• Be forward thinking and plan carefully
• If you don’t understand something, don’t just look the other way. Get to the bottom of the problem
• If in doubt leave it to the professionals - doing a job badly and then getting someone in to repair the damage can be much more expensive than paying someone in to do the job properly in the first place.
• Start with the basics, if you need a new roof, you need a new roof. Don't whitewash deep rooted issues.
• Don't be afraid to ask friends for help. Painting parties can be fun.
• Double check online or in a reference book the job your about to undertake. You might find an easier way or some handy tips for improving the way you do it.
• If asking a professional to do the job, a small amount of knowledge may stop any slightly more unscrupulous tradesman from taking advantage.

The Channel 4 presenter who also founded the online estate agent Tepilo said there is a renovations boom underway in London, as rising house prices last year has made extending a more affordable option than moving in many cases.
"Renovating is an excellent option if you don't have quite have the budget to move house. Moving can get extremely expensive and I can definitely see why many homeowners are looking to improve what they have rather than move," she said.
Political uncertainty has driven a surge in planning applications for extensions in London, boosting the renovations and interior design industry.
Dataloft has found that total applications for home improvements in London increased by 15pc between 2012 and 2015. With space in the capital at a premium, planning requests for loft extensions are the most common but expensive basement conversions are increasingly popular.
