2 THE KEVIN MCCLOUD COLUMN 

A DESIGN FOR LIFE… 

the Kevin McCloud 

column 

Designer, writer and television presenter, Kevin 

McCloud leapt into our consciousness with his 

vastly successful Grand Designs show on Channel 4. 

This month, the affable architectural business owner 

talks about whether our desire for tech-driven 

homes is distracting us from what’s really important. 

Now more than ever, technology is entwined with our 

lives in the most intimate of ways, and the home is no 

exception. 

I recall an extraordinary build we featured on Grand 

Designs - a cutting-edge eco-home, deep in the heart of 

Suffolk. It was a wonder of innovation, bristling with solar 

panels, a greywater recycling system, smart lighting, and 

an intricate heating system controlled by the touch of a 

button. But the crowning glory? A voice-activated home 

automation system, capable of adjusting the atmosphere of 

the house with a mere command. 

It’s astonishing how much we lean on technology now, 

from the impressive to the mundane. Homes have become 

ecosystems of automation, where smart fridges keep tabs 

on our groceries, and app-controlled systems regulate 

temperature, lighting, and even security. It’s as if our 

homes have taken a leap into the realm of science fiction, 

and we’re living the dream of a future once only imagined.

3 

Yet, with all these advancements and novelties, we must 

remember the essence of what makes a house a home. 

It’s not the flashing lights, the touch screens, or the voice 

commands. No, it’s something far more intimate, more 

visceral. It’s how the space makes us feel. 

You see, amidst all the technological marvels, it’s often the 

simplest things that hold our affections. It could be the 

view from the living room window, where the morning 

sun dapples through the leaves of the old oak tree in the 

garden. Or perhaps it’s your favourite chair, worn and 

weathered, but moulded to you in a way that no other 

piece of furniture is. It’s in these small, earthy connections 

that our homes come alive. 

Who hasn’t enjoyed that moment of sinking into a warm 

bath after a long day, or savouring a hot cup of tea while 

nestled into that favourite nook with a book? Or perhaps 

it’s that cherished painting, the one that transports you to a 

different place every time you look at it. 

As we hurtle towards an increasingly digital future, I urge 

you to remember the real treasures of home. These are not 

found in microchips and touchscreens, but in the quiet 

moments of comfort and joy that these spaces afford us. 

It’s the laughter that fills the dining room during a family 

meal, the peaceful solitude of a garden view, or the simple 

pleasure of curling up in a loved armchair. 

The trend, I agree, is to envelop our homes in technology. 

It’s exciting, it’s convenient, and it’s impressive. Yet as we 

embrace this digital revolution, let’s not forget the beating 

heart of our homes. It’s the simple things, the tangible, the 

personal, that truly make our homes special. 

So, go ahead, install that smart lighting system, indulge in 

that home automation; but remember, when the novelty 

fades, it’s often the touch of a well-loved blanket, the 

sight of a sunset from your window, or the scent of your 

favourite candle that makes a house feel like home. That, 

there, is the true grand design. 

RAAC crisis chance to speed-up green retrofits 

RAAC panels were used from the 1950s up to the mid-1990s to keep pace with growing school numbers. However, as it is less dense 

than traditional concrete and has a lower compressive strength, it should be periodically replaced like timber roof battens, but this has 

not been done for hundreds of schools and other buildings now deemed at risk. 

Last week, the government revealed 156 schools contained 

reinforced autoclave aerated concrete (RAAC), of which 104 

required urgent action with 52 already repaired. 

A National Audit Office, NAO, report in June found more than a 

third of English school buildings were past their initial design life 

making them energy inefficient and expensive to run. 

An estimated £7b a year is needed to maintain, repair and rebuild 

schools but the Treasury has allocated just £3.1bn. 

The Federation of Master Builders, FMB, chief executive 

Brian Berry said: “Local builders may struggle to cater for the 

scale of the issue facing schools, as they tend to have full schedules 

for months ahead. 

“This could affect the speed of work like putting up portable 

classrooms, to ensure children don’t miss lessons.” 

The sort of sub-contractors expected to be in demand following a 

structural survey include roofers, insulation installers, and asbestos 

removal specialists. 

More than half of FMB members have said they are falling behind 

schedule as they struggle to hire skilled workers to fulfil their order 

books. 

It’s estimated nearly 20 hospitals, several theatres and other public 

state buildings also contain this type of cheap lightweight concrete 

which lasts for just 30 years. 

