Wow! This place really manages to pack in a TON of DIY and household stuff. You will be amazed by…read moreeverything they stock. If you live around here, you can save yourself a trip to Rapid and buy your hammer, saw, gloves, or garden stuff here. Definitely a great little DIY shop that provides all the basics and essentials for pretty darned good prices. They don't have *everything*, but they do have a lot.

The staff are knowledgeableand helpful with tips and information, if they haven't got it and can't get it they will attempt to find out where you need to go to find it. Although not 'Superstore' size the stock level are amazing and the personal service is first class. From a tack and beyond this is the 'DIY' shop with a difference.

On entering this small store I became aware of the Tardis like place that it is, since my list contained electrical needs, glass replacement, glue, and brass brush to clean metal. All requirement were satisfied including advise. A far better choice than a large departmental type store where you can never find help and have to walk miles to find what you need for a small project. If your a home owner this is the place to start for that thing that will silence the wife and earn you Boy Scout point!

They're officially a hardware…read moreshop and they're tucked away in a residential street but they're very very busy and rightly so. They sell everything you can think of that's remotely hardware-ish and although the prices are more than, say, the supermarket, they're dead handy so you don't mind. They're reliably open, they have a lot of staff so can always serve you and advise you. They don't mind you bobbing in just for advice, even when you don't buy anything. There's usually some kind of parking along the nearby streets so that's not a problem. There's a reassuring smell of hardware-shop-timber when you walk in - its defintely a man's domain! Lovely.

It's worth visiting if only to catch a whiff of sawdust, also known as the international smell representing things getting done, manfully. This is a store that looks at glossy bungler-havens like B&Q before shaking its head and smiling with a faint air of pity. The place is so comfortable in its mettle that it doesn't need to tidy up. Tools and bits of wood are strewn across the bare floorboards and you half expect the back corner to be occupied by a burly blacksmith belting a horse-shoe into shape. That's not to say it's arrogant. The staff here are superlatively helpful and will listen with eager patience as you waffle on about what angle of doorstop you need or what kind of hammer you require to wrench nails out of a botched picture frame. Then they shall find the item within arm's reach, making you feel like an utter cretin. Also, they cut keys.

A place a man can get any hardware and, tool stuff he needs to, chop things and, drill stuff. I went in purely to have a look around for a review and see what is what. I have very little need to often shop in these places, even when working for tv drama art departments I tend to just have a bash at hammering something with anything heavy and blunt or just use gaffer tape - usually solves any problem. So I went in. Yep, screws, drills, hinges. Until I was asked 'need any help?' And obviously not wanting to look a complete pleb by giving the usual 'just looking' - because I am in a specialist, hardware shop and must have reason for being there - I ended up leaving with a tube of polyfilla and and a bag of nails. Damn this male pride.

It does the general diy stuff you'd expect with some gardening stuff, furniture, and a good selection of homeware such as crockery, bedding, and they do plenty of nice things to decorate the house. The best thing is if you sign up for a free spend and save card so every time you buy something, you get points and these add up to vouchers to use in store. Another bonus is that they have 10% off days quite frequently where everything, even reduced stuff has 10% off. We've dropped on some great savings here and often wait for these weekends to save money. Customer service is great here and if you need to return something you can do it without much trouble at all. All its missing is a coffee shop!

Keep things local. Next time you think about driving to B&Q, just go to Ali's instead. He'll sort you out and he'll do it with a smile on his face too.

And then there are wellies, brooms, flower and vegetable seeds and bedding plants. There's an electrical section too with plugs and extension leads and also toasters and kettles. They also sell calor gas, smoke free coal and kindling. True to form I came away with a new mop and mop bucket.
