Expert tips to keep your home secure in the dark nights
12/05/2024The clocks go back soon, and with it comes the longer nights, and unfortunately, an increase in burglaries. There were 288,000 burglaries in the UK from April 2022 to March 2023 - an increase of more than 10,000 from the year before. More than 60 per cent of these took place during darkness. However, there are many ways that we can protect our homes from any break in, and now is a perfect time to get it done. Or experts have put together a quick guide for you to check your home is as safe as possible before the dark nights arrive.

Would you encourage your kids into a skilled trade?
12/05/2024Once upon a time, it seemed that most parents hoped their children would become doctors, dentists, or lawyers. These were seen as impressive “professional” careers - but it seems times are changing. Long working hours, work life balance and the progression of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the workplace are all contributing factors to making these most desirable careers appear, well, less so. Here at MyBuilder.com, we know how amazing working in a trade can be, and we’ve also conducted research that shows that our tradespeople think that, too. And yet, despite this, there is a concerning shortage of young people heading into a career in skilled trades.

A third of homeowners choose to “improve not move”
12/05/2024Soaring mortgage rates are a hot topic across the nation at the moment, as economic uncertainty and rising interest rates rear their ugly heads. It’s perhaps unsurprising then, that a recent survey we did showed that a third of UK homeowners are choosing to delay any house move - instead choosing to improve the home they already have. It’s not a bad idea - renovating, extending, or even just sprucing up your property only adds to its value, as well as creating a nicer space for you to live in. There’s just one issue though - homeowners in Britain are likely to face long delays when booking plumbers, electricians, builders, and other tradespeople.
