Albert Jackson and David Day, who were also behind the publisher’s other popular titles, “Collins Complete Wiring and Lighting “and” Collins Complete Plumbing and Central Heating, wrote the “Collins Complete DIY Manual”.

You should be aware that due to the nature of the tasks included in the “Complete DIY Manual”, it would be fair to say that it is not for the complete beginner and is more suited to people with at least a basic knowledge of the subject.

Underfloor heating and other jobs such as capping chimneys are examples of the type of areas covered. However, though both are easily carried out, the most basic aspects of the tasks involved won’t be covered here.

The “Collins DIY Manual” will make a great Christmas or birthday present for anyone who likes to think they are good at DIY, but who is in need of some expert advice to top up their knowledge.
