As the Easter weekend draws to a close, many Brits are facing a familiar dilemma: having indulged in chocolate treats, they now realise only one day remains to freshen up their homes for spring. Whether it's repainting rooms, mowing the lawn, or clearing gutters, certain tasks often feel overwhelming, leaving homeowners juggling an average of eight DIY jobs simultaneously.
Survey Highlights DIY Struggles
According to a comprehensive survey commissioned by B&Q, which polled 2,000 households, this backlog of chores is a common issue. The data shows that homeowners frequently have multiple pending tasks, with many struggling to prioritise or complete them efficiently.
