Located in the heart of Lightwater village. This is a diy/general store…read moreThere aren't many diy shops close to the Lightwater area and this shop does have quite a range of diy items. Building, plumbing, carpentry and electrical items are all stocked Screws and bolts etc can be purchased singularly as opposed to by the pack, which you will not find in any other diy shop or builders merchants. It also caters for animal food, but this does come at a slightly higher price, but this is compensated by a friendly, knowledgeable service. Free off road parking to the front of the store

For day-to-day odds and sods, this is place to go. They stock every cleaning fluid known to mankind together with a range of home electrical goods and seasonal bits and pieces. Emergency plumbing, electric and DIY bits are all stocked and they often have some genuine bargains going on. The only let-down is the small counter, which can lead to some serious queuing if things get a bit busy.

I must have spent a fortune in here over the years on different places I have lived in and have always found great value on everything. Its located on the A4 in the Slough Retail Park which also houses Comet and others and the retail park was recently bought up by the Crown Estates which is the trading arm of the Royal family. I thought they were claiming poverty?! One example of great customer service was when I needed another door that B & Q had been selling. They no longer stocked them but one of the staff rang many different stores until he located one and transferred it over. I had already costed out getting one made and it would have been £300 compared to the £45 at B & Q! This store (and probably B & Q in general) has gone way beyond DIY and sells all sorts of things, but unlike Homebase which has gone all frilly and sells everything you don't need (I couldn't even get a fuse box in Homebase recently) B & Q has retained its core product but has now gone way beyond that whilst still retaining key principles in DIY. The staff are very knowlegable as many are former Tradespersons and nothing is too much trouble. They have often ordered stuff in for me when they haven't had it. I'm sure millions of people on a budget have transformed their homes into little palaces thanks to B & Q. Well worth a visit.

Rather than being one of the bigger chain stores, this is more of the old-fashioned (and friendly) type and seems to have so much in stock. The staff are very friendly and tolerate idiot questions such as: I'm looking for one of thoseerr. you know. You use them to. I need to xxx. What should I use? They even proactively offer advice along the lines of Remember that when you use this, you should make sure that. We were recently looking for some garden furniture and we had pretty much made up our minds on a product at Homebase and set off to go there. However, I wanted to call in at this store first for something else and was delighted to see a very similar product here. It was a set of garden table and chairs and the gentleman ran through a 'dry run' of assembly on the pavement with me! (The pavement is very wide, even offering room for parking.) So we saved over £100 by buying there! (http://photobucket.com) The store is very popular in Maidenhead, both with tradesmen/engineers and with the less technically gifted such as myself.

There is lots to browse and you never know what you will find. I stumbled across a very nice coal holder for the side of my fireplace and a good price too.This place is worth crossing town for.
