    A place to discuss UK-centric DIY. No sheetrock or drywall.

    Wikipedia details DIY as a form of anti-consumerism, ain't that something.

    Useful places to learn things: (taking suggestions!)

    https://www.diynot.com/

    A UK how-to and forum site. People tend to argue a bit, but a good place to get an idea.

    Useful places to buy things:

    https://www.toolstation.com https://www.screwfix.com/

    Wide range of tools and fixings, shop format is like Argos. Always worth comparing prices between them. Don't sell lumber.

    https://diy.com https://www.wickes.co.uk/

    B&Q and Wickes. Often more expensive than TS/SF, but carries lumber and garden supplies too.

    Wickes deals can bring prices in line with builders merchants.

    Watch out with B&Q's website, as they do that thing like amazon, where people sell through them (often overpriced)

    This is great, and I thoroughly appreciate your attention to clarifying US/UK words for things.

    Thank you :)

    I suggest editing the title to include the problem and the solution, to aid future searching.

    I love simple fixes like these. Clean it, lube it, maintain it.
