About Us
    Welcome to the 'About Us' section
     
    Don't worry we're not trying to sell you anything!
     
 

Old houses are wonderful: The driving force behind this website is our love of old houses, and we set out to create a website which would provide free practical information relating to their renovation, refurbishment and improvement. The features, editorial, and photographs on this website were put together by us, they are of real projects we've undertaken, and we hope they will be of real benefit to the DIY enthusiast.

We take a realistic approach to house restoration and improvement, and to us this means working with very limited financial resources, so we get our hands dirty, and only call in a professional when its not practical for us to do the work ourselves (i.e. like gas or major electrical work where safety standards are involved).

Unbiased editorial: We are not linked to any manufactures, nor are we looking to sell DIY products. Our editorial is unbiased and independent, so if in the house refurbishment process we come across a product or service which is substandard, we'll report it as such.

   
 

Always check the Building Regulations:The editorial on this website conformed with English Building Regulations at the time of writing, however regulations and specifications are frequently revised so we strongly recommend you check the current Building Regulations before you set off on any building or refurbishment project. See the UK Government's online planning and building regulations site Planning Portal (www.planningportal.gov.uk)

Questions: We regret that we don't have the resources to answer your specific home renovation questions, but we do hope you find our articles useful and we wish you well with your projects.

Good luck
