They will mix up in minutes any shade of paint from their range of thousands, at reasonable prices. They also have a wide range of wallpaper including posho designer stuff as well as a range of DIY gear (although some of this can be found cheaper elsewhere). They offered me a 10% discount card which has been well used and you also get Nectar points on your purchases. My only complaint is that as there are so many colours available they don't have the full range of samples on the display - you might need to ask to see swatches if you want a specific shade. Oh, and if you buy a sample tin for around £3/4 the price will be refunded when you buy the full tin.

Always outstanding customer service. Nothing is too much trouble. Thank you. A surprisingly good…read moreselection in a small Shop.

Another great hardware store on Gloucester Road…read more My girlfriend and I wanted some paint to paint a table we acquired. We popped in as I was sure I'd seen tins of paint last time I went in. Turns out they've got a full Dulux paint mixing machine with a paint chart - sorted! We picked our colours, gave them to matey-boy and then had a mooch while he mixed his magic. The shop is full of nic-nacs from flower bulbs, paint brushes, toilet seats, taps and washing up bowls. if you need it, they've probably got it. There always seems to be a lot of staff. Probably because they get asked lots of silly questions by people like myself, but there was no waiting around. All of the guys were really helpful. One had just come back from his stag do and was covered in fake tan - David Dickinson style - oh how we laughed! Bishopston Hardware is a great shop with great staff. It's so handy that it's at the end of my road!

What it does have now is little showroomy bits that display their kitchen and bathroom goodies. My builder doesn't reckon much to the B&Q kitchens but a friend who has just got one thinks it's ok. There's also a big new carpet and flooring part, but with the carpets they will just sell you it but not fit it, so if you are doing the stairs it's a bit challenging. Beige is in.

I like the fact there is usually an assistant at the doorway to welcome you and help direct you to your chosen location if lost. There is a large display of both bathrooms and kitchens on display to whet your appetite and if you don't want to fit them yourself, B&Q does an excellent fitting service. Around the remainder of the store there are aisles for woodwork, plumbing, electrics, paint, wallpaper, power tools - and that's just for starters. There is a huge choice of many of the post popular brands and at competitive prices. There is even a well stocked garden centre

A standard B&Q warehouse next to Sainsbury's. It stocks the usual range of DIY equipment, but for…read morethose who haven't shopped here for a few years, be aware that it has shrunk significantly in size. It is now about half it's original size, so it stocks a lot less than it used to, and the garden centre range of plants seems to have been the section cut the most - there is very little choice now, so if you're looking for plants, go elsewhere. Since the massive B&Q was built at Cribbs Causeway (about 3 miles away) this place is now much quieter, so it makes it easier to shop at, and you're more likely to get help from the staff.

I'm not sure they've kept their finger on the financial pulse all this time because things can still be a little dear. Of all their achievements over the last century or so they seem most proud that you can still by everything here in the quantity you need; for comedy factor alone pop in and buy one nail or one screw! Jokes aside the range of stuff is pretty impressive with all the paints, glues, gardening equipment, DIY kit and so much more that you could possibly wish for. They've been here a long while and I'm not surprised.

Basically it sells everything and very cheaply!! You can get cleaning products, biscuits, crisps, baby stuff, art and craft stuff, cleaning equipment, pet supplies, home supplies, garden stuff, diy stuff, it really is amazing! At the back of the store are a couple of aisles of bits and bobs (scres, hooks, hinges and things) which is great if you need to repolace something tha is broken. I've nearly thrown things away when a catch or something breaks but often when I look in proper job they bizarrely seem to have excatly the thing I need. They have a carpark round the back (which is good as parking on worle high street can be difficult).

Bristol Tools is a no nonsense store specialising in hand tools, but stocking a whole lot more. I…read morebought a spade here for £6.99 the other day, and so can vouch for the affordable prices they charge. But it's the sheer choice of products that impresses you most, many of which possess a latter day charm as well as a price tag to match. I'm sure that if I looked hard enough I'd find gold mining pans and twin handled lumberjack saws! If you can't find it here, then you won't get it anywhere else. Services include key cutting and blade sharpening, although if you bought your tools from here you won't need to use the latter so often. All of them are made using the finest steel and come replete, in most instances, with finely crafted wooden handles; there's no shonky steel and badly matching plastic moulded handles at this store - you'll have to go to Rajani's for those.

Having been on the same corner since 1973 the guys in here are incredibly knowledgeable. Every bit of DIY and every odd job about the house has always led me here. One of the things that really sets this shop out above the rest for me is how it is customer focussed in every sense. Their priority is getting you what you need. If they don't have what you want, for example, they'll call other hardware shops in Bristol before ordering it in. If they do have to order it in, it's always within 24 hours. The guys here are also very proud that they haven't 'sold out' to specialise in power tools. Like many businesses in the area they keep it traditional, local and very hands on.
