Vote for what you want
Real problems people wish someone would solve. Pick a category, read the pain point, and vote — your demand helps businesses know what to build.
I need building regs approval and the paperwork is doing my head in
Full plans, building notice, competent person schemes — the council website assumes you're a surveyor. Getting it wrong delays mortgage release. Would you pay for a building regs application handling service?
Our conservatory is too hot in summer and too cold in winter
It's either a greenhouse or a fridge with a sofa nobody sits on. Replacing the roof or knocking through needs proper advice not a cold-call salesman. Would you vote for a conservatory insulation and upgrade survey?
We want to renovate a buy-to-let without nightmare tenants calling daily
Refurb between tenancies is a two-week sprint with trades stacking up wrong. Cost overruns eat the year's profit before the first rent lands. Would you use a landlord refurb project manager?
The cellar could be storage or a gym if it wasn't damp
Tank and membrane systems sound expensive until you've lost another box of photos to mould. Damp specialists and builders blame each other. Would you pay for a cellar damp proof and finish package?
I need a new front door that actually keeps the heat in
The current one draughts, sticks in summer, and looks tired on the street. Composite, uPVC, and hardwood advice contradicts itself online. Would you book a measured door supply and fit with energy rating advice?
Our flat roof leaks every autumn and patch jobs don't last
Buckets in the spare room aren't a long-term strategy but full replacement quotes vary madly. Flat roof specialists are rarer than you'd think. Would you use a flat roof survey with repair-or-replace clarity?
We want open-plan living but the chimney breast decision is paralysing us
Keeping it wastes space; removing it needs steel, soot, and nerves of steel. Pinterest never shows the three weeks of rubble bags. Would you pay for a chimney breast removal with structural guarantee?
I need plastering after DIY disasters I'm too ashamed to show anyone
Skim coat videos made it look easy until the ceiling met the floor in dusty waves. Finding a plasterer who'll fix small rooms without a six-month wait is the real job. Would you vote for a room rescue plastering service?
Our stairs creak, wobble, and look like a safety hazard
Carpet hides a lot but the kids race up them and something feels wrong. Structural repairs vs cosmetic refresh is impossible to judge alone. Would you pay for a staircase inspection and repair quote?
The garage conversion needs doing before the baby arrives
Damp proofing, ventilation, and permitted development rules weren't on the nursery checklist. Builders quote 'when we finish the job we're on'. Would you use a fast-track garage-to-room conversion service?
I want to replace single-glazed windows without freezing the house for weeks
Draughts and condensation are ruining the sills but fitting schedules slip into winter. Cheap installs void guarantees and leak within a year. Would you book a measured window replacement with minimal disruption?
Our extension quote came back at twice the budget and we feel stuck
Architect fees, planning, and build costs stack up before you've moved a brick. Value engineering always seems to mean 'smaller and uglier'. Would you pay for an extension cost planner with realistic UK pricing?
The loft could be a bedroom but insulation and building regs scare us off
Head height, fire escape, and Part L compliance turn a Pinterest idea into a planning headache. Cowboy conversions fail mortgage surveys later. Would you use a turnkey loft conversion with regs sign-off?
I need a wall knocked through but nobody will confirm if it's load-bearing
The structural engineer fee comes before you even know if the dream is possible. Cowboy knock-throughs have collapsed ceilings on the news. Would you vote for a load-bearing survey plus builder package?
Our bathroom is mouldy, cramped, and stuck in 1998
Regrouting bought us a year but the fan's useless and the tiles are porous. Full refits mean weeks without a shower and builders who vanish mid-job. Would you pay for a bathroom makeover with temporary wet-room hire?
We've outgrown the kitchen but every builder wants six months' lead time
Quotes arrive as vague PDFs with 'allowance for contingencies' that double the price. Living on microwave meals through a rip-out wasn't in the plan. Would you use a kitchen refurb with a fixed timeline and staged living setup?
My smoke alarms are beeping at 3am and I can't tell which one
Mains-linked detectors from different eras don't talk to each other properly. Battery swaps last a week before another chirp starts. Would you pay for a whole-house smoke and CO alarm upgrade?
The garden room needs power but I don't want trenches ruining the lawn
Shed offices, hot tubs, and summer houses all need more than an extension reel. Armoured cable routes and RCBO protection aren't weekend jobs. Would you vote for a garden building electrical connection service?
I need a landlord electrical safety certificate without the runaround
Tenants move in Monday and the last electrician cancelled twice. EICR failures mean urgent fixes with no clear pricing. Would you use a landlord-focused electrical inspection and repair service?
My electric shower is lukewarm and winter mornings are miserable
Scaling, failing elements, or inadequate supply — you won't know until someone tests it properly. Replacing the whole unit blind is an expensive gamble. Would you pay for a shower electrical fault diagnosis?
Our loft conversion needs an electrical certificate before we can rent it
The builder left and now the council wants Part P paperwork nobody can find. Retrospective sign-off feels like begging for mercy. Would you use an EICR and remedial works package for loft spaces?
I want under-cabinet kitchen lighting that doesn't look like a DIY afterthought
LED strips peel off, drivers buzz, and the transformer hides nowhere sensible. Getting even light without glare needs planning not Amazon impulse. Would you pay for fitted kitchen lighting with dimming?
The garage has no power and I'm running an extension lead across the drive
Tools, fridge freezer, and EV trickle charger all want a proper feed. Trenching cable sounds like a building site and permissions confuse me. Would you book a garage sub-main and socket install?
My doorbell camera needs wiring and battery versions die every fortnight
Charging a Ring at the top of a Victorian terrace on a wobbly ladder is not my hobby. Hardwired video doorbells need a transformer and someone who reads the manual. Would you pay for a wired doorbell and camera install?
