Warning that some DIY projects can invalidate your home insurance policies
Briefly

According to a survey by Go.Compare, nearly a quarter of those planning home renovations intend to proceed without professional assistance, while one in ten will take on these projects without any insurance protection.
It's always important to notify your insurance company of any plans to renovate the home, especially if it involves major structural changes, as it could significantly affect the value of the property.
One in ten Brits planning DIY home renovations this year are uninsured, leaving an estimated 245,870 UK households exposed to potential accidents and damages without any financial protection.
Some policies include cover for a certain extent of renovations, but if not, it's worth purchasing the necessary additional cover for the duration of the work.
