Half of Brits prefer social media over parents' help for DIY projects

According to a new survey by home improvement retailer Wickes, over a half of Brits say their parents can’t do DIY themselves, they’re not confident in parental advice and wouldn’t do a good job. As a result, almost half of Brits (46 per cent) are turning to social media platforms such as TikTok, YouTube or Instagram when taking on a DIY project instead of asking for help from a professional tradesman or family member.
