Recent reviews of DIY Workshop: Wall Fixings and Shelf Fitting

  • 5/5 from Jane, attended Feb 2024: I decided to put myself on a basic DIY course while on redundancy to make good use of my time. I’ve done bits and pieces of DIY before but never really knew the proper basics and wanted to increase my confidence. I’ve started with the drilling and shelf fitting course and will definitely be back for more (& will bring my children too). Really patient instructor with a huge (& thankfully warm) workshop who took me right back to basics and gave me a full grounding in the different fittings etc for different walls. Plenty of time to watch and then put into practice and so I now feel fully equipped to tackle my own projects. Gave me lots of tips on good tools to buy etc too. Looking forward to joining other courses in the future.
