TV builder shares knowledge

9:31am Tuesday 26th June 2007 in Swindon By Gazette Reporter

TV builder Tommy Walsh will be sharing his house building experience in Swindon this weekend.

The Ground Force star will be at the National Self-Build and Renovation centre on Saturday and Sunday talking about his latest project - building an eco-home on a budget of £60,000.

This will include the renovation of his own Victorian house in East London, which has involved a virtual re-build of the original house, and how he lovingly restored the Grade II listed building to its former glory.

Tim Doherty, managing director of the centre, said: "Tommy's seminars will be packed full of tips, advice and real-life experiences to show how cost-effective and achievable self build and renovation can be.

"It will be a really inspiring weekend."

Entrance to the event costs £8 and the seminars are free.
