It's not a particularly large store but it is one which I find poorly laid out and cramped. In terms of price rarely is Homebase competative with the rest of the market - for hardware I'd favour Wickes (about 1/2 a mile down the road) and for Homeware the newly re-opened Focus on the opposite side of town. The plant section is possibly the only reason to visit although it's expensive and you need to be careful about the quality. There's lots of free parking although if you're buying something large there are not that many accessible spaces (and the problem is compounded by the store being next to Sainsbury's).

They're so bad that I even make my 2 year old wait till he gets home preferring the risk that he won't make it to the risk from the toilets!

Handy store for picking up those diy essentials! Free parking at the front of the store. Toilets on the way in. Cash points by Sainsburys (next door)

Not only was the cost under five pounds, you let me open it up and test it to make sure it gave me laptop charge. About 3/4 mile from the Olympia.
