Aspect Maintenance: 'Redecorating the most dreaded DIY task'

July 29, 2010 - PRLog -- -Aspect Maintenance poll highlights the DIY jobs we most dislike-


A recent poll  conducted by leading London-based property maintenance and refurbishment company, Aspect Maintenance (www.aspect-maintenance.co.uk), has uncovered the most dreaded DIY tasks.

Topping the survey was room re-decoration, accounting for 38 percent of the votes. And 36 percent of those questioned, indicated that clearing guttering and downpipes was a job they weren’t too keen to undertake.

We all dread coming home from the DIY store, and unpacking and erecting flat-packed furniture, and 11 percent of those surveyed resonated with this sentiment.

Only seven percent of respondents advised that putting up shelves was a job they dreaded.

Commenting on the findings, William Davies, managing director of Aspect Maintenance, said: “We all hate it when the time comes to give your property a quick refresh, so it’s no surprise that re-decoration is proving to be the most dreaded of DIY tasks.

“However, I was amazed to see that putting up shelving, and erecting furniture received relatively low responses – these are often connected with DIY disasters. Perhaps furniture stores have finally realised, and are creating clearer instructions for us to follow!”
