Delivery times will be extended by up to 5-7 days as we deal with orders while following government distancing guidelines.
Please contact us via email to get an update on the progress of your order.
Many thanks for your patience. We intend to return to a full service as soon as we can.

DIY Doctor Ltd cannot be held liable for any cost resulting from delayed deliveries.
Bank Holidays
We do experience an increase in orders over Bank holidays which can lead to delays in processing orders. We will endeavour to dispatch all orders as quickly as possible. If there are any potential delays we will contact you directly to inform you.
Christmas Holidays
Will be offering a reduced service over the Christmas period. Orders placed before Tuesday 17th December will be dispatched for delivery before Christmas. We do our best to get orders placed after this date to you, however we know our couriers experience an increased demand over this period too so we recommend ordering before this date to have delivery before Christmas.
Normal delivery services will resume on Monday 6th January 2020.
Overseas Delivery
We do not normally deliver outside of the UK, however customers overseas wishing to purchase from this website are welcome to contact DIY Doctor directly using enquiries@diydoctor.co.uk and we’d be pleased to discuss special delivery arrangements.
If you have any queries relating to the delivery of your order you can contact us on 0845 634 2179 (or 01373 813 438 from a mobile) or e-mail us enquiries@diydoctor.co.uk.
Free Delivery
Where products have been quoted as having free delivery or delivery included, this will not apply for the “Outlying Areas” described above. Northern Ireland, the Highlands and Islands attract higher rates due to the excess delivery charges incurred reaching these locations. Delivery costs can be seen by entering your postcode into the basket.
Exceptions and Delivery Limitiations
Orders for Eco Solutions products by Express carriage should be completed before 10.00 am for next working day delivery (no Saturday delivery available). All orders taken after 10.00am Thursday (and before Monday 10.00am) will be delivered on the following Tuesday (exceptions may apply for bank holidays and seasonal holidays). This is to reduce the higher rates of damage and failed deliveries which occur if liquids are dispatched and held in the courier depot over the weekend.
Returns
We at the DIY Doctor DIY Store aim to provide you with as much information as we can about each product so that you can make an informed purchasing decision. However, to give you additional confidence, we will allow you to return any item if it is not what you require within 14 days of receipt as long as it has not been used and is returned in its original undamaged packaging.
All you need to do is to contact us on 0845 634 2179 and we will issue you with a Returns Form and Returns Code, explain our simple Returns Procedures and discuss with you the easiest and most convenient way for you to return the item(s) to us. You should then return the item(s) to us by the agreed method together with a completed Goods Return Form. Unfortunately we cannot accept proof of posting as confirmation of delivery.
Upon receipt of the item(s) we will refund the full value of the item(s) subject to them being unused and in their original condition and packaging. Unless otherwise agreed, you will be responsible for the costs for returning the goods to us.
Please ensure that the products are suitably packaged as we cannot be responsible for damage that might occur in transit. It is advisable to ensure that all the goods are unpackaged, inspected and repackage adequately before returning them to us, even if you intend to return the good immediately.
Faulty, Incorrectly Supplied and Damaged Items
If an item has been incorrectly supplied, received damaged or is faulty then all you need to do is follow the Returns Procedures detailed above. We will then arrange collection of the item(s) free of charge. Upon receipt of the item(s) we will refund the full value of the goods and any carriage costs within 30 days.
Any damaged or faulty items must be reported to us within 3 working days of the delivery date. If an issue is reported to us after this date we are not able to take address any issues with our courier companies and therefore may not be able to arrange a refund for you.
When your order is dispatched we will send you an email; delivery should be made within 3 days of this date. If you have not received your order within 14 days of this email please contact us. It may not be possible to issue a refund for orders that have not been notified as undelivered after 21 days of the date of dispatch (as stated in the dispatch email).
