Despite other bathroom installers stating that the bathroom door has been fitted entirely incorrectly, Homefit are denying this. We now have an incorrectly fitted shower door, damaged cabinet door, and yet another leak, in which we have been required to hire another plumber to address. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

Lakeland is a chain of kitchenware shops based in Cumbria that has outlets all over England and…read moreScotland. It has kind of crept up on me but the shop is pretty huge, selling every kind of baking tin, kitchen equipment and home appliance that you could think of. Behind it there is a mail order section providing three catalogues so everything is covered. The shop seems brand new and is quite large. You might well need the help of the staff, who are friendly and pleasant, to find things. If you want a specific baking item or saucepan this is the place to go.I'd come here for sugar cake decorations, handsomely decorated tins and saucepans. Everything is good quality. There's a selection of china and foodie gifts, but the main focus is practical kitchenware. Lakeland has become so big that it is somewhat generic but undoubtedly has its place.

So I decided I'd bake my mum a birthday cake...and now I'm so full of regret as I never realised…read morehow difficult it is. Thankfully however Lakeland exists and has every colour of icing you could need and every instrument, tool and appliance you can think of to help with your masterpiece. Lakeland has a huge range of culinary delights, cleaning products, coffee machines, kitchen aids, beer/ wine/ cider making kits and lots of other handy devices that are super tempting but you really have to question if you would get enough use out of it. Prices can be quite expensive but all items are high quality. Staff are super friendly and really helpful. Here's hoping I can mould the pretty fuschia coloured icing I bought into something that resembles a flower or mother may be birthdaycakeless.

Fancy yourself as a bit of a Gordon Ramsey, without the swearing? Well if you do there's one place…read morein Belfast you should go to get all your equipment. Cook Stop literally stocks every cooking accessory you could think of. From cookery clothing (Aprons, chef's whites and event those comedy tall chef hats that you see in cartoons), accessories such as large casserole dishes and super electronic whisks. Honestly if you are looking for anything food or catering related make cook stop your first stop. I came in to look for chefs aprons and instead of hoking through their vast stock I approached a friendly staff member who took me straight over and helped me pick the right ones. You'd think that because this was a dedicated cooking shop that they'd inflate the prices but it was actually really reasonable and much better quality than other places I looked.

Shankill Furnishings is another of the businesses in this area to have benefited from a recent…read moreregenerative scheme to improve and update the shopfronts along the road. The sign has exactly the same design and lettering as Shankill Bedrooms a few doors down but as I was told by the lady in the shop, the two shops are entirely separate. It's another small local furniture outlet which is pretty squeezed for space. There is a selection of dining and living room furniture including some of the imported Mexican pine variety but basically the stock does not differ much from other outlets of a similar size.
