Welcome to the How to section

The "How to" section of the site contains hundreds of articles that show you how to do almost anything relating to do it yourself. Articles can be viewed by clicking on the section links to the right or you can find articles by using the A-Z contents or the search box at the top of every page.

DIY covers such a vast area that we are constantly adding new articles and videos to the site. In May 2014 every article on the site was remade in a content management system, this was almost ten years after the site was started (as a hobby). The new look site is much easier to maintain and is responsive, so it should look well across all platforms and devices.

If you like DIY you have come to the right place, please take a good look around and share the site with your friends, we have an active forum where you can ask questions if you get stuck! 

• We are an independent website and are not owned by any of the large DIY companies.
• We have nothing to sell to you and will never try and sell you something you do not need.

• We uploaded our first online video to our own video server in 2007. Because of the complexities in running a video server we moved over to YouTube and uploaded the first YouTube video in 2009, since then the channel has had over 200,000,000 combined views.
