DIY Assist
Learn DIY at Home
Sick of jobs piling up while you wonder whether to call a tradesperson or just tackle it yourself?
DIY Assist is bePractical's in-home DIY service - we come to you, work through your projects with you, and make sure you actually learn as you go. You build the skills and confidence. We support you every step of the way.
How DIY Assist Works
Most people have a DIY jobs list that just keeps growing. The question is always the same: do you call someone, try to figure it out yourself, or just leave it another month? DIY Assist gives you a third option.
We come to your home in Bristol or the surrounding area, work through your projects alongside you, and teach you the skills you need to get them done - and done properly. Whether you've just moved in and want to get your head around the place, have a big project you'd like some reassurance on, or simply have a long list and no idea where to start - DIY Assist is built around you.
bePractical DIY is here to help...... treat us as your very own Personal DIY Consultant
DIY Assist Options:
Flexible to fit what you need
We offer several ways to work with us, from a single online consultation through to a full-day hands-on session at your home. Not sure which is right for you? Just get in touch and we'll work it out together.
Maybe you've just moved into your New Home, and you would like someone to help you go through how things work, talk about potential projects, discuss the order you need to do then in......
Perhaps you have a burning desire to install your own Kitchen, but want some reassurance that you have the skills you need, or would like a bit of additional support through the project.
Maybe you have a very long list of DIY jobs, and just don't know where to start. You feel you ought to be able to do some of them, but just don't have the confidence or tools to get going.
The DIY Assist Menu
Pick your starting point
Every course is designed for people who've never done this before.
Faceto Face Consultation
We visit you to go through your jobs list in situ.
We can physically look at everything together. We may even be able to try some things out.
We can give you pointers, and if we have time, get a couple of things started, or at least planned.
This may be enough, or you may want to extend it into a longer session in the future. Its all entirely up to you.
New Home Consultation
Just moved into a new Home?
Not sure how everything works?
Where does the water turn off?
How do you re-pressurise the Boiler? (What does that even mean?)
You have a few jobs you'd like to do, but would like to talk them through before you get them started.
Video consultation
Like a Face to Face Consultation, but without me being able to get my hands dirty.
We can chat about things and you can show me around virtually.I can give you advice, or pointers as to how to tackle things; who you need to speak to etc.
The video will be recorded, so that you have a record to go back to, if you need to.
If you prepare me for what you want to talk about, I can prepare some options to demonstrate to you on the video, if that work
Half-Day Hands-on
These are usually morning or afternoon, but timings can be a bit flexible.
The idea is that you will be learning by doing. We will be there to suggest solutions, techniques, ideas etc. but really this is all about you having a go at doing things yourself.
Unlike with You Tube videos, you have someone with you for support; to help you when things go to plan.
We want you to discover that you can do it! That you will be able to do things yourself, even when we're not there.
We bring our tools, but if you have your own tools, then we will try to use them as much as we can, so that you learn with what you will be using on a regular basis.
Full-Day Hands-on
Much as for a Half-Day DIY Assist, but twice as long, so twice the fun and twice the learning.....
However, it can be a long day. It's best suited to people with a bigger project, which neerds several session of support
Bespoke DIY Assist
It wouldn't be DIY Assist if we couldn't adapt to changing circumstances.
If none of the options quite work for you, just let us know what you need.
Maybe you just need a session in the Workshop, so that you can take some skills home with you.
Just let is know by filling in the Enquiry Form below.
