People on plumbing training courses may find that their services are required in the future as homeowners add en suite bathrooms to their properties.According to Andrew Leech, director at the National Home Improvement Council, the modern plumbing available today means that extending a home and adding such a room is easy.Furthermore, it does not have to cost the earth."There are other potential ways around improving what you have already got without going outside the envelope," he said.If people are looking to alter their property without spending a fortune, then reorganising the interior is a good idea, as it can increase "the 'size' of your house without going to a full scale extension", Mr Leech concluded.These comments come following the publication of data by Sainsbury's Home Insurance.A survey conducted by the company revealed that an average of £22,730 will be spend on structural changes per household this year.
