People may want to check that their home insurance policy is up to date as new research suggests that the UK is becoming a nation of DIY enthusiasts.
A study from Sainsbury's home insurance has revealed that in order to save money during the current financial downturn, 65 per cent of people have picked up a paintbrush and got to work on their property.
Furthermore, they claim to have saved over £49 billion over the last year by not using professionals.
The most popular DIY activity was discovered to be painting as 51 per cent of respondents decided to brighten up their walls themselves to save some cash.
Joanne Mallon, Sainsbury's home insurance manager, said: "DIY is a great way to save money and the sense of achievement when the job's done can be tremendous, so don't ruin it by exposing yourself to calamity."
Over the Easter period, Yorkshire Bank revealed that many people are now getting their hands dirty and doing some DIY instead of moving house.