Construction Leadership Council, CLC, building safety 

expert Graham Watts said:”There is an urgent need to identify 

and remedy any risks to the public. 

“We will support the programme of expert assessment of 

structures, both public and private, to identify where RAAC has 

been used and to deal with it to make it safe.” 

Green retrofits could be a positive spin-off 

The National Federation of Builders said widespread remediation 

could offer the chance to conduct green retrofits. 

NFB policy director James Butcher explained: “Forwardthinking 

building clients would do well to consider how they can 

also use the opportunity to install energy efficiency measures. 

“Because RAAC is likely to be found in roof panels and wall panels, 

it is a prime chance to replace it with efficiency fabric as well as to 

install mechanic ventilation systems.”

THROUGH THE KEYHOLE 

Wood, you believe it! 

Sharon Chilcott discovers how a South Wales DT teacher fulfilled a lifetime ambition 

to mastermind his own property project. 

If stylish barn conversion Sgubor Fach, near Magor, 

features a wealth of solid wood, it’s hardly surprising. 

“There’s a lot of bespoke oak joinery. My husband was a 

woodwork teacher and masterminding a barn conversion 

like this is something he always wanted to do.” 

When Mair and David Biggs came across the tumble-down 

farm building, in 2005, it was a derelict cart house, part of 

an old dairy farm which was being divided up and sold. 

For 18 months, they lived on site, in a farm cottage, whilst 

they turned the traditional stone-built barn into a stunning, 

contemporary three-bedroom home, with a farmhousestyle 

kitchen and two light-filled reception rooms. The 

lovely old property, which they named Sgubor Fach, 

meaning small barn, retains some charming reminders of 

its former use, including the four large arched openings 

along one side, which would have been the doorways for 

the carts. During the conversion, Mair salvaged some of 

the discarded farm items and has made them into garden 

features. “There were some milk churns left here that I use 

as doorstops and a cow trough which I have put against 

the wall.” 

“The lovely old property, which they named 

Sgubor Fach, meaning small barn, retains 

some charming reminders of its former use” 

The couple set out to create a light and airy conversion, 

with a homely feel. “We also wanted to keep the 

atmosphere of the barn, which is 200 to 250 years old,” 

says Mair. Completing the project was not without its 

challenges, as the couple were fitting it in around full 

time work and commuting. “I was working in Newport 

and David was working in Cardiff. David was managing 

the work and we were coming back in the evenings and 

doing what we could.” Towards the end of the project, the 

pressure was really on, as the couple had set themselves 

a deadline. “I am old fashioned and I wanted to move in 

for my son’s wedding, so he could leave from his home. 

In the end, it wasn’t completed but at least his bedroom, 

the principal bedroom and the kitchen were done.” Since 

finishing the conversion, the couple have continued to 

make improvements, landscaping the garden and building 

a large block-built double garage which is faced with wood 

to give an agricultural appearance. “We use it for storage 

as well as for our two cars. There is loft space above and, 

subject to planning, we have always thought it could be 

converted to an annexe.” 

One of the reasons the couple were drawn to the barn 

was its location. “When we were working, it was lovely to 

come home to this peace,” says Mair, but she adds that the 

barn’s proximity to the motorway system was a real benefit. 

The couple were also attracted by the views and rural 

surroundings, overlooking fields and paddocks belonging 

to a neighbouring livery. To take full advantage of the long 

distance views, they have built a raised decking in one 

corner of their garden. “After we had been here about 

four years, it became clear to us that is what the garden 

needed. It has the best view in the whole place. You can 

see to Pencoed Castle over the fields and then turn round 

and look across to the Severn Estuary and the two Severn 

bridges.” 

Undertaking the barn conversion was an opportunity for 

David to ensure there is lots of bespoke woodwork and 

use of solid wood. There are double glazed solid wood

7 

windows, oak exterior doors and lovely interior ledge 

and brace oak doors, with traditional wrought iron door 

furniture. Bespoke oak and glazed French doors are inset 

in glazed side panels in the cart archways. There is an oak 

handrail for the staircase, a large downstairs cupboard with 

solid oak doors, feature wood panelling in the downstairs 

WC and unpainted oak skirting boards throughout. 

There’s even an oak telephone shelf inside the front door. 

“Because he was a DT teacher, David has a good eye for 

detail!” 

