About DIYCalcs
Every tool on this site works from fixed geometry and clearly labelled standard conventions, UK brick sizes, joint widths, bulk densities, so the answer you get is a real answer, not a guess. Where a real-world figure genuinely varies, like bulk density or paint coverage, you can edit the default to match the product you're actually buying, and the article on each page explains the typical range.
No accounts, no data collection beyond standard analytics, and every calculation runs in your browser. If a tool you need is missing, or a result looks wrong, get in touch through the contact page.
