Your call
Go or no?
Fancy giving it a go, or would you rather call in a handyman? There’s no wrong answer.
Right then. Here’s the kit, then the steps.
No problem. We’ll show you how to find a local handyman.
Shop the full kit
When the full guide is written, you’ll be able to buy the core items in one go. Typical UK prices will be checked on a named date. Until then, the buttons below are placeholders — not live shop links.
All-in-one kit
If a genuine boxed kit exists for this job, it will be featured here with a named UK store and a checked price. We will not invent a bundle.

Before you start
Safety

- If you are unsure or out of your depth, use the button to find a local handyman.
Prep that is worth doing
- Clear the area and gather the tools before you start.
- Specific prep for this job will be added with the full guide.
Tools and materials
The detailed list, with typical UK prices checked at named stores, will sit here. Until then: do not treat any figure as live, and do not follow a shop URL — there isn’t one yet.

We’ll write these in plain British English, with safety warnings at the point of danger — including anything that should be left to a qualified person.

Upload a photo to see the finished job
When the mock-up is live, you can upload a photo and see an impression of the finished job — not a quote or an exact product match.
FAQ
When will the full guide be ready?
This page is a working shell so you can already choose Go or no?, see where the shopping list will sit, and reach a trade fallback. The complete steps and checked prices will be added next.
Would rather not DIY? Find a local handyman
If you’d rather hand this over, that’s a perfectly good outcome. A local handyman can often finish the job faster, and with the right tools already in the van.
