Though they look at you funny if you say you're going to do something like fit your own lock. Which is odd. But OK with me, as they're reasonably cheap. And my house is now properly secure.

We recently bought a home in Balham and I have been coming to this shop quite a bit for various DIY…read moreneeds and products. It is not big by any means but they have had the products needed on site for everything we've needed done, apart from one large toolbox, which I ordered for pick-up the next day. You can order you anything you need from an endless stack of DIY catalogs for pick up at their shop next day. I am new to DIY and the best part of going to Force is the professional advice the owner is happy to provide. He is very honest (even if it means selling you a cheaper, more appropriate product than an expensive one you may have been planning to buy from him). His advice is also clear, simple, and optimistic that you can easily achieve your DIY goals. So far he has never said he couldn't help us or something couldn't be done. He has always had a simple easy solution and the products to support it. In case you have a specific DIY need, some of the items he has helped with and provided the perfect products for include: 1) a new rubber liner for our shower splash guard (by the way, Home Base told us we had to contact the splash guard's maker, but Force had the perfect universal liner for all splash guards in stock) 2) fixing a shower head issue 3) replacing the Swiss plugs of our appliances with British plugs (we just came from Switzerland and have about 10 appliances that needed it) 4) relocating a light switch 5) Painting a built in shelf 6) Filling some wall damage in with the right filler 7) Finding the right drill and drilling to fix some items to the wall 8) Fighting a slug infestation 9) Reconstructing the inside of a fixed wardrobe with new clothes hanging poles Also, the shop seems to be well stocked with paints, bathroom equipment, yard tools, and, of course, your various DIY odds and ends. I have also been amazed at how cheap many of his products are. Additionally, he has often given me free small items to accompany my jobs when I make a purchase or he has offered to exchange a few of my smaller purchases for the better, more expensive version free of change when I am checking out. The owner of Force is simply a nice guy who's standing by to help you with anything you need. It's so nice, having just bought a house to have such a great shop around the corner to encourage and help with our DIY endeavors and I hope to use his shop alot as we make changes to our home. P.S. If you're concerned about parking, Force is right next to a massive Sainsbury's parking lot.

I have popped in to Force Homecare on a few occasions when at a loss as to where to find some help…read morewith small projects. I couldn't have been more grateful or pleased with the kind help of the owner. He was very generous with his time and advice on each occasion and even though I didn't need any big ticket items, he worked with me until my needs were sorted. If there is something that you need that is not available in store, it can be ordered right away. I would highly recommend this homecare store.

We moved to the area over a year ago and bought a flat that needed a bit of work. We are not…read morebuilders but painting and other cosmetic changes we could handle. The great thing was having this Homebase about a mile from home. Its a fairly big version and has plenty of parking. Inside there are all the relevant sections for us, paint, wood, tools, nails, etc. The garden section is also very extensive and we have spent some time there in the Spring picking out bits and pieces. My only criticism would be the check-out, it has to be the slowest around. I also had to wait ages for someone to help mix some paint even though there were only a handful of customers in the place. However it is convenient and the prices are good.

It's pretty suprising to find this huge store smack in the middle of West Norwood. The area is not…read moreexactly flourishing at the moment but none the less, B&Q is much needed in the area. I always see people going into the store when I am around there and there are quite a few people in the store on weekends which makes it a bit crowded. They've got two floors and you will find more of the smaller screws upstairs. They've got parking at the back which could be quite convenient and a nightmare to get to. There is no parking at the front and be prepared to take a while to get into the car park at the back as traffic in West Norwood can be quite horrific at times.

Excellent quality plant stock sourced from local nurseries as far as possible. None of your 'buy one get the weeds free' perennials or straggly veg plug plants here.

Where else might you find a walnut tree along with your Hunters wellies?

Arguing I had already ordered the pot and that it was not 4pm yet wasn't worth an effort. I would only point out that probably this is not the right way to treat customers and that yesterday they have certainly lost one for good.
