I ended up finding the cable ties that I needed, after searching many other stores. The staff was helpful and directed me to the product I needed.

You can buy everything you could possibly need there, from tools to screws and nails to electrical and plumbing supplies. They cater for tradesmen but also for the general public and they are so unbelievably helpful and will advise you on what you need for a certain job. You can also just buy one or two of something rather than a whole packet unlike its competitors homease and b and q! They do key-cutting while you wait too. There is plenty of parking at the side of the store, which is situated on Ock Street.

I have found the prices in comparison with chain stores mixed though more often than not they are cheaper. I love the second hand furniture they sell. There is some really retro stuff on occasion.

If you only need one thing it is probably just as cheap to come here and far easier. And they sell things individually so if you only want 1 screw to finish a job but it has to be an exact size then this is a far better option.

You can also go in and talk about what you think you need, and they will give you suggestion and ideas on how to do things quicker, cheaper and more robustly. You can buy single or multiple screws, in just about every size and thread, and everything i've ever needed has been in stock - from bird food to cable to key cutting and paint. They cut pieces of wood to specific dimensions for a small amount of money, and this makes most things much easier. They work in both metric and imperial measurements. It is a great place for whatever odds and ends you may ever need.

I was very surprised the first time that I shopped there because I assumed that it would be a bit more expensive than the likes of B&Q. This was not the case; for many items they are cheaper. What keeps me loyal to this shop is the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. They give good advice and do not automatically steer customers to the most expensive options. This shop is off the beaten path but well worth a visit, especially during spring and autumn when they stock a lot of plants. It was a year before I ever entered this store after relocating to East Oxford; now I wish I hadn't waited that long - this place is a gem.

It doesn't matter what sort of DIY your trying to do there is always someone there who has the necessary knowledge to help you. It's only a small store but they make the most of the space and it's packed full of stuff, which although not as cheap as the superstores is worth it for the back up you get. The most handy thing they have is off to the side of the store. If you want wood cut to size they have a wall mounted cutter and will happily cut boards and planks to your exact requirements. I've not been here in some time but they certainly know their stuff and it's worth using them over anyone else in the area.

The customer service is very good and the staff are extremely knowledgable and the best thing is it reminds me a little bit of the shop in 'Open all hours'. Would definatley recommend.

Mostly they have been able to supply the item, and when not, been very helpful in suggesting alternative places that may stock it. We have also bought several plants from them.
