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 a consumer unit upgrade but dread the dust and days without power
The quote mentions 'possible rewiring' and suddenly it's a five-figure conversation. You just want to know if the house is safe for the kids. Would you vote for a transparent fuse board upgrade with phased work?
Our electric oven keeps tripping the RCD and Sunday roast is at risk
The hob works, the oven doesn't, and the fault could be the appliance or the circuit. Guessing wastes money on a new cooker you might not need. Would you use an appliance-vs-wiring diagnostic visit?
I want outdoor security lights that actually scare off prowlers
Cheap PIR floods blind the neighbours and fail when you need them. Mains-powered, properly aimed lighting needs someone who knows Part P. Would you pay for a security lighting survey and install?
My ceiling light fitting is hanging by a thread after a dodgy install
The previous owner 'had a mate' do it and the rose is cracked and crooked. Changing a chandelier when you're not sure the earth is connected keeps you awake. Would you book a light fitting replacement with safety certification?
We need more sockets in the home office before the extension lead catches fire
Laptop, monitor, printer, heater — four devices, one double socket behind the desk. Trunking looks ugly and chasing walls is dusty chaos. Would you pay for discreet home office socket installation?
My bathroom shaver socket died mid-holiday prep
Steam, old wiring, and no RCD protection in a wet room is not a DIY YouTube moment. Emergency sparkies cost a fortune or quote next week. Would you use a fast-response bathroom electrical repair service?
I want smart heating but my thermostat wiring looks like spaghetti
Hive, Nest, Tado — all promise savings but the backplate needs a pro and the app setup defeats me. One wrong wire and you've no heating on a January night. Would you pay for smart thermostat supply and commission?
The lights flicker when the washing machine spins and it's doing my head in
It started subtle and now guests notice before I do. An electrician said 'could be anything' and quoted a fortune to investigate. Would you vote for a diagnostic visit with a clear fault-finding fee?
Our outdoor socket doesn't work and the lawnmower lead through the window is asking for trouble
Rain and trailing cables through the kitchen door can't be the long-term plan. Adding an outdoor IP-rated socket should be simple but nobody returns calls. Would you pay for a weatherproof outdoor power point install?
I need an EV charger but the quotes are all over the place
Garage vs driveway, tethered vs untethered, grant paperwork — it's a maze before you've plugged in once. Cowboy installs void your warranty and scare the life out of you. Would you use a fixed-price home EV charger install with grant help?
My fuse box trips every time I boil the kettle and use the microwave
It's the 1970s consumer unit that came with the house and Google says 'don't ignore it'. Getting someone qualified who'll actually turn up this month feels impossible. Would you book a same-week fuse board safety check?
Why do none of my sockets have USB and I'm drowning in adapters?
Every phone charger needs its own plug and the kitchen looks like a cable spaghetti factory. Rewiring a whole room feels extreme for four sockets. Would you pay an electrician to swap faceplates and add USB points in a day?
My decking is rotten and I keep putting off the replacement
Soft boards near the steps are a sprained ankle waiting to happen. Quotes vary wildly and you can't tell quality until it's too late. Would you vote for a decking survey with honest repair-or-replace advice?
I want a bird-friendly garden without attracting rats
Feeders, baths, and native plants sound lovely until the squirrels move in. Getting the balance right means research we never finish. Would you use a wildlife garden consultation for suburban gardens?
Our garden needs designing but landscapers only want huge projects
We don't need a full overhaul — just a layout, planting list, and someone to do the heavy lifting. Most firms ignore small urban plots. Would you pay for an affordable garden design plus phased install?
I can't keep on top of weeding and the borders look abandoned
Bindweed and dandelions win every battle while I work late and collapse at weekends. Mulch helps until the cats dig it everywhere. Would you subscribe to monthly border weeding and tidy-ups?
My greenhouse is full of broken pots and guilt
I bought it during lockdown and now it's a spider hotel with one sad tomato plant. Ventilation, shading, and pest control are a full-time hobby. Would you pay for a greenhouse reset and seasonal maintenance plan?
We want a fire pit area but dread digging up the lawn
Pinterest shows cosy evenings; reality is rubble, drainage, and arguing about paving vs gravel. One wrong move and you've killed the grass for good. Would you book a turnkey fire pit and seating install?
My artificial grass is flat, smelly, and full of dog hair
It was sold as low maintenance but brushing and sanitising weekly wasn't in the brochure. Rain puddles sit for days and the kids track grit indoors. Would you pay for professional artificial turf cleaning?
I need a tree surgeon but every quote feels like guesswork
The ash at the bottom of the garden drops branches near the power line and insurance wants it documented. Cowboy cutters worry me as much as the tree does. Would you trust a vetted arborist with transparent pricing?
Our compost heap smells and the neighbours have noticed
We meant to be eco-friendly but now it's a rat buffet behind the shed. Turning it properly needs tools and time we don't have. Would you use a compost setup and collection service for food waste?
I want outdoor lighting but don't trust myself with electrics
Solar lights died in a month and mains kits need an electrician anyway. Cabling across the lawn feels like a trip hazard waiting to happen. Would you pay for a garden lighting design and safe install?
My pond is a swamp and the fish deserve better
Green water, blanket weed, and a pump that hums like a fridge keep us from enjoying the garden. Specialist pond shops are miles away and advice online is overwhelming. Would you vote for a mobile pond maintenance visit?
The kids need outdoor play equipment but I'm terrified of getting it wrong
Climbing frames look brilliant online until you realise you need level ground and anchor bolts. One wrong drill hole and you've ruined the patio. Would you pay for certified assembly and safety checks?
