If you are a passionate hobby interior designer - go to the Fulham DIY shop.Going there most of…read morethere customers are electricians, builders etc. who go there as a regular to order wholesale. Before the smoking ban they even were allowed to enter in with their light cigarettes - that is how easy going this place is. From the bottom to the top there are shelving with anything from nails, toolboxes, tubes, window handles etc. I once made my way there as my window screw broke. They had several versions of my broken example and I could close my window in a couple of hours again. That was a relieve. They also have more stock in the backrooms, therefore whatever you need, ask - they might have it. What I appreciate, even though there is a counter where you get served, you are allowed to have a look around. The service is very polite even when you only buy 4 screws.

Robert Dyas is a wonderful institution: a traditional ironmongers, with High Street store…read morelocations, for those not able to get to out-of-town shopping centres and retail parks. As well as ironmongery, they sell a wide range of kitchenware, kitchen electricals, and other household items. Great for torches, batteries, cleaning materials, plastic bowls, cooling fans and fan heaters - you name it. They have a fairly constant range of special offers, some of which offer very good value. Unfortunately, the wide range is the undoing of the small store in Earl's Court. The range is too wide, and therefore lacks depth, to really offer much choice. Sometimes they have what I want, but more often I make the trip instead to their larger store in High Street Kensington. That said, it has been useful for the odd emergency item and the staff have always been very friendly and helpful.

I've been here a few times now, and I'm always pretty impressed. It's a lot like a hardware store…read morein the middle of Manhattan - really small, but somehow they have everything you need! Maybe the selection isn't quite what you'd get at a huge Home Depot in the US, but that should be obvious from the get go, and if you just need something quick and you're in the area, this is your spot.

Don't buy anything electrical or with any kind of value here. The items sit in a damp store often…read morefor very long periods (no wonder electrical goods are unreliable here.) Paint & perishable items are also expensive and not uncommon for them to have sat there for ages and be close to expiry. A lot of cheap imported products barely fit for purpose and gathering dust. Worst of all if a product stops working after a few days or weeks the manager will literally make every excuse not to give you your money back and if that doesn't work he has no problem insulting your integrity. We have been there on several occasions and never thought about how many people are returning things.. However after witnessing the way the manager spoke to a customer visiting the UK yesterday and trying to return a faulty electrical device within 14 days, I decided to write this review. I won't be returning and nor will any of my contractors. Be warned... don't rely on what they tell you. Try Fulham Road or Brompton Road hardware stores for better pricing, better quality and a normal customer service and returns policy.

This is a brilliant place in this part of London find a hardware shop that's easily accessible and…read moreopen later is very difficult to do however I came across this place and was happy that I did because even though it was something small I wanted to purchase Francis who works in the shop was extremely helpful and patient I got exactly what I wanted at a great price and aside from selling hardware they sell lots of other very useful items for the home, leisure, children's toys, batteries and devices of all sorts so if you're in the area and you need a shop that seems to sell practically everything apart from food this is the place to go another 5-star review for a brilliant store I wish there were more places like this...

As a visitor to London, our electrical plug converter stopped working. All of the converters we…read morefound was to convert UK plugs to US, but not the other way around... until we found a US to UK converter at Robert Dyas at a reasonable price. The converter was under lock, and we had to find a store employee to unlock for us... he could have been a little friendlier. Despite the employee's attitude, we were glad to find a the converter.

This is a great shop to get things you need around the home. As well as the normal things you…read moreexpect to find in a household store like batteries, cleaners..etc.. you will also find various gadgets to help around the home. They are usually competitively priced and have good stock levels whenever I've needed anything from there. The staff are very helpful and on the few occassions that I've had to return an item, they have been very good in either exchanging the faulty goods or providing a refund without any hassle. All in all, a store you can rely on for your household needs.

It's surprising to see a small hardware shop doing as well as this in times of B&Q megastores, but…read morethriving Farmers appears to be. It certainly is if the unabashedly cheery and attentive mood of the staff is anything to go by. Every home decor product under the sun is packed in here, including some always artfully arranged in window displays that Selfridges would be proud of. I have to say though, I did find Farmers on the expensive side, more than once having to recoil when told prices. Still, perhaps this key to their success. The steady stream of Fulham road customers (and their bulging wallets) don't seem to complain about value-for-money. Extensive paint shop is next door and keycutting is available.

Whilst these guys will probably stock what you need, expect it to be extremely expensive. They seem…read moreto think that because they're based on the Fulham road that gives them carte blanche to charge obscene prices for things. A case in point - getting 5 keys cut cost me £30.50. They didn't tell me the price beforehand and when I collected the keys and complained about the price they were rude and evasive. Its handy having them so local but you REALLY pay the price. When I needed another set of the same keys cut, I got it done in the similarly affluent Notting Hill for £15. Bit more reasonable!!
