Baz Ashmawy will be back on our screens very soon as RTÉ has confirmed the return of DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland. Chief motivator Baz is back at the helm, meeting four deserving families whose lives will be transformed as the DIY SOS team takes on ambitious builds across Kildare, Limerick, Wicklow and Offaly.
As always, Baz is joined by a talented team of designers, builders, tradespeople, volunteers and suppliers who come together to create homes that are not only beautiful, but tailored to the unique needs of each family across the course of the show. Renowned designer Kerry Hiddleston drives the Limerick and Offaly builds, while Gwen Kenny leads the Kildare project. Bray native Jenny Butler takes on the Wicklow build.
The gardens are also given the DIY SOS treatment, with established garden teams bringing their expertise to each project. Sean Keighran takes on the Offaly garden, while Jorge Aragón works on the Kildare and Limerick builds. In Bray, Claire Hawker and Dylan Doyle join forces to transform the outdoor space. At the heart of DIY SOS is the extraordinary generosity of the people who make each build possible.
From volunteers and tradespeople to designers, suppliers and local communities, every project demonstrates what can be achieved when people come together to support a family in need. Across the four-part series, four homes and four gardens will be transformed in 2026 – each carefully designed and built around the individual needs of the families at the centre of each story.
Speaking about the show, Baz shared: “I found some of these stories absolutely heartbreaking but I learned so much from these four families. I’m fascinated by their resilience and really admire how determined they are. They are amazing moms and dads who want the best for their kids.
“It’s so heartwarming to see hundreds of volunteers come together to try to help these families through a tough time. It sounds corny but it really does restore your faith in humanity. ”Related Stories
