Back in 2009, I volunteered to sit on a Steering Committee looking at the future of the Building Regulations in England. They were looking for someone to represent the small builder/self-builder/DIY enthusiast and, as it’s an area I frequently write and talk about, I was interested to see if I could add anything to the debate. But, to be honest, it sounded deadly dull and no sooner than I had put my name forward I began to have regrets. But there were no other volunteers – there’s a surprise – and so I duly headed off to London to put in an appearance, hoping that I wouldn’t let the side down by nodding off during the three-hour meeting.
