You need to have You Fix up in the North as we could do with a store like You Fix. I miss this hardware store and hope there will expand to more branches in the North of England.

Those who live to "do it yourself" you might just get a heart attack being overwhelmed with…read moreemotions by the sight of such a huge shop filled with tools and paints and brushes and plumbing and electrical equipment. In fact this would be your Disneyland. It is huge. You would need a few hours to browse through every thing here. Not all aisles will have someone to help you so if you have questions then you might have to walk about looking for a few salesman. Staff are friendly and helpful. I went here to buy kitchen drain unblocker and my oh my I was confused with the number of choices available. In the end I ended up picking one after doing some eeny meeny miny moe. But it was worth it. Clog cleared.

The worst 'customer service' I've experienced in my life. Absolutely awful…read more I was told to wait for someone to help me. I waited 20 minutes to then have to track someone down for them to tell me nobody was coming and that they didn't call someone, they just thought I would leave by now. This is on top of being ignored, run away from and intimidated by the security guard because I was standing and waiting in one spot for too long (where I was originally told to wait for help!). Contacted the manager who told me there was nothing to be done because they were short of staff (I'll just say that I was also the only customer in the store).

Having recently moved out for the first time myself I've been needing to get my own tools for the…read morevery first time since I have always before just used my dad's ones any time i needed something. So going out into the world of DIY shops and at first using a lot of the big hardware chains and pound shops too I saw a range of prices from quite high (several pounds for a simple screwdriver) to low priced but terribly built items (screwdriver that barely holds it's shape and is thus useless). This experience left me wanting a more personal experience, one where I can tell someone what I need to do and they can use their expertise to help me get just what I need and at a reasonable price. I found that experience at Johnny's DIY. I have had much more DIY success since buying from them because they actually know what i need the tools for and give me honest advice to help me. I cannot suggest strongly enough that you visit Johnny's DIY for your next home improvement project.

A brand new store with, I guess, the usual teething problems like getting the doors open…read more This is clearly B&Q moving forward as this one has touch screen computers to order your items on (think large iPads). So unlike the bigger stores there are certain things you cannot pick up yourself I.e. A kitchen cupboard. You have to order it via the touch computers then go to the collection point (think Argos) then get your item to the front if the shop where the tills are. A bit of a palaver really and I think it will add time into how long you are actually in the shop. Personally I prefer being able to pick up what I want when I want. It's bright and shiny and they had more staff on the floor than any other branch I have been to so that's a good thing.

If you blink, you will miss this little Lee High Road gem of a DIY store. The DIY Centre is as…read morelocal and independent of a business as you can get. It is owned by a lovely elder couple who are extremely friendly, old school and helpful. Had a minor Ikea furniture related disaster that needed some mending. Knowing what was needed, I headed here for a quick fix solution. The woman was quite lovely and gave me several options for what would work best. Needless to say, the whole interaction was pleasant, helpful and I will surely be back here in the (near) future for any quick DIY trips.
