One of the objectives of DIY Doctor as a company and the DIY Doctor himself Mike Edwards is to help rid the UK of the cowboy builder menace and to these ends we have introduced a comprehensive system called HIPS (Home Improver Protection Solution). This system includes methods for finding insured and reliable tradesmen, checking any quotes you have received and also protecting your finances during your build process.
DIY and Home Improvement are becoming more and more popular throughout the UK. It must be remembered that whatever DIY job you are undertaking, it is essentially building work. DIY can be dangerous and we urge you to seek professional help if you are in any doubt about the possible consequences of your DIY Home Improvements. This website is UK specific and the terminology and regulations will not be effective elsewhere. Please read our Terms & Conditions before you start any work.
