At DIY Units, we offer a comprehensive range of consultancy services designed to support UK homeowners at every stage of their DIY journey — from the first idea to the final coat of paint.
1. Project Planning & Scoping
Good DIY starts with a solid plan. We work with you to define the scope of your project, establish a realistic budget, create a phased timeline, and identify any potential challenges before you start. Whether it’s a loft conversion, a new bathroom, or a garden landscaping project, we help you think it through properly from day one.
2. Materials & Product Advice
The UK market is flooded with materials and products of varying quality and price. We cut through the noise and advise you on exactly what to buy, where to source it, and how much you’ll need. From timber and fixings to tiles, insulation, and plumbing fittings — we help you make informed choices that won’t let you down mid-project.
3. Building Regulations Guidance
Navigating UK building regulations and planning permission can be daunting. We explain what applies to your specific project, what work is covered under Permitted Development, when you need to notify Building Control, and how to ensure your project is compliant and safe. Avoid costly enforcement notices and retrospective work — get it right first time.
4. Trade Referrals
Some parts of a project are best left to the professionals — gas, electrics, structural work, and specialist finishes, for example. We maintain a network of trusted, vetted tradespeople across the UK. When you need a reliable electrician, plumber, structural engineer, or specialist contractor, we’ll point you in the right direction and help you brief them properly.
5. On-Site Consultations
Sometimes you need an expert to actually look at the space. Our on-site consultations are available across Surrey, Kent, East Sussex, and the wider South East. One of our experienced consultants will visit your property, assess the project, identify any structural or practical constraints, and provide a written summary of recommendations to take away.
6. Online & Video Consultations
Can’t get us on-site? No problem. Our online video consultations are available to homeowners anywhere in the UK. Share photos, drawings, or a live video walkthrough of your space, and our consultants will provide the same expert advice remotely. Flexible appointment slots available including evenings and weekends.
