Working with Ann Maurice, TV’s House Doctor

2021-05-30T10:07:35+00:00

I'm often asked how I first met Ann Maurice, TV's House Doctor, and I have to say it was completely by accident.  However, she managed to change my life. Following a BSc Degree in Hotel and Catering Management in Manchester, I enjoyed managing various hotels for several years and I lived in exotic places such as Jersey, Guernsey and Bermuda. Finally returning to the UK, I moved into retail management, and developed a theory that good presentation was the key to success. [...]

House Doctor training course in Leicestershire. 1 house, 5 days, 12 delegates.

2013-10-19T10:40:26+00:00

Back in 2008, the House Doctor advanced training course first came to Leicestershire - Long Whatton, to be precise. Within only five days, the delegates attended training courses at the Yew Lodge Hotel every day, then went to practise what they had learnt on a 'real' house nearby. I was one of the two trainers on the course. The homeowners were delighted with their complete home makeover and said it was a dream come true.  They had wanted to update their home [...]

House Doctor fame reaches as far as Australia it would seem - this couple live in Australia but own a house in Nottingham. They had seen the House Doctor show many times, and decided to call me when it was time to put it on the market. It had been rented for a few years, but was in good condition. It needed furniture, window dressings and all the usual finishing touches - on a very tight budget.  We first agreed to only [...]

An estate agent used my House Doctor services for her own home! (Flintham, Nottingham.)

2013-11-06T09:07:04+00:00

This is the third time an estate agent has asked for my House Doctor services to sort their own home. And it SOLD within ten days! This busy lady knew her empty cottage needed some attention before it went on the market. It didn't have much kerb appeal, so potential buyers needed to see what was inside.  She knew that good photographs were essential, and it worked! Here are the photos. In true house doctor style, we kept the budget [...]
