The study, conducted by the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), found that when it comes to making important decisions regarding building work – such as the style and scope of the project – women are twice as likely to have the final say than men.
The poll, which has been carried out ahead of Mother's Day, also asked female homeowners if they have carried out a range of basic DIY tasks around the home. Almost 80% said they have painted a room, while 65% have put together flat-pack furniture. 58% have unblocked a sink and more than 50% have changed a fuse, while 44% have unblocked a toilet. Over a quarter also said they had cleared the guttering.
Brian Berry, Chief Executive of the Federation of Master Builders, said: "This research shows that any lingering gender stereotypes regarding domestic life are totally outdated.
"Not only do women lead on decisions regarding the style and scope of building projects, they also get stuck in themselves when hiring a builder isn't necessary.
"In 21st century Britain, you're just as likely to find a woman up a ladder clearing out the guttering or battling with flat-pack furniture, as you might be likely to find her performing some of the more traditional domestic chores."
