Before you begin, you may find it helpful to check out some sites that concentrate on do-it-yourself home improvement, providing you with tips, tutorials, guidelines and advice.

Building work can be disruptive, intrusive and expensive. Potential problems can be avoided by planning ahead and being clear about what you want from your builders.

If you are looking to carry out external building works, or works adjoining another property, keep your neighbours informed to minimise any problems developing. Check the title deeds of your house for restrictive covenants, and seek legal advice if you need to.
