A hardware store to satisfy any cook or handyman…read more This place seems to have just about everything you can think of, in fact, I can't think of anything else it could have. Even that slightly sawdust scent that goes with hardware stores. Now, this store does not carry the reputation of two that I have reviewed before. But if I lived in Wimborne, I'd be a happy camper. Collandars, graters, knives, tupperware, caddies, drainers, cookwareand then hammers, nails, screws, and thingummies. They also do garden furniture, indeed, there was a very rustic looking one on display outside. I really could have spent ages snooping around, but hey ho, time is the master of our lives. No fifth star because there seems nowher to park, so how are you going to lug your goods to the car?

This is a smallish store (by US standards) but has a very wide variety of household products. I…read moreagree with a previous reviewer who describes it as an old fashioned hardware store. I ended up finding the cable ties that I needed, after searching many other stores. The staff was helpful and directed me to the product I needed. I will keep it in mind as I did not know about it before.

A small but well stocked hardware / building supply store in the middle of Oxford. Robert Dyas is…read morea bit hard to locate as its on a back street of Oxford and around the corner. This is the kind of store I have in my hometown in the US. Just like here, even though they're small they've probably got what you need. I bought gardening tools their. They didn't have tools for a large garden but small ones perfect for the back yard.

For a smaller in-town store this compares well with the out of town DIY centres. Good level of…read morestock, and advice is given freely

This is the original "can do" shop. It is like the tardis the amount of stuff these guys have is…read moreamazing. I have yet to go in there and not walk out with what I was after. From fork handles to four candles they will have it. I dare you to try. All your hardware needs in one place. More fun than B&Q and with a smile a brown dust coat and a paper bag.

By far the best hardware store in the area. Puts all the chain stores like Homebase and B&Q to…read moreshame with their amazing standard of service. It doesn't matter what sort of DIY your trying to do there is always someone there who has the necessary knowledge to help you. It's only a small store but they make the most of the space and it's packed full of stuff, which although not as cheap as the superstores is worth it for the back up you get. The most handy thing they have is off to the side of the store. If you want wood cut to size they have a wall mounted cutter and will happily cut boards and planks to your exact requirements. I've not been here in some time but they certainly know their stuff and it's worth using them over anyone else in the area.

So, my girlfriend knew just the shop to bring me…read moreto visit on my trip to see her in Winchester Tucked away on a little side street close to the cathedral, Dinghams has 2 entrances. One is for the cookware and the other is for fireplaces though both shops are connected inside Over 2 floors, I found almost everything to satisfy the enthusiast cook in me. Little individual Le Creuset pots. Nice selection of proper chef's knives. Mustard spoons aka tiny spoons. Small selection of cookbooks. Somehow, I managed to walk out without buying anything though the prices did have a slight effect on that decision However, I dare say that I'll be making more visits here in the future. Now, if they could get in some molecular gastronomy kits and some slate plates, my resistance will definitely be broken.....

What a fantastic company. They were there at every step making sure we were happy. We had a…read moreContura stove fitted into our 1950's house which had an old fireplace and boiler in place. They helped us choose the right stove for the house and didn't charge to come and survey etc. The price was very reasonable compared to the other quote we had. The fitters took pride in their work and tidied up afterwards and ages oilng and polishing my new hearth. Thanks chaps!
