Zetaru DIY is written by a small group who look after their own homes. Each person covers the jobs they know best, and every guide carries the name of the person who wrote it.
Repairs and safety Age 41 York
Andreas spent the better part of a decade renovating a drafty 1930s terraced house and writing down what actually worked. He covers everyday repairs and the safety jobs people tend to put off, like anchoring furniture and testing alarms.
In their words Most small faults are fixable once someone explains them without the jargon, and I like being the person who does that.
Cleaning and maintenance Age 36 Bristol
Mark worked as a facilities coordinator before he got tired of products that promised everything and delivered little. He writes about cleaning, damp, and the seasonal upkeep that keeps small problems from growing.
In their words A home stays clean through good habits far more than through strong chemicals, and that message is worth repeating.
DIY projects and energy Age 29 Manchester
Silas learned on weekends in a small rented flat, which is where his taste for low-cost, renter-friendly fixes comes from. He covers beginner projects and the cheaper ways to waste less energy at home.
In their words A first-time DIYer should be able to finish a project without buying a shed full of tools they will use once.
Plumbing and tools Age 48 Kent
Patrick spent two decades helping friends and family with their homes before he started putting any of it in writing. He covers plumbing, the tools worth owning, and the jobs that look harder than they are.
In their words A lot of jobs that get a plumber called out are really a ten-minute fix with the right part in hand.
