What we offer
Not Sure Where to Begin?
You’re not alone. Most people who walk through our doors start with a mix of curiosity and nerves.
Maybe you’ve never picked up a drill, or you’re worried you’ll ask a “silly” question (there’s no such thing here!).
Maybe you just want to stop feeling clueless when something goes wrong at home.
That’s exactly why bePractical DIY exists. Our workshops are designed for real beginners, not experts. We start with the absolute basics: how to use tools safely, what to buy (and what not to!) and how to tackle those little jobs that seem scary until someone shows you how.
You don’t need any special kit, experience, or confidence to get started, just a willingness to have a go. We promise, you won’t be left behind, and you’ll never feel silly for asking questions. In fact, asking is one of our “DIY 10 Commandments”—because if you’re wondering, someone else probably is too!
