MyBuilder Competitions

Have you designed or created something unusual, surprising or unique in your home? MyBuilder is searching for innovative, creative, inspiring or quirky uses of space in the homes of the UK.

Have you pimped up a room in your house, turned it into a palace for your pets, a haven for your hobby, or a magical play area for the kids? Show us how you have personalised your space in an unexpected way and you could win £1000!

MyBuilder is once again on the hunt for the worthiest winner of a magical garden makeover.

Whether your garden is a barren wasteland or an overgrown jungle, we want to know what this prize would mean to you. You can nominate yourself, a friend or relative, or even a community garden or a school - we’re looking for the most worthy winner of a relaxing outdoors retreat!

The winner will receive a garden makeover carried out by a MyBuilder tradesperson with all materials and labour paid for by MyBuilder.

More than 2,000 homeowners across the UK nominated their MyBuilder tradesmen for our 2018 Job of the Year award, which aims to find tradespeople who went above and beyond the call of duty to do a brilliant job. Over 43,000 members of the public cast their vote, with the final shortlist taken to a MyBuilder panel.

Over the summer, MyBuilder and victoriaplum.com joined forces to find the bathroom in Britain that was most in need of makeover. Over 400 homeowners from around the UK entered the competition with their stories of bathroom misery and thousands of people voted for the bathrooms they most wanted to see fixed up.

Huge congratulations to Megan Rees from Oxford who entered the competition hoping to change the life of her three year old daughter Ariella.

Ariella has severe disabilities, she was given a 10% chance of survival at birth and has beaten the odds. Her parents have had to give up work to provide round the clock care for her as her needs are so complex.

Ariella currently has nowhere safe to play outside and can’t even go to the park as it is too risky for her.

We are very excited to begin the transformation and give Ariella beautiful garden to play in. Watch this space!

Huge congratulations to Ellouise Hempstead and her MyBuilder tradesman Martin Robinson of MJO Limited, in Lincolnshire.

Ellouise nominated Martin for the expertise, dedication, energy and generosity he brought to her challenging renovation project.

“Martin has taken our dream and made it his own. He’s worked with us to understand what we need, what we want, and what we’d love (but don’t think we can afford) and he’s helped us to make those things a reality. He’s an honest and reliable builder, who cares about his customers, and wants their project to be a success.”

Congratulations to Nikki Machin who has won a MyBuilder landscape gardener.

We went on the hunt for Britain's Worst Kitchen and we found it. Take a look at the 12 entries that made the shortlist and the winner of the kitchen makeover.

In 2013, we congratulated Jon Mason of Beaworthy in Devon, who won a grand for his garden after notching up 765 votes from the public.
