Ladies' Home Repair Workshop
A hands-on workshop for women of all ages and backgrounds: practical home-repair skills and real confidence, taught in a relaxed, friendly space. No experience needed.
Small groups, hands-on tools, and two facilitators: a qualified Gas Safe engineer and a dedicated lead for female support. Places are limited each date.
Hands-on from minute one
For Women of All Ages & Backgrounds.
A friendly, judgement-free space to build real skills, whatever your starting point.
Small, supportive groups
Kept deliberately small so everyone gets proper hands-on time.
Step-by-step guidance
Taught at a pace that works, in a warm and friendly space.
Hands-on with real tools
Learn by doing, not just watching: every attendee gets practice time.
Skills for life
Leave with practical know-how you'll use again and again.
One Call-Out Costs More Than This Entire Workshop.
Learn it once, and you'll never need to pay someone else to do it again.
Typical UK call-out fee for a single simple job, before parts or labour time is even added.
- One fix, one visit, one bill
- Waiting in for a tradesperson
- Next issue costs you again
One workshop, in person, hands-on, and the skills are yours for good.
- Four practical skills, not one
- Small group, real tools, real practice
- Use it again and again, for free
Call-out figures are a general UK indication for comparison only, not a quote or a guarantee of savings; actual tradesperson pricing varies by location, provider and job.
Four Practical Skills. One Afternoon.
Every skill is taught hands-on, in a small group, with tools in front of you.
Drilling
Choose the right bit and drill a clean, confident hole, every time.
Wiring a Plug
Wire colours, terminals, and fitting a plug correctly and safely.
Taps & the Stop Tap
Isolate a tap safely, and find and test your home's stop tap.
Unblocking a Sink
Clear a blocked sink and reseat the trap properly, without a leak.
What This Workshop Is, And Isn't
This is a practical homeowner-skills workshop. It's designed to build everyday confidence around your home; it is not a trade qualification, and it does not certify or register you to carry out professional work.
If a job involves the consumer unit, gas, or the incoming mains, that's always a job for a qualified professional, not something this workshop teaches or authorises you to do yourself.
Led by People Who Know the Trade, and How to Support You.
Amar teaches construction and engineering at further education level and works as a qualified, Gas Safe registered engineer and assessor. He brings that same trade-level know-how into a relaxed, small-group setting, built for beginners, not tradespeople.
Tahira is there throughout every workshop, making sure the space stays comfortable, friendly and judgement-free for every attendee, from your first question to your last repair.
Whatever Brought You Here, You're Welcome.
Quick Questions, Answered.
