A new TV series from the production company of Hollywood actress and producer Reese Witherspoon is currently on the hunt for Bristolians who have been left high and dry by builders. Fronted by TV presenter and author Stacey Solomon, the new Channel 4 show Brickin' It wants to help the public tackle DIY and basic building while providing helpful tips to viewers wanting to makeover their homes themselves.
With prices of basic materials sky high, enlisting professional help to transform your home is incredibly expensive at the moment, and for those that do, there's always the risk of being left worse off by tradespeople cutting corners. But many people lack the confidence to take on DIY tasks themselves.
From bricklaying to basic plumbing, roof-tiling to mastering hacksaws, Brickin' It will see Stacey step in and get her hands dirty where the unscrupulous builders have left off, with the hope of showing homeowners it can be simple, satisfying and cost-effective to pick up a power tool and get the job done themselves.
