Posted: Tuesday 12 April, 2011

Tommy Walsh, the face of shopping comparison website for tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts, Tradessupermarket.com, will be answering DIY questions in a live web chat on IPC Media’s housetohome.co.uk, Friday 15th April, 1pm.

The site, which has over 200,000 unique monthly users, is a one-stop-shop for every home design and decorating need and it provides its readers with useful ideas to update every room in their home, while also providing a wide range of planning tools and expert advice.

Tommy will be responding live to questions posed by users of the site for an hour, from 1pm to 2pm on Friday 15th April.  Tommy is expecting questions relating to DIY tasks people are planning to undertake over the Easter and May bank holidays.

Tommy said: “The better weather, lighter nights and time off work makes April and May great months for a touch of DIY! Whether people want to know about painting, plastering, flooring or gardening then all they need to do is ask.  I can even give advice on the right building materials for the job in hand and which tools they’ll need, be it a drill, hammer or even a list of the top sanders!”

Jenny Drew, Channel Editor of housetohome.co.uk, commented: “If we’re not talking about Easter eggs or the Royal Wedding over the double bank holidays, we’ll be talking about getting those niggling decorating projects done – and who better to ask our questions to than DIY king, Tommy Walsh!”
