History will be made when ExCeL London opens its doors for the London Homebuilding & Renovating Show this month (27-29 September). The show, sponsored by leading lift manufacturer Gartec, will be celebrating its 30th birthday with the biggest ever line up of property experts under one roof.
Since the first Homebuilding & Renovating Show took place in 1994, the event has attracted visitors with a combined project spend of £150 billion and has sold enough exhibition space to fill Wembley Stadium 200 times. Totalling all the show days from the past 30 years, the event will have run for over 450 days.
Nearly three-quarters (73%) of visitors have a project on the go; on average they spend nearly four hours at the show and over half (54%) say that the Homebuilding & Renovating Show is the only show they visit.
Showgoers will be able to discuss their building projects with leading industry specialists as well as book 15-minute expert one-to-one consultations at the Advice Centre (sponsored by Internorm). ExCeL will house thousands of products and services presented by over 250 exhibitors and visitors will be able to attend any of a series of around 80 seminars, including those at the Self Build Theatre (sponsored by Self Build Zone) and masterclasses at the Masterclass Theatre (sponsored by Kitchens 4 DIY).
Seminar and masterclass topics include:
- Designing and building homes in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty/National Parks
- A guide to reclaiming VAT
- Futureproofing with a home lift
- Planning permission for home extensions
- Converting to heat pumps and underfloor heating
- Creating efficient low temperature heating for the home
- Choosing aluminium for home renovations
- Turning an old home into an eco-home.
Ian Senior, Head of Consumer Exhibition Sales at ExCeL London, commented: “We’d like to wish the London Homebuilding & Renovating Show a very happy 30th birthday, in what we know will be a special celebratory event.
“The show is set to bring together the entire homebuilding sector, with more than 250 industry experts exhibiting at this year’s event, celebrating a long and rich history with ExCeL London.”
