About

Fixing Home Guide is an independent website about home repair and maintenance for UK homes. It is published by DYOR Collective Labs, a small UK-based publisher that runs a group of specialist sites.

What we publish

Practical, plain-English guides written in British English. We aim to answer the question a reader actually has, link to official or primary sources for facts, and keep pages up to date.

How articles are made

Some articles are drafted with the help of AI writing tools and then checked and edited. We do not use AI as a source of facts, we do not invent experiences, quotes or statistics, and every article must pass the rules in our editorial policy before it is published.

Advertising and independence

The site is funded by advertising. Advertisers do not choose or approve our content, and nobody can pay to be featured. See our disclaimer for details.

Corrections and contact

If you spot a mistake or something out of date, please get in touch. We correct errors when we are made aware of them.

About the editor

This site is edited by Stuart McAllister, a UK-based editor covering home repair and maintenance for British readers. "Stuart McAllister" is a pen name. We think it's fairer to tell you that than to invent a biography.

Articles are produced with AI-assisted research and drafting, then checked against the standards in our editorial policy. Stuart sets the topics and those standards and is responsible for what we publish. We don't claim credentials we don't have, and we don't use photos of people pretending to be our staff.
