DIY Clubs

Intermediate Evening DIY Clubs

Our inclusive Intermediate DIY Clubs are held on either Monday or Wednesday evenings. They provide a safe fun, and inclusive space for anyone to improve their DIY skills. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

Our Intermediate DIY Clubs are small, (maximum of 4 people) with plenty of space to learn practical skills, and DIY tips and tricks, at your own pace, and in your own way.

All our DIY Clubs run over 4-weeks and cost £110 for the 4-week term 

What you will Learn

Making Frames

These are pretty much the fundamental building blocks for many of your DIY projects. If you're thinking of building a Bike or Bin Store, or maybe some raised beds, this session will really help you tackle these projects.

Introducing Power Tools

We'll introduce you to Cordless Jigsaws, Circular Saws, Holesaws and the Dremel Blueprint, so that you can start expanding the kinds of DIY projects you want to tackle

Boxing-in

Building on the Frames session, we will start planning & implementing some boxing in. This is great for learning how to hide unsightly pipes, or cables, or just generally finishing off your DIY projects.

Planning & Implementing Projects

We’ll use this final session to pull together everything you’ve learned over the last three weeks and use it to plan and start a real home DIY project.

You’ll leave with a clear plan, the first steps mapped out, and the confidence (and know-how) to tackle those jobs you’ve been putting offf; the ones you never thought you’d be able to do.

Why join an Intermediate DIY Club

Safe & Supportive Space

Our clubs offer a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where you can learn at your own pace. With a maximum of just 4 participants, you'll have plenty of room to explore practical skills and discover handy DIY tips and tricks.

Transferable DIY Skills

Over the 4-week term, you'll gain a solid foundation in essential DIY skills, empowering you to confidently tackle projects at home.

Flexible Timing

Sessions kick off at 6:30 pm, but feel free to arrive when it suits you. We wrap up between 8:30 and 9pm; all very relaxed and fun.

Learn at your own pace

With expert guidance, and plenty of encouragement, we'll help you learn in a way that works for you

Tailored to You

With a wide range of tools and ample space to practice, we’re ready to dive into any specific challenges you’re facing at home. Just let us know, and we’ll happily explore those tangents together

Come join us and transform your DIY dreams into reality!

FAQs

How much experience do I need?

Intermediate DIY Club is designed to follow-on from our Beginners and Women-only DIY Clubs. You will get the most out of the Intermediate DIY Club, if you have a bit of DIY confidence. 
It would be great if you felt confidenct with a drill, and know how to  choose and use fixings. We will be using more powerful tools such as Jigsaws and Circular skills to plan more advanced DIY projects.

If you would like to bring your own PPE (Personal Protectve Equipment), please feel free to do so. We will provide PPE, but we know that some people would prefer to use their own. (We recommend that you mark them up with your names, so that you can identify them)

Do I need to buy any tools or materials before attending?

Nope! All tools and materials (including jigsaws mitre saws & coping saws) are provided. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn.

What if I’m nervous or have never used power tools before?

That’s exactly why this course exists! We take it step by step, and you’ll have plenty of time to practise.
