home, Turning ideas into reality is our passion

The name of Alun Carter’s business Creating Homes Ltd sums up the essence of his vision and passion.

“I love working with homeowners to turn their ideas into reality and make their house feel like the home they have always wanted,” he says.

Alun has a long history of working in science, customer service and the building industry and established Creating Homes as a way of bringing all those interests together.

The company specialises in home renovation, repairs and maintenance and Alun brings his years of working in four countries and wide experience of construction methods to the fore in often innovative ways while keeping up-to-date with all the latest research.”

“There is nothing better than the smile on people’s faces when they see the finished project,” he says. “We always aim to exceed their expectations.”

“Having renovated a number of properties myself I am very aware of the importance of listening to the homeowner and understanding exactly what they want then finding the very best and cost-effective way to achieve that,” he says.

Renovations the firm undertakes can include kitchen and bathrooms, decks and outdoor areas, carports and garage conversions.

They also do repairs and maintenance including fixing leaks and weather damage, dry wall repair and are experienced in preventative maintenance. Their nine-member team also includes painters and decorators who do both interior and exterior work including roofs.

“I have a personal passion for the science and environmental considerations around home performance including energy and water use, ventilation, lighting and insulation,” says Alun. “Simple changes can often be made to make a house much more comfortable to live in while saving costs on energy and water.”

“Homes are people’s biggest assets and when they function well they are a joy to live in,” he says “Making improve- ments to people’s living conditions gives me great satisfaction.”

“Maintenance is so important to keep a home’s value and, when done in a timely fashion, reduces the cost to homeowners of things going wrong that result in much higher costs further down the track.”

“As well as our own excellent staff we have developed great relationships over the last eight years with local sub-contractors over the last in a range of fields,” he says. “That really helps us to carry out jobs in a timely and efficient fashion. Everyone on the team enjoys what they do and we all work together to create the very best outcome for our clients.”
