Has the DIY market benefited from the economic and financial crisis in Spain? At least 41 per cent of Spaniards think that the crisis has influenced the development of Do-it-yourself. These are the results of a survey carried out on behalf of the DIY chain Leroy Merlin. A majority of the Spaniards - almost 55 per cent – claim to do a lot of DIY jobs themselves. 19 per cent say that they ask acquaintances while 15 per cent employ a professional. This corresponds with the claims that 55 per cent really or pretty much like doing a bit of DIY themselves.
