Halftime Help

We want to help the nation tackle those troublesome DIY tasks, all during half-time, in 15 minutes or less.

There are 99 million* outstanding DIY jobs around UK homes. From faulty fuseboxes to dodgy drains, did you know that many common jobs can be fixed in 15 minutes or less? That's the same length as a halftime break at the football.

That's why we're launching our Halftime Help campaign. With the help of ex footballer and DIY expert, Dion Dublin, we're going to give you the power to take on those DIY tasks on your to-do list.

See below for three simple video fixes to common household problems.

If you still need a hand, scroll down or head over to Twitter, Facebook or Instagram to enter our #DispatchoftheDay competition.

Tell us about a DIY job you need doing around your home, and you could be in with a chance of winning a visit from a HomeServe Home Expert who will do the hard work for you. That means you can relax, put your feet up and watch the big game in peace.

*On a nationally representative survey of 2000 UK adults, 1278 have an outstanding DIY job in their home. According to latest ONS figures, the UK adult population (18+) is 53,188,000, meaning that 33,987,132 adults have an outstanding job. The average number of outstanding jobs is 2.9, so 2.9 * 33987132 = 98,562,682
