Homebase is the only DIY store in Irvine but I prefer it to B&Q anyway.The store itself is kept immaculately clean and tidy.The range of products is to say the least substantial,The store is well laid out with good overhead signage to aid location of particular groups/dept.
The staff are always pleasant and courteous.When called upon I have to say that they are knowledgeable when it comes to product types and differences within type.
If you were needing something from the likes of Homebase etc, then you could do a lot worse than give them a visit, read more
