You can buy everything you could possibly need there, from tools to screws and nails to electrical and plumbing supplies. They cater for tradesmen but also for the general public and they are so unbelievably helpful and will advise you on what you need for a certain job. You can also just buy one or two of something rather than a whole packet unlike its competitors homease and b and q! They do key-cutting while you wait too. There is plenty of parking at the side of the store, which is situated on Ock Street.

If you only need one thing it is probably just as cheap to come here and far easier. And they sell things individually so if you only want 1 screw to finish a job but it has to be an exact size then this is a far better option.

I was very surprised the first time that I shopped there because I assumed that it would be a bit more expensive than the likes of B&Q. This was not the case; for many items they are cheaper. What keeps me loyal to this shop is the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. They give good advice and do not automatically steer customers to the most expensive options. This shop is off the beaten path but well worth a visit, especially during spring and autumn when they stock a lot of plants. It was a year before I ever entered this store after relocating to East Oxford; now I wish I hadn't waited that long - this place is a gem.

We refused delivery and shortly after the money was deducted from our bank,we are still waiting on this being returned 9 days later.

Strangely, and unexpectedly, the service here is amazing! I…read moresay that because at most normal hardware outlets (read 'B&Q') you are served by people who seem quite inept (sure there are many that are not). Always with a smile, always with a view to actually helping you. The people are knowledgeable and will even point you toward cheaper alternatives that will do the job you have in hand just as well as the product you initially came in for. Therein lies the best part of interacting with the staff here: they want to understand the job you are doing first, and then they will sort you out with the right product. I've bought a range of fence panels, treated wood for external construction, screws and bolts of different types and even had these delivered to my home address. Great quality and service from my arrival to product delivery. I happily travel that little extra distance to go here and get my stuff.
