For a long while DIY Doctor has been trying to combat the effects of Cowboy Builders in our industry. We have published articles on Cowboy Builders and how the country loses millions of pounds because the majority of tradespeople in this country do not have any form of insurance to protect their customers.
We have now joined forces with Quotatis who will not allow tradespeople to join their data-base without the relevant insurances. They are also thoroughly vetted and references are followed up to ensure you only receive free quotes from the best of the bunch.
Click into any of our project pages or look at our Find a Tradesman page to be sure to beat the cowboys.

I need to create pipework from my new garage to the nearby drain (as indicated by building control officer).
The inspection pit is concrete sections with clay pipe at a depth of one metre. Is it accepted practice to break into the pit with a hammer and chisel? If so, at what depth? What diameter pipe to use? and any other info please.
