About this forum

A place to discuss UK-centric DIY.
No sheetrock or drywall.

Wikipedia details DIY as a form of anti-consumerism, ain't that something.

Useful places to learn things:
(taking suggestions!)

https://www.diynot.com/

A UK how-to and forum site.
People tend to argue a bit, but a good place to get an idea.

Useful places to buy things:

https://www.toolstation.com
https://www.screwfix.com/

Wide range of tools and fixings, shop format is like Argos.
Always worth comparing prices between them. Don't sell lumber.

https://diy.com
https://www.wickes.co.uk/

B&Q and Wickes. Often more expensive than TS/SF, but carries lumber and garden supplies too.

Wickes deals can bring prices in line with builders merchants.

Watch out with B&Q's website, as they do that thing like amazon, where people sell through them (often overpriced)
