Danish architects have arrived in the UK with a 100% flat pack house that can be erected in just six weeks. For a nation of DIY enthusiasts like the Brits, that’s either a disaster waiting to happen or the first breaths of the greatest summer DIY project on record! But perhaps the greatest immediate gift the UK isles can offer her residents is the brilliant (if occasionally fickle!) summer weather, making the perfect setting for these splendid summer home improvement projects!
New Kitchen or Bathroom
The kitchen and bathroom can often fall by the wayside when it comes to home improvements – so expensive, such a hassle! But the summer months really are perfect for clearing out those past-their-use-by-date jars and tins and enjoying watching the new oak kitchen units slot into place!
Lick of Paint
Ventilating the home is a huge part of any re-painting job. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a new coat of gloss paint on the wood kitchen doors or a complete loft to cellar re-paint – the summer weather makes for ideal conditions.

A new front door, new windows, roofing repairs, re-painting external walls, landscaping the garden – they’re not all jobs that need a professional touch, so why not make the most of the balmy weather and catch the DIY bug?
