Nearly a third (30%) of people believe DIY skills are being lost among younger generations, a survey indicates.
The survey found that 9% of Gen-Zs have bled a radiator compared with 53% of Baby Boomers aged aged 61 to 79 years old.
However, younger generations are less likely to leave DIY work incomplete for long periods, the survey indicates.
Younger generations are also spending more on improvements typically, perhaps because older DIY enthusiasts have already stocked up on equipment.
One in 10 (10%) people surveyed admitted to leaving DIY jobs unfinished for a year or more.
