Home Improver Protection – How to Protect Yourself, Your Home and Your Money During Home Improvement Works

It is our intention to become the UK's leading resource for the protection of home improvers against cowboy builders. The DIY Doctor Home Improver Protection programme is a 4-step programme built by builders and home-improvers together after 2 years of research and surveys.

Firstly, use Price Doctor to check your proposed extension design and price it. You can alter the design to suit your budget and, because Price Doctor gives you a breakdown of materials and labour prices, you are in a strong position to negotiate with your builders.

Step 1

Click through a series of simple screens to design and cost your extension to ensure your tradesman’s quotes are accurate.

Step 4

DIY Doctor has looked at all of the "Lead Generation" companies on the market who offer to find tradesmen for you. Most of these guys do not ensure their tradesmen are insured and we suggest that you absolutely refuse to use a tradesman who is not insured.
