TEARING out a room and refitting it is a job often left to professionals but when it came to giving a Keynsham counselling service a new look, the job fell to a team of five students with hardly any DIY experience between them.

The University of Bath team re-fitted the reception area at Off The Record as part of their business administration course.

They painted, furnished and oversaw the installation of a new carpet in just two days.

Linda Robey, a worker at the centre which helps under-25s, said: "It has far exceeded any of my expectations."
