Why Gen Z Prefers Paying for Fixes Over DIY – And How Weso Can Help

A recent survey by Halfords reveals a surprising trend: many Gen Z individuals struggle with basic DIY tasks. According to the findings, one in five young adults aged 18-27 don’t know what a spanner is, and a quarter don’t even know how to change a light bulb. Some even consider using a ladder “too dangerous.”

This raises an interesting question: Why is Gen Z opting to pay for household fixes rather than doing them themselves? The answer lies in a combination of factors, including renting culture, access to technology, and shifting priorities.

The DIY Decline: Renting and Convenience

One major reason for this trend is the rise of renting. With so many young adults living in rented apartments, they have fewer opportunities (and permissions) to engage in home improvement tasks. Landlords often prohibit tenants from making even small changes, such as drilling holes for shelves or changing light fixtures. As a result, there’s little incentive to learn DIY skills.

Another factor is convenience. Gen Z is highly adept at utilizing technology to solve problems, often turning to YouTube tutorials or outsourcing tasks through service platforms like TaskRabbit. Many prefer the efficiency of hiring a professional rather than spending time and effort figuring out how to do it themselves.

“We Can Just Pay for It” – The Changing Mindset

The cultural shift away from DIY extends beyond home maintenance. Some young people even struggle with tasks like setting up Wi-Fi routers or assembling furniture. As one student put it, “I do most things for myself, which I don’t recommend.”

This sentiment highlights a broader lifestyle trend: Gen Z values their time and is willing to pay for convenience. Instead of spending hours troubleshooting a clogged dishwasher or struggling with IKEA instructions, they prefer hiring experts who can get the job done quickly and correctly.