Mair has shown her own keen eye for detailing in the 

recent refurbishment of the kitchen, down to the choice 

of black light switches and plug sockets, which coordinate 

with her new design. “I chose them for a more 

contemporary feel from the rest of the house. I wanted to 

keep the kitchen light and bright with a pop of colour. I 

was after a clean look and it needed to match up with the 

slate floor which we have had from the start.“ Her choice 

of colour scheme also worked with the white dresser 

and larder cupboard she already had. The contemporary 

kitchen now includes a smart Range style oven with a 

seven-ring propane gas hob with a stainless steel cooker 

hood over. It’s a lovely large kitchen, with plenty of room 

for a family dining table and the space is flooded with light 

from one of the arched doors, which opens to a decked 

area, ideal for outdoor dining. Off the kitchen, the couple 

incorporated a compact utility room with a Belfast sink. This 

has a double glazed oak door to the front of the property 

and oak doors to an understairs storage cupboard. 

garden and arrow-slit windows in the end wall. Although 

there is ground source underfloor heating throughout the 

property, the couple have installed a freestanding wood 

burning stove as a focal point. Mair was determined to 

find a large log basket to fit on the heath beside it and she 

discovered just the thing, online. 

Between the kitchen and the large living room is a formal 

dining room, which features the fourth arched doorway into 

the garden. The couple decided to paint one end wall of the 

dining room in a burgundy shade, which gives a lovely warm 

ambience. Mair has furnished this room with a mixture of old 

and new. “The lovely little oak desk was made by a friend’s 

uncle and the rocking chairs are from my family and go back 

years.” 

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, all with lovely views. 

One has a fully-tiled ensuite shower room and the other two, 

a double and a single, share a luxurious, fully-tiled family 

bathroom, with a Jack and Jill door to the landing and to 

the double bedroom. For the two double bedrooms, David 

made neat built-in wardrobes. 

Outside, the couple have designed delightful, enclosed, 

private gardens. There is a large gravelled parking area in 

front of the garage, with a level area of lawn to one side 

divided from the neighbouring paddocks by post and rail 

fencing. The gardens include further lawns, with shrub and 

flower borders retained by reclaimed stone from the site. 

There is a large patio area and a gate in a lovely old stone 

wall leads round to the decking and lawn at the back of the 

house. The couple kept two original stone sheds (one of 

them once an outside WC) and now use them for garden 

storage. A wooden structure attached to the property 

houses the Geo Thermal heating unit. 

In one corner of the garden there is the raised, enclosed 

deck which makes a lovely place to relax and enjoy the 

views. Here, the couple have installed a playhouse for their 

grandchildren. “The garden is a very safe place for them to 

Probably Mair’s favourite room is the spacious yet cosy living 

room, which has a vaulted ceiling, two arched doors into the

Efficiently managing your VAT liabilities to improve cashflow 

VAT and indirect taxes can become cumbersome for businesses, with evolving rules and complexity. With a 20% rate, VAT significantly impacts cashflow, but there 

are strategies to optimise your VAT position and boost cashflow. 

1. VAT Registration: Any UK business exceeding £85,000 in annual turnover must register for VAT. Registering early offers benefits of being perceived as a 

credible organisation, reclaiming VAT on expenses before payment, and access to schemes like Cash Accounting (for turnovers up to £1.35 million). 

2. VAT Returns: Switching from quarterly to monthly VAT returns can expedite repayments from HMRC. Ensure you have the resources to handle more 

frequent submissions. 

3. VAT Accounting Schemes: HMRC offers various schemes to ease VAT payments for smaller businesses, including Standard VAT Accounting, 

Cash Accounting, Annual Accounting, and the Flat Rate Scheme, which simplifies administration for small businesses. 

4. Sector-Specific Opportunities: Businesses in sectors like hotels, construction, finance, and retail can benefit from VAT opportunities related 

to their activities, including reclaims for cancellation charges, construction services, fund management fees, vouchers, and delivery charges. 

5. Bad Debt Relief Claims: If payments remain unpaid for over 6 months, you can claim back VAT declared and paid on sales from HMRC, 

subject to specific conditions. Note that VAT recovered on unpaid purchases is also repayable to HMRC. 

6. Annual Adjustments: Businesses in sectors with VAT-exempt income or non-business activities must perform VAT partial 

exemption and non-business calculations. Annual adjustments allow you to ‘average’ your recovery over 12 months, potentially 

resulting in additional repayments or payments to HMRC and efficiency savings. 

