contact us today for your FREE no obligation survey and quotation for permanent grass and block paving. You could have a beautiful and bright garden as quickly as next week.

Outdoor Living-Rooms Are The Answer To Your Space Issues

Now is the ideal time to turn your thoughts to your garden. After a long winter, it’s worthy of some much-needed attention.

A garden refurbishment is usually pushed to the back of a long queue of home improvements, but gardens are an essential element to creating a stunning home. A fabulous garden is incredibly important, and a valuable asset to any property.

Whether you have a country cottage garden, urban, modern, contemporary, big or small garden EEC Home Improvements can create the garden of your dreams.

Working with EEC Home Improvements to design your garden will make a fun, relaxing and memorable experience. EEC Home Improvements will supply you with magnificent ideas, first-class advice and utalise all the space in your garden, space you didn’t realise you had.

The majority of homeowners are desperate for more space, but the garden is rarely considered. Make the most of your garden and create an outdoor living room, it can be the perfect escape after a long day. With copious amounts of well-designed outdoor furniture and heaps of accessories to choose from, an outdoor living room is available to anyone.

First of all, choose a base that will create the living area. You may prefer to have a decked base, block paved, brick paved, york stone, natural stone, patterned design or even permanent/artificial grass, the list can go – whether you have a big or small budget, there is an option for everyone.

Lights encourage people to venture outdoors; they create a cozy and inviting feel, so consider your outdoor lighting carefully. As well as enhancing the look, they are useful for lighting walkways and illuminating area’s you could trip or fall.

You may want to consider building a brick garden wall or have fencing installed around your outdoor living area; this will create a more secluded and intimate feel. We can also install electricity so you can have all the mod cons, stereo systems, TV’s and even a full working kitchen.

Whatever budget you have for your outdoor living area, any money that is invested will be very worthwhile.

EEC Home Improvements can assist you with everything mentioned above. We have a full range of industry accreditations and our craftspeople and engineers are all trained to high levels.

Get that perfect home you have always dreamed of…Don’t Move – Improve!

Ever dreamt of owning ‘The Perfect House’, with a bedroom for everyone, two living areas, an open plan kitchen and a games room? Well, if moving house is out of the question, you can achieve that dream with EEC Home Improvements.

Improving and creating space in your home can seem impossible, but with imagination and professional help, your dreams could soon be a reality.

Do not cut corners, get a quote before you commit to any work and always work with professional builders.

Take a look at the services available to you with EEC Home Improvements.

Garage Extensions / Garage Conversions – Garage conversions and property extensions can be used for all kinds of purposes. Perhaps you want an additional living room or a new dining room, maybe a study or an office. A garage conversion can provide an extra bathroom or a larger kitchen. It can be a playroom or even a home gym. A conversion well done will require skilled workmanship and should be carried out by a reputable and experienced builder. EEC Home Improvements are fully accredited by a number of professional bodies.

Loft Conversion – The most obvious benefit of having a loft conversion is the extra space that will be added to your home, which is a great solution for a family in need of an extra bedroom, or for someone who wants office space. In fact there are many reasons why people choose to have their loft converted. One of the benefits of converting a loft is that you may open up a whole different perspective. It may be possible to create windows that give access to a beautiful view, or even to add a balcony in time.

Conservatories – if you have a pretty big land area, having a conservatory is a great way to make full use of all of your spare land. This also allows you to enjoy the surrounding view you have in your home. Having a conservatory allows you additional space to entertain guests and visitors, and is a pleasant break from just having to hang out in the living room. Being able to reserve an area of the house for socialising or quiet reflection is a brilliant feature for many families and should help to keep family life happy.

Week 1 – XTreme STORM Bootcamp – The Fitness Test – EEC Home Improvements raising money and awareness for Queenscourt Hospice and Claire House Children’s Hospice in Southport.

A sigh of relief after completing the 1st of 17, military style bootcamps leading up to XTreme STORM – The UKs toughest assault course.

Ex-Royal Marine Commando’s Steven Howard and Chris Lancaster, who have both served in Afghanistan, owners of Go Commando Bootcamp, led the first fitness session  – which was demanding to say the least.

In freezing conditions we made our way to ‘The Leisure Lakes’, not sure of what lay ahead of us; with a mixture of anxiety and excitement we grouped together to receive the 6-week ‘plan of action’.

