Most home problems have a simple, cheap fix
You just need to know what to do — and when. That's the whole point of this handbook: the practical know-how, written plainly, so you can stop guessing and stop overpaying.
What a tradesman charges just to walk through the door — before any work is done.
One handbook covers the lawn, the kitchen, the plumbing, the damp and a hundred jobs in between.
Every entry is short, clear and to the point — find your problem and get the answer fast.

Six real tips from inside the book
These are pulled straight from the handbook — no fluff, just the clever little fixes that make you wonder how you ever managed without them.
Put an apple in with your potatoes. The ethylene gas stops them sprouting for weeks longer than usual.
Food FreshnessDrop a bay leaf into your flour, rice and pasta. Bay leaves naturally repel weevils and pantry insects.
Pantry & Dry StorageRub candle wax along drawer edges and the top and bottom of doors before painting — they won't stick when the paint cures.
Painting WoodA tablespoon of Epsom salts in 4 L of water, sprayed on the lawn, boosts chlorophyll for a noticeably deeper green.
Lawn CareTest an egg in a glass of water: sinks flat = very fresh, stands upright = use soon, floats = bin it.
Dairy & EggsLeave an open box of bicarbonate of soda in the fridge to neutralise odours — replace it every three months.
Fridge OrganisationDon't take our word for it
“Fixed a running toilet and a squeaky floorboard in one weekend. The plumber would've charged me more than the book cost just to show up.”
“I'm not handy at all, but every fix is written so plainly I actually felt confident trying them. The damp chapter alone was worth it.”
“Bought it for the lawn tips and stayed for everything else. My grass has never looked better and my energy bill went down too.”
“Reads exactly like Hank's videos — no waffle, just the thing that works. I keep it on my phone and pull it up whenever something breaks.”
“Honestly didn't expect much for the price. It's now the most-used thing on my kitchen shelf. Already saved myself two call-outs.”
“Gave a copy to my son when he bought his first house. Best fiver-and-a-bit I've spent on him. Every young homeowner should have it.”
One book. One small price.
