A new TV series from the production company of Hollywood actress and producer Reese Witherspoon is currently on the hunt for Bristolians who have been left high and dry by builders. Fronted by TV presenter and author Stacey Solomon, the new Channel 4 show Brickin' It wants to help the public tackle DIY and basic building while providing helpful tips to viewers wanting to makeover their homes themselves.
With prices of basic materials sky high, enlisting professional help to transform your home is incredibly expensive at the moment, and for those that do, there's always the risk of being left worse off by tradespeople cutting corners. But many people lack the confidence to take on DIY tasks themselves.
From bricklaying to basic plumbing, roof-tiling to mastering hacksaws, Brickin' It will see Stacey step in and get her hands dirty where the unscrupulous builders have left off, with the hope of showing homeowners it can be simple, satisfying and cost-effective to pick up a power tool and get the job done themselves.
The series will follow big builds and smaller passion projects, with Stacey sharing her money-saving skills and offering design inspiration, as well as challenging herself to master new DIY techniques.
Brickin' It is being produced by Hello Sunshine, a production company founded by Reese Witherspoon in 2016. It focuses on sharing female-driven stories across film, TV and a diverse range of digital platforms.
Other Hello Sunshine series' include Making the Cut on Amazon Prime and Get Organized with the Home Edit on Netflix as well as blockbuster films such as Where the Crawdads Sing, Wild, Gone Girl and the forthcoming Netflix rom-comYour Place or Mine. Brickin' It will be the company's first foray into UK TV.
Speaking about Brickin’ It, Stacey Solomon said: “From an early age, my dad taught me DIY and the importance of fixing things yourself where you can. I still find it so satisfying to build or repair around the house, and it saves loads of money.
"I am beyond excited to work with Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine on their first-ever UK project. They are all about empowering women, and what could be more empowering than a power tool?! It’s a dream come true to share my DIY hacks with everyone at home.”
