Chadwicks Builds on Its Support for DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland
Chadwicks lays the foundations for transformative home projects on the show, supplying materials and services to help some of the nation’s most deserving families
Chadwicks, Ireland’s leading builders’ merchant, is proud to once again be the exclusive building materials supplier for DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland. The new four-part series returns to RTÉ One and RTÉ Player on Sunday, 5th October at 6:30pm.
For this season, Chadwicks has supplied essential building materials and expertise to help transform homes for some of Ireland’s most deserving families. Across the projects, the company provided rough and treated timber, plywood, cement, plasterboards, insulation, internal doors, fittings, exterior plaster, Velux roof windows, and much more, helping show presenter, Baz Ashmawy and the DIY SOS volunteers deliver lifechanging results.
Opening Doors in Tallaght
In the first episode, Chadwicks Lucan, Heiton Steel, Proline, and The Panelling Centre supported adaptations for nine-year-old, Tallaght resident Cayden, who was confined largely to his living room due to narrow doorways. Wider doors, ramps, and a new accessible bedroom and bathroom were built, giving Cayden newfound independence.
Raising the Roof in Mooncoin
The second project took the crew to Kilkenny, where Aoibhínn, aged nine, lives with spina bifida and hydrocephalus. After years of stalled progress on a self-build, the Chadwicks Waterford team and Proline supplied the materials needed to complete the project. The result: a safe, comfortable home for Aoibhínn and her family.
Building Up Families, Brick by Brick
Episode three, set in Clarecastle, Ennis, saw the team at Chadwicks Ennis support the transformation of Franek’s family home. Franek, a 13-year-old with cerebral palsy and scoliosis, needed a downstairs bedroom and accessible bathroom. The DIY SOS team stepped in, and with Chadwicks’ materials and local expertise, created the safe, practical spaces the family urgently needed.
Strengthening Independence in Wicklow
The final episode focuses on 17-year-old Kyle, who uses a wheelchair and had long relied on others to navigate stairs at home. With support from Chadwicks Bray and Proline, the DIY SOS team delivered an accessible space, allowing Kyle more freedom and dignity, while easing pressure on his carers.
Tara Brennan, Marketing and Development Director at Chadwicks Group, said: “Chadwicks is proud to once again play a part in DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland. Each year, this programme shines a light on the incredible strength of families facing extraordinary challenges and the power of community coming together to support them. With over 50 branches nationwide, community is at the heart of Chadwicks, and we are privileged to provide the materials, expertise and support needed to help make these life-changing builds possible.”
More Than Just a Build
With several successful seasons now complete, DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland continues to capture the hearts of viewers nationwide. For Chadwicks, supporting the show is about more than supplying products, it’s about building futures, one home at a time.