7. 

Avoiding Late Payment Penalties: Introduce a direct debit arrangement with HMRC for timely VAT collection. Penalties are 

charged based on VAT owed at days 15 and 30, so consider partial payments if full payment isn’t feasible. 

8. OTS Reinstatement: Calls for the reinstatement of the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) have been ongoing since its 

abolition in September 2022. An independent body like OTS could simplify tax procedures and reduce the paperwork 

burden businesses face. 

In case of payment issues, our Banking & Finance specialists offer tax funding services to cover tax costs for up to 12 

months, preserving cashflow, avoiding late payment charges, and ensuring peace of mind. 

If you have questions or need assistance in managing VAT liabilities, contact our VAT team or your Azets advisor. 

We’re here to help.

connection to the past. Nestled within private gardens, this charming 4-bedroom property offers

bedrock of Vinegar Hill. The property’s connection to its original owner’s successful enterprise 

adds an extra layer of intrigue and historical fascination. 

Living at Treetops offers a lifestyle that blends classic charm with modern comfort. The surrounding 

area of Undy provides a peaceful and picturesque setting, ideal for those seeking tranquillity. 

Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by the grandeur of high ceilings adorned with ornate cornicing,

WHO SAYS BUSINESS 

& PLEASURE DON’T MIX? 

Investing in a luxury holiday lodge at Maesmawr Farm Resort could be more 

profitable than you think with domestic tourism and UK staycations set to boom 

Have you found a new appreciation for the 

natural beauty found closer to home over 

lockdown? 

You’re not the only one – new research has found 

that 83% of tourists would prefer to holiday in the 

UK than travel abroad this year, and this trend 

is set to continue into next year, bringing a huge 

boost to Britain’s hospitality and holiday sector. 

With holidaymakers turning to socially distanced 

trips that are locally accessible during this volatile 

time, now is the time to take advantage of the UK 

holiday market which generates over £9.3 billion 

every year in revenue – camping, glamping and 

lodge holidays have become a great option for 

people wishing to escape everyday life whilst 

minimising the risk of Covid-19. 

Enter Maesmawr Farm Resort. An idyllic hidden 

gem set deep within the heart of the Welsh hills, 

Maesmawr Farm offers a slice of escapism from 

the hustle and bustle of the usual tourist spots; 

this resort is the perfect place to restore and 

rejuvenate your senses, being nestled within 27 

acres of stunning landscaped grounds, boasting 

uninterrupted, panoramic views of the rolling hills 

and countryside of the mystical Severn Valley. 

Maesmawr Farm is part of the Boutique Resorts 

collection, founded by Mark Whitehouse in late 

2014 with the aim of creating a collection of 

boutique luxury resorts that appeal to those who 

seek peace and relaxation from their holiday 

time. Having worked in the industry since the 

1980’s and having owned several Parks in that 

time, Mark has accumulated over thirty years 

of valuable experience and insight into the 

holiday industry. 

This industry knowledge shines through 

everything the Whitehouse family does, as Mark 

has explained in a recent interview: “Our quest for 

delivering a high quality experience to our owners 

and guests is built on customer service beyond 

that of our competitors, with one simple value 

kept in mind: to treat people as we would wish to 

be treated ourselves. This is paying exponential 

dividends, as our levels of repeat visitors grows 

year on year and our lodge owners continue 

recommending us to others. 

We’ve seen a strong rise in demand for luxury 

lodge ownership and holidays in recent years, 

and industry experts are predicting the demand to 

continue to rise to a sustained level around 40% 

higher than it was previously, due to the current 

situation introducing new customers to our 

marketplace. 

It certainly seems that UK domestic tourism is 

gearing up for a sustained period of long term 

growth, which is presenting strong opportunities 

for anyone wishing to enjoy a second home in a 

secure environment that effectively pays them to 

own it.” 

With this focus on exceptional quality, Maesmawr 

Farm Resort offers stunning 2- and 3-bedroom 

holiday lodges for sale and holiday rental, and 

all of the holiday homes have been created in a 

collaborative effort between some of the best 

designers in the business. With outside spaces just 

waiting to be explored and discovered, each lodge 

available offers luxury furnishings, quirky interior 

designs and large private decks that overlook the 

beautiful countryside views. 

