DIY Doctor on the BBC News for Our Users

Loads of ways to get help and advice with DIY Doctor

DIY Doctor has been asked to contribute a weekly DIY slot to James Hazell’s show which is aired every Saturday morning from 11 am.

Starting from the 11 April DIY Doctor will be discussing with James what the best tools are for DIY and how to carry out those essential, fun and frustrating DIY jobs around the home and garden.

Spring is the time that many of us dust off our tools, dig out the mower, and resolve to get on with all those jobs that have been put off all the way through the winter. After all it is hard to get motivated when the weather is poor and we only get a few hours daylight. Now the clocks have sprung forward we get lighter mornings and you might feel more like springing out of bed weekend mornings to get on with outstanding jobs.

Obviously regular users of our website will be used to seeing new ‘How To’ projects going live, and you may already subscribe to our You Tube videos to see all our DIY Tutorials and product reviews, but if you haven’t been in touch for a while why not tune in to James Hazell’s show and get inspired to DIY?

Other ways to get DIY Help

If you want to get in touch with us to ask questions you can join in on our DIY Help Desk which we are running on Facebook with Dyno, where you will get live answers to your DIY questions between 1 and 3pm tomorrow.

Alternatively you can post your problem into our DIY forum where we have literally hundreds of people helping each other to build, repair and DIY throughout the UK.

DIY Doctor gets over 600,000 users a week visiting the site to get help on building and DIY but we still like to keep in touch with you personally, so while we cannot reply to individual queries by email or social media we are able to offer help and advice through our forum.

If you want to see us live then you can come and see us at DIY and home shows where we are often asked to present on stage.

The next chance to see us live and to speak to us face-to-face is in Manchester at the Northern Home Show in July. Check out the Home Show website for more information.

We will be reminding you about this opportunity to meet up nearer the date, and we will have free tickets to give away.
