DIY enthusiast''s website to help others

A handyman in Lancashire has set up his own website of DIY tips to help out people who want to give home improvements a go.

Chez Rossi from Darwen works for a firm making acrylic products but set up ultimatehandyman.co.uk and now gets 800,000 hits a month from home owners looking for top tips on topics like plumbing, plastering and tiling.

He told his local newspaper the Lancashire Telegraph: "I only started it as a hobby and it took off and now it''s phenomenal.

"I learnt quite a bit as I went along but I did have to ask quite a few people for advice. There''s always something."

Other things which Mr Rossi covers on his website include home repairs, painting and decorating.

In two years, despite his limited knowledge of IT, he has managed to transform his burgeoning DIY enthusiasm into a 5,000-page indexed website on Google.
