  • “Our HandiMentor session was genuinely fantastic and incredibly useful! My mentor was brilliant, helping me tackle everything from hanging pictures to using a drill. They shared invaluable tips, showed great flexibility, and offered fantastic overall advice on approaching DIY. I left feeling truly empowered and excited to embrace more DIY tasks, realising I just needed the right direction. I'm so grateful to my mentor and would love to use HandiMentor again.”

    Hannah, Islington

  • "We moved into our first flat and quickly realised how much needed doing - painting, fixing a leak, sanding down the floors… it felt overwhelming. Booking HandiMentor for a few sessions gave us the confidence and hands-on help we needed. We learned so much and saved a fortune. It turned a stressful week into a really empowering one."

    Sam & Hannes, Elephant and Castle

  • "I’d never picked up a wrench before, and honestly thought fixing a tap was beyond me. My mentor was so patient, breaking everything down in a way that just made sense. By the end of the session, I’d not only stopped the leak - I felt proud of myself. HandiMentor didn’t just help me fix something - they helped me believe I could."

    Anushka, Colindale

  • "I booked a HandiMentor session thinking I’d just get help putting up some shelves - but it turned into a full-on crash course in DIY. We built custom shelving together, sanded down an old wobbly table, and I finally learned how to use a drill properly (and safely). It was honestly one of the most useful afternoons I’ve had in years. I’ll definitely be booking again - and gifting sessions to friends and family too."
