Fix My Home Tips uses a collective editorial byline for its publishing account. It does not use that byline to imply an undocumented trade licence, professional certification, degree, or expert review.
Current editorial standard
Material should help a reader understand a problem without overstating certainty. A repair guide should identify likely causes, separate low-risk checks from professional work, use primary sources where practical, and make uncertainty visible.
Safety policy
Step-by-step public instructions must not cover household fixed wiring or mains electricity, gas or combustion systems, asbestos or lead removal, hazardous chemical handling, sewage cleanup, or serious biohazards. Those topics require a safety-first stop instruction and an appropriately qualified local professional or emergency service rather than a simplified DIY procedure.
Other elevated risks—ladders, roofs, glazing, springs, structural movement, extensive water damage and large mould areas—should have task-specific limits. A disclaimer does not make an otherwise dangerous procedure acceptable.
Research, comparison and testing
Source research, specification comparison and reading user manuals are not physical testing. Product pages must not say or imply “we tested”, “hands-on”, “expert reviewed”, measured performance, personal ownership, or real-world use unless the specific claim is supported by retained evidence and the method is explained.
Manufacturer specifications should be attributed and checked for model, region and date. Prices, stock, warranties, ratings and compatibility can change. Where a fact cannot be verified, the page should say so or omit it rather than guess.
Affiliate and commercial transparency
A material connection should be disclosed clearly and close to the recommendation or affiliate link. “Affiliate link” alone may not explain that a commission can be earned. Product order, labels such as “best”, and comparative claims must be supported by the stated method rather than by an undisclosed commercial relationship.
Images and copyright
An image should be published only when its source, licence, permitted use, attribution requirement and modification rights are documented. A publicly accessible image is not automatically free to reuse. Product images, logos, screenshots and photographs of people or private property may require additional permission.
Corrections
Reports can be sent through the contact information page. Include the page URL and exact passage. A correction may result in clarification, an updated source, removal of a claim, or removal of the page. No fixed response time is promised.
Collective byline
“Fix My Home Tips Editorial Team” identifies the account responsible for maintaining the publication. If a future article is genuinely reviewed by a named professional, the person’s identity, relevant qualification, role, review scope and review date should be verifiable before publication.
