Affiliate disclosure

The short version

diyorpro does not currently earn commission from any retailer or tradesperson. There are no affiliate links on the site today, and nobody pays to be included in our estimates.

We may add affiliate links in future, for example so you can click through to buy the materials in a calculator. If we do, this page will be updated first, and every affiliate link will be clearly marked where you see it.

How we keep our estimates independent

• Our cost figures come from our own pricing data and regional labour rates, not from any retailer campaign. For each quality level, the calculators use the same selection rule for every job.
• Earning commission never changes which products or quality level we show, how a Full DIY, Smart Hybrid or Full Trade price is worked out, or what we say about whether a job is safe or legal to DIY.
• If a safety or legal rule means a job should be done by a registered professional, we say so, whether or not that costs us a commission.

Our prices are estimates

Product and labour prices on diyorpro are typical UK figures held in our own database, shown as estimates to the nearest £10. They are not live prices from a particular shop and they are not quotes. A shop's own price on the day will differ. Always check the current price and get two or three written quotes from local trades before you commit to any work.

Where we name a retailer, such as Wickes or B&Q, it is to describe the kind of product or price range. It does not mean they have endorsed us or that we have a commercial relationship with them.

Trades and directories

We link to official registers, such as the Gas Safe Register and electrical competent-person schemes, so you can check a tradesperson is properly registered. We receive nothing for those links. We do not take payment to recommend or rank individual tradespeople.

Advertising rules

We aim to follow the UK's advertising and consumer-protection rules on being clear about commercial relationships, including guidance from the Advertising Standards Authority and the Competition and Markets Authority.
