If you are a passionate hobby interior designer - go to the Fulham DIY shop.Going there most of…read morethere customers are electricians, builders etc. who go there as a regular to order wholesale. Before the smoking ban they even were allowed to enter in with their light cigarettes - that is how easy going this place is. From the bottom to the top there are shelving with anything from nails, toolboxes, tubes, window handles etc. I once made my way there as my window screw broke. They had several versions of my broken example and I could close my window in a couple of hours again. That was a relieve. They also have more stock in the backrooms, therefore whatever you need, ask - they might have it. What I appreciate, even though there is a counter where you get served, you are allowed to have a look around. The service is very polite even when you only buy 4 screws.

I've bought a fair few electrical items here over the years due to the frequent variety of fantastic offers they have on every week.

Simply the most useful shop in Notting Hill Gate, and long may it continue. My go-to place for…read moreanything from vacuum cleaner bags to flower pots. Amazing how much they manage to squeeze into a relatively small shop without making the place look cluttered. A slightly less useful branch recently opened down the road in Holland Park Avenue, concentrating on appliances, fancy kitchen accessories and gifts - but the original is still the best.

Called ahead to check if they sold to normal people or if you had to be trade only but anyone can come in. Vaguely described what I needed for my project over the phone with someone and he went and checked, found what he thought I could use and then gave me the correct vocabulary to describe it again when I went in. HELPFUL! They have taken over a few different shops on the road but when I went into one and asked for wire the man led me to the right section/department. Once inside I described what I needed and he gave me a few different options and let me test the wire's flexibility before I purchased. It was as cheap as I was finding it at other places and exactly what I needed. Very happy experience here. Thumbs up.