We were instructed to jog to a near-by open field where they showed us an un-completed obstacle assault course.  We were advised that the course would be complete by our 4^th Bootcamp and that’s where our endurance would really be put to the test. Zip Wires, balance poles surrounded by water, tyres tunnels, monkey bars, climbing frames and other scary looking obstacles were pointed out to us. Intimidated by the thought of the weeks to come, the training began. Running, sprints, high knees and lunges started with immediate affect (no rest for the wicked.) Ten minutes and a few punches later, without time to catch our breath we were off again, this time sprinting to our next challenge. Body Strengthening.

Paired up, sat in the mud and ready to take on the first core workout, we took turns helping each other complete press ups. We had 1 minute to do as many press-ups as possible, some of us managed the whole set in full press, others had to demote to a knee press (its all about improvement throughout the weeks.) Next up….Sit ups. This time, 2 minutes. After a minute and a half the moans and groans were getting louder, but we all stuck at it, adamant to succeed. Shattered and pulling our selves from the ground we heard the dreaded words ‘Bleep Test Time’.

With cones set apart by 25m, we were lined up as they explained the bleep test sequence to us. Starting off slow, sweating more as each level progressed, we started to drop like flies, one by one, falling to the grass, totally out of breath and legs like jelly. It was unpleasant to put it mildly.

Next challenge – 1 mile race. In the pitch-black, we waited for the whistle. Ice-cold winds instantly blasted against us whilst dodging barely visible potholes and jumping over speed bumps, struggling to keep a steady pace, we eventually split up and ran our own race.

Each and every one of us gave everything we had, all with the same goal in mind – XTreme STORM and our 2 charities. Bring on the next session we say.

EEC Home Improvements are competing to raise money for two charities – Queenscourt Hospice and Claire House Children’s Hospice. If you would like to make a donation please visit the link below.

XTremeSTORM will show NO MERCY. EEC takes on UK’s Toughest Urban Assault Challenge.

XTremeSTORM is a punishing 18-kilometer race with 35 menacing obstacles. A gruelling challenge that will push the fittest of athletes to the point of exhaustion.

EEC Home Improvements have 20 courageous and daring employees participating in this nightmarish contest, but it’s by no means for the laid-back or weak-kneed. The time has come to torment every part of our bodies; muscles we have never trained will suffer spasms and strains, aches and pains. Laborious and taxing workouts 5 times a week is barely enough to prepare anyone to face this STORM, but we WILL strengthen and we WILL turn out, if not for ourselves but for our chosen charities.

We will be battling against the STORM raising as much money as possible for two local charities, splitting the funds 50/50 to Queenscourt Hospice and Claire House Children’s Hospice, both based in Southport, Merseyside.

Queenscourt Hospice ensures that life is for living for those with far-advanced and progressive terminal illness by providing symptom control and holistic care for patients and their families, along with educational support for their professional carers, to enable them to stay at home as far as possible.

Claire House Children’s Hospice provides respite, end-of-life and bereavement care for children and young adults with complex medical needs, up to the age of 23. Also there to support the whole family, providing support and counselling for as long as is needed.

The event is anticipated to be televised on Channel 4, British Euro sport and ESPN, with 4 million viewers expected to be watching when we jolt from the start line pumping with adrenaline, passion and sheer determination to outrun the STORM.

Muddy crawls under razor wire, vertical climbs over sea containers, immersions into freezing waters and dodging through electric fencing are just a taster of what’s to follow. Around the halfway mark and struggling through the pain barrier, we will be forced to climb 10 meters up a vertical cargo net, followed by a swim in the freezing Marine Lake to fight our way to HELL ISLAND, where horrendous XTreme surprises await us. On our way back to dry land we will be beckoned to Pleasured Pursuit – where obstacles will construct a harrowing track through the theme park. Into the final throws we will be faced with  ‘Apocalypse’– in the words of XTremeSTORM – The final horrific assemble of pain.

EEC’s XTreme Team are honoured to attempt the XTremeSTORM Challenge raising money for such amazing charities, our minds will be focused on that thought giving us the strength to complete the 18 fierce kilometres and 35 brutal obstacles.

Months of strenuous training and harsh bootcamp sessions will pay off when we finally make it to the (what seems so so so far away now) FINISH line.

A special mention to our sponsor In It To-Win It who are helping us raise much needed funds through their website.
