Yourself. It's really not difficult. Check out You Tube for how to regrip clubs and have a look at the likes of http://www.gamolagolf.co.uk/ to see what grips are available. If you don't feel too confident then your local Pro should be able to help.
Also do a search here for re-gripping.

I dont have a hook blade or vice clamps they say you need. American golf maybe?

It must be as your pro will usually only charge a couple of quid to put one on.

Why not buy a couple of extra cheap grips and have a practice first? I think you'll be surprised how easy it is, especially irons.

I agree with all the above, it really is pretty straightforward however I would get somebody to show you how to do one first as there are a few tips to make it simpler. Get it wrong and you end up with a grip that is half on half off or one that isn't straight. Once you've done a couple though it's a doddle.

My biggest tip if your going diy is make sure you have space. I've don't it a few times fine, but the last one I cocked right up as I done it in the lean too and not the garage

Very easy to do it yourself if you don't want to save the old grips and are happy to cut them off. Carefully use a hook blade and use plenty of solvent (put a paint tray or similar underneath to catch over spill and reuse it). If you re-grip regularly it's a good thing to learn. Lots of YouTube videos to watch showing you exactly how its done.

Little tip and Something that the Videos don't usually mention - Once fully on, hold in place on the top then pull the grip back slightly otherwise the grip can set stretched out.
Once fully on its surprising how much time you actually have to Move and align the grip.

Not helpful I know but I usually change my clubs rather than the grips!

Tap the butt end on the floor a few times to make sure the grip is all the way on.
Had a few that weren't quite fully on and it leaves a slightly "wobbly" bit above your hands.

I buy my grips on ebay (save about 10-20 pounds in most cases) and then re-grip myself! Its dead easy!
All you need is a Vice, drip tray, turps, New grip, Double-sided tape and a Stanley knife!
Take the old grip off with the Stanley knife.
Wrap new tape around
Turps inside the new grip and pour the excess on the wrapped shaft
Slide it on! Simples!

Any local golf pro, that way there is come back should there be any problems and less chance of buying cheap chinese copies.

With a few basic items and a little bit of practice you'll be wondering what all the fuss was about, in reality though if you've not done it before then it does seem a little daunting...
Is there anyone that you play with that may be able to give you a hand or oversee you whilst you do it, if not then 'YouTube' is your friend, watch the videos closely, several times!
I would offer to help you myself but with a name like 'Taffy78' and the fact that you've not provided details of your location I can only presume your in Wales and as I'm in South Devon there's a bit of a logistical hurdle...:smirk:
Good luck anyway...:thup:

Anyone tried doing it without a vice?

Yep. It's still easy.
Did it in the kitchen with nothing more than a Stanley knife to get the old grips off and scissors for cutting the grip tape into suitable lengths. And some newspaper for soaking up any spilled white spirit.
I dare say it might be a bit easier with a vice or a workmate type bench, but without was fine. (And that was the first time i tried it).