Not to be confused with conventional Holiday 

Parks, Maesmawr Farm offers long-term property 

ownership that can be enjoyed for generations, 

just like a cottage would be but with the additional 

benefits, security and support of being on a wellmanaged, 

private leisure development – and the 

on-site team can assist with all manner of things 

to make visits even more enjoyable for owners 

and guests alike with a Concierge-style service. 

Offering an incredible investment opportunity, the 

lodges here benefit from a fully managed letting 

package that covers all aspects of what is required 

end to end – from marketing to maintenance. 

Buy-to-let owners don’t have to lift a finger and 

can simply sit back and benefit from net returns 

of up to 10% with peak-week tariffs reaching up 

to £1,500 – and for those who want certainty over 

higher yields, fixed returns are also available. 

If the thought of a hands-free, tax efficient, 

high-yielding leisure property investment 

with additional lifestyle benefits in the Welsh 

countryside has you curious, then get in touch 

today for more information!

10 Reasons Why Regional Installers of Windows 

and Doors Are Better Than National Ones 

When it comes to replacing windows and doors, choosing the right installer 

is crucial. The choice can sometimes feel bewildering with everything 

from national companies, and regional ones such as Glevum to “one man 

band” builders that also install windows and doors. While national installers may be 

household names, there are many reasons why you may opt for a regional installer 

for your window and door needs. In this blog, we’ll explore the top ten reasons why 

regional installers are a better choice.The cost of new uPVC doors and windows is 

influenced by several factors, including: 

Local Expertise 

Regional installers have a deep understanding of the local area, building regulations, 

and architectural styles. This expertise ensures that they can provide tailored 

solutions that are perfectly suited to your specific needs, considering factors like 

weather conditions, energy efficiency, and design requirements. 

Personalised Service 

With regional installers, you can expect a more personal and attentive approach. They 

often have a smaller customer base, allowing them to focus on individual needs and 

offer a higher level of customer service. You’re more likely to have direct access to the 

decision-makers, ensuring clear communication throughout the installation process. 

After-Sales Support 

Regional installers are more accessible and responsive when it comes to after-sales 

support. In case of any issues or concerns, you can expect a prompt resolution, often 

with the same individuals who handled your installation. This level of personalised 

care ensures that you receive ongoing support and peace of mind long after the 

project is completed. 

So, which will you choose? 

While national installers may have their merits, regional installers offer a range of 

benefits that make them the preferred choice for window and door installations. 

Their local expertise, personalised service, and commitment to the community set 

them apart, providing homeowners with exceptional value, reliability and high 

quality products.

Faster Response Time 

Regional installers are generally more responsive and efficient than national 

companies. They are typically located closer to your home, which means they can 

provide quicker assistance, from initial consultation to project completion. This 

promptness ensures a smoother and more convenient experience for homeowners. 

Local Reputation 

Regional installers rely heavily on their local reputation to thrive in their area. They 

prioritise customer satisfaction and maintain a strong track record of successful 

installations. By choosing a regional installer with a well-established reputation, 

you can have greater confidence in the quality of their workmanship and after-sales 

support. 

Supporting Local Economy 

When you choose a regional installer, you contribute to the growth of your local 

economy. By supporting local businesses, you help create jobs and stimulate 

economic development in your community. It’s a win-win situation as you receive 

top-notch service while making a positive impact on your area. 

Flexibility and Customisation 

Regional installers often have more flexibility in accommodating your specific 

requirements. They can offer a wider range of customisable options in terms of 

window and door designs, colours, hardware, and finishes. This allows you to tailor 

the final product to your preferences, creating a unique look for your home. 

Competitive Pricing 

Contrary to popular belief, regional installers can often provide competitive pricing 

compared to national companies. Their lower overhead costs and focus on local 

markets enable them to offer cost-effective solutions without compromising on 

quality. By obtaining quotes from regional installers, you can potentially save money 

on your window and door installation. Whilst sometimes a “one man band” installer 

can be cheaper, do they have the same experience, level of skill and after care service? 

Local Regulations Compliance 

Building regulations and codes can vary from region to region. Regional installers 

have an in-depth understanding of the local rules and ensure that your installation 

meets all necessary compliance requirements. This knowledge helps streamline the 

process, avoiding delays and potential complications. 

Community Involvement 

Regional installers are deeply invested in their local communities. They actively 

participate in community events, support local charities, and establish strong 

relationships with their customers. By choosing a regional installer, you become part 

of this community-centric approach and contribute to a sustainable and supportive 

ecosystem. Glevum are active supporters of the local charity and sporting community.
