Love Wilko's!! My personal 'go to' place for any home essentials at a bargain price!…read more There's always an offer to be had on cleaning products which understandably no one likes to pay a hefty price for, and there is a pretty sizeable interior decoration section upstairs with all the basics you might need to decorate your bathroom, living room, kitchen, bedroom or garden! Yes it's cheap but actually a lot of it is pretty decent quality too. If your home is in need of a refurb without breaking the bank balance then Wilko's is your store! If you're a sucker for pick n mix at the cinema I'd recommend getting yourself here as they sell Candy King sweets at much cheaper prices. Sometimes a flashback to childhood is just medicine! The only downsides to Wilko's are that the staff always seem irritated if you ask them anything and you will normally have to queue for a fair bit at the tills even when it's quiet.

Hands down I am a huge Wilkinsons fan! After four years of depriving myself from Wilko goodies, I…read moream happy to say that Wilkinsons is still the cheap, reliable place I remember it to be. This is the type of store great for bargain hunters wanting to add some flourish and essentials to their house. This store is huge so I haven't explored it much beyond the pet and stationery sections (the most important bits!) YET, but I can say that these departments are well stocked with a wide selection. As you enter, there's escalators going upstairs to the home department and a cafe, to the right are back-to-school deals and food with 5 till points beyond that. Deeper into the store on the right is the stationery section (which has a good range off DIY and card making goodies) and the pet section is further in with another entrance/exit at the back of the store. The pet aisle is quite big with a good range of own brand treats and branded treats that don't come with the supermarket price tags. The only reason why I'm giving a four-star rating is that there are definitely not enough staff on the tills so the queue was quite long. Also I noticed a lot of dust around and on products... a few more staff members wouldn't go amiss.

Have used this company on several occasions now and I can say they provide a first class service…read more My first order was just for the spare room and I fitted it myself. I thought I did a great job, until I got Love Floors to supply and fit my lounge dinner. WOW! talk about a professional job. Every man to his own trade. The finishing touched make all the difference. Most of the house has laminate flooring now and its all down to this company. I don't normally give reviews but these guys are GOOD.

What can I say, I Love this shop. This is perfect for any women that love Home Interiors & Home…read moreFurnishings. This shop is really cheap and often has outstanding offers and reductions on. They stock everything from Cushion Covers & Duvet Covers to Candles, bath mats, bedroom furniture, pictures, craft making sets and much, much more. I go to this shop at least twice a month to see what new offers and reductions have been made. They have outlets all over the UK and whenever you want some space or some alone time, its the perfect place as the outlets are usually really big and spaced out and very rarely get really busy. This has to be my favourite shop ever.

I had a fairly complicated problem with projector/speaker connections and he didnt try to sell me the most expensive solution and worked out what i had been figuring out for days in a couple of minutes.

They have massive stock and an even bigger stock of components that I would have usually ordered from the internet, in this case, a laser diode, and they could give me the advice that I needed without anyone having to water things down too much. The staff are also very friendly, and its a pleasant shop to just stroll around and do some window shopping!
