A small sample of some Members DIY!

However, not all DIY jobs are this complicated. Just as an example; a middle aged lady borrowed a cordless hammer drill and masonry bits for her son to put a hinge on a concrete post – job done! Another borrowed an SDS Drill and saved the £550 he had been quoted by a trades person for demolition only – Job done!

Another, a young lady borrowed approximately £1,000 worth of tools to complete a job that she was quoted £650 – Job done!

The stories are endless. We offer local people the opportunity to DIY in a new way!
