Spring is just around the corner
Spring is just around the corner
Spring is just around the corner and traditionally, the time for having a thorough clean up around the home. This is a time to reduce clutter and make sure that everywhere is spotless.
What better way to start than with beautiful, freshly decorated space? If you are going to move things around to clean, it is a great opportunity to make your home really fresh for the new season. With Wye Valley Renovation and Refurbishment, this can also be a very affordable exercise too.
Whether you choose a modern, high-key scheme like this customer in Abergavenny, or something a little more exguberant, our experienced team can either re-decorate from top to bottom or just brighten up a couple of rooms in a very short time. This also minimises the disruption to your household routine, and by getting the job done professionally, you will be able to get on with the rest of your spring clean in no time.

English Bicknor is one of the ancient villages of the Forest of Dean, situated at the top of a hill overlooking the Wye Valley, and once the site of an ancient motte & bailey castle, the remnants of which can still be seen. Close to the village is Bicknor Court, an imposing house some 400 years old. Situated between Symond's Yat and Lower Lydbrook on high ground opposite its namesake Welsh Bicknor.
English Bicknor is first recorded as a hamlet in 1066. A primarily agricultural and industrial area, its main attraction today is the small Norman Church of St Mary which has excellent internal masonry and sculpture dating from the 12th century. The original tower was situated centrally but was built from the soft local sandstone which became unsafe. The church is also interesting because it is sited within the outer courtyard of the motte and bailey castle. Norman masonry has been found within the motte, suggesting at least part was built in stone and while nothing is left of the castle's actual structure today, its location is still identifiable.
A typical early Norman defence work which is one of many along the Welsh border, it is thought to have been built in the reign of Henry 1 (1100 - 1135) or Stephen (1135 - 54) and was demolished or destroyed by the late 14th Century, but why and how is not known.
