Let customers speak for us
I did the DIY Beginners course and it was really good. I learned loads and Jonty made the whole day really engaging. I really recommend to anyone looking to gain confidence and learn about DIY
My 10 year old daughter absolutely loved this. She’s been asking about carpentry and spent a very happy day making lots of wooden creatures (including “Judgemental Walrus”!!!) We hope to book onto a workshop soon.
I recently attended the "Decorating a Day" course at Ash & Co and had a brilliant experience. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone, even if you're just curious and want to give decorating a try.
The online booking process was incredibly simple. I'd actually been thinking about booking a course with Ash & Co for quite a while and kept putting it off, but with retirement on the horizon, I decided it was time to brush up on some practical skills. I'm so glad I did.
The six-hour course was excellent value for money. There were six people in the class, which felt like the perfect number. We were a lovely group with a mix of experience levels, and everyone seemed to get exactly what they wanted from the day.
Our tutor, Jonty, was fantastic. He immediately put everyone at ease, was friendly and approachable throughout, and shared plenty of useful tips and advice. I've come away with a substantial shopping list of tools and materials based on his recommendations, which I'm sure will be invaluable going forward.
Overall, it was a great course and a really enjoyable day. In fact, I'm seriously considering booking onto the DIY Beginners course next, as it looks both useful and good fun.
The only constructive feedback I'd offer is that Ash & Co could do a little more to promote themselves during the course. For example, encouraging attendees to leave a Google review would help spread the word. Also, I received a 10% voucher at the end of the day, but only because I asked about it. It might be worth making attendees more aware of offers like this.
Thank you for a fantastic day. I thoroughly enjoyed it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ash & Co to anyone considering a course.
I can’t recommend this course enough! I had a great day and I feel really excited that I can actually do the job around my house now. I really want to hang some shelves and now I know what walls I’ve got and how to do it properly! Massive thanks to Jonty, what a great day!
She was so proud of what she made and kept showing everyone, and she loves that she now has her own hammer and won't share it with anyone!
I wasn't expecting much, but this kit surprised me. The fact it uses a real hammer and nails makes it feel totally different from other kits. My son was so focused and took it really seriously. You can tell it's designed properly and great to find something made in the UK by a small business.
I recently attended the DIY in a Day: Intermediate (How to Build Virtually Anything!) workshop, and it was a brilliant experience from start to finish.
Going in, I was hoping to build confidence with some of the bigger tools—like the circular saw and mitre saw—as well as get a better understanding of how projects come together and the importance of planning. The course delivered on all of that and more.
Jonty was an excellent instructor—really relaxed, approachable, and clear in his teaching. It never felt like you were being talked at and there was a great balance between demonstration and hands-on learning, which made a huge difference.
The venue itself is spot on—spacious, clean, and well set up—and the small group size made it feel really engaging and personal.
I’ve come away feeling much more confident and more motivated to get stuck into projects I probably wouldn’t have attempted before.
I’d definitely recommend this course (along with the DIY in a Day – Beginners workshop) to anyone looking to build confidence, regardless of age or experience.
A great day all round—a really enjoyable change from the day job, and it’s genuinely given me the confidence to just give things a go.
This set has been amazing for our son who loves making and building. Seeing him build his own toys and then use his imagination playing with them is wonderful. Thank you for this set! It's fabulous.
My son spent all of Saturday making his creations and proudly took them in to school to show everyone! Thank you Ash & Co.
This kept my son busy for ages, which is saying something. He normally loses interest quickly, but he stuck with this and really enjoyed it. Great to see him doing something hands-on instead of being on a screen!!
I highly recommend this excellent course, for those who know the basics of DIY but want to improve their skills. It's great to go with a project in mind so Jonty can tailor his (always excellent) advice to your particular situation, but I also picked up loads of tips to do just about anything. Plus it was a really enjoyable day.
Bought this as a gift for a boy who loves craft and making things, and it went down really well. The package is well presented and feels good quality. It's something a bit different which I really loved!
My boys special interest at the moment is woodwork so we bought this set and chose a different project to create each day. We really enjoyed making all the projects.
Brilliant kit with clear instructions and the videos make it easy to follow along.
Kasper had fun recently making Cookie the Cat, and customising him to his liking - I'm sure we'll try another kit soon!
A warm welcome
We make all our kits and run our courses from our friendly workshop in Church Crookham on the Hampshire / Surrey border.
