Community project · DIY SOS Bray
The Bray episode of DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland was first broadcast on Sunday 18 October 2026 at 6:30pm on RTÉ One. This update celebrates the finished home and recognises the tradespeople we helped connect with the project. See the photographs below and visit the official RTÉ Player programme page for current episode availability.
A community effort in Bray
The supplied reveal-day photographs capture volunteers gathering outside the Leonard family’s home, alongside the finished rooms and outdoor spaces. This was a build supported by a much larger team of volunteers, tradespeople, suppliers and the programme’s production and construction teams.
Trade Source IRE’s contribution was to help source and introduce four independent trade businesses. They volunteered their time and skills, working directly with the build team. We did not subcontract or manage the construction.
The four tradespeople we helped source
A sincere thank-you to each of these companies for answering the call and taking part:
The roles above are the contributions recorded in our original DIY SOS trade-support update. The finished-home photographs celebrate the overall build; they are not individual claims about who completed a particular room.
A first look at the completed home
The new photographs show a finished kitchen, carefully detailed interiors, fitted storage, a shower room, and the front of the property. They offer a closer look at the work that went into the home featured in the Bray episode.

Our thanks to everyone involved
Sean, Andrei, Yuriy and Robert were part of a wider collective effort. We are grateful to them, the other volunteers, the suppliers and the DIY SOS crew for the time and work they put into the Bray build. A finished home is the result of many people doing their part.
