Bedroom quotes: Men and women have equal responsibility for DIY

Bedroom quotes: Men and women have equal responsibility for DIYThe National Home Improvement Council says that it is up to both partners to get involved with DIY when seeking bedroom quotes.Couples who are looking for bedroom quotes should be prepared to help equally with DIY tasks, an industry body has said.

The National Improvement Council (NHIC) has stated that men and women need to "share the problem" of driving renovation costs down.

Andrew Leech, director of NHIC, said that fewer people are competent in DIY tasks, meaning it is turning into a "lost art". He added that projects should be well thought out and appropriate.

He explained: "You've got to be careful where you go with renovation, because you can renovate in the wrong direction and end up doing something which is completely wrong and which won't sell a house at all."

Earlier this month, a Bosch Power Tools survey revealed that 69 per cent of British women undertake DIY tasks as a way of saving money.

A study commissioned by Halifax Home Insurance from March this year suggested that two out of three Britons lacked the necessary spatial awareness to successfully carry out home improvements.
