Stay Put Fever May 2009
Fact 1
Easter Bank Holiday through to the end of May is a BOOM time for DIY. Research by Co-operative Bank suggests that £4.5billion was spent on DIY over Easter Bank Holiday Weekend, as “Stay-put fever” continues to sweep the UK!
Fact 2
The UK DIY market is still huge. Market analyst MTW Research estimates it to be worth £7.5billion this year, and things are improving.
Fact 3
47% of people are more likely to attempt DIY or decorating projects themselves because of the economic climate.
As fewer people are jetting off abroad, more people have time to get those jobs done around the home. Some people are renovating because they can’t afford to move and want to make the most of their current home and even adding value!
