I'm Dean Commodore, better known online as DIY Dad. I'm based in Ipswich, and for the last few years I've built a following of 1M+ across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, showing millions of people how to actually fix things around the house.
It started as #DadShowedMe: the basic home jobs nobody sits you down and teaches you. It turned into a following of renters, first-time buyers and anyone tired of paying someone else £300 to unblock a drain.
I'm into garden and interior design too. On camera I work with tool and lifestyle brands who want their products and services in front of people who'll actually use it. Now booking media, radio, speaking engagements and brand work.
Brands I have worked with include Purdy & Figg, WD-40, LoftZone, Smart Energy GB, Castlery, NatWest, Victorinox, Robert Dyas, Dayinsure, UK Men's Sheds Association, HM Revenue & Customs, Camp Wildfire, giffgaff and Lloyds.
