It's located where John Lewis used to be, right underneath the Radio City tower, impossible to miss. They used to concentrate on selling DIY and hardware, however now they sell everything under one roof, from linen curtains to carpets to the traditional DIY. The store has been recently refurbished, and now has a cafe instore which even sells the traditional scouse! Everything is a reasonable price, considering it is an independent store and in my opinion is on track to compete with the big names in the business.

It has now expanded greatly and made the most of the former (and well recognised) George Henry Lee building. Rapid is now right in the heart of the city centre with many entrances you can't fail to walk past. The massive improvement is that the building is now fully refurbished to give customers an even better, brighter shopping experience all under one roof! It is still going to expand further in the not so distant future which is also great news. Additionally, there is a fantastic Signature Cafe in store serving hot and cold wholesome Liverpool favourites, including scouse (one of my favourites)! As a whole, Rapid is great value for money and has a huge range of quality goods. You won't be disappointed.

I rang up and was told it would be Monday, still no delivery. I rang again and was told Wednesday, still no delivery. I rang again and was told Thursday, still no delivery. I rang again and was told Friday, still no delivery. I have now waited in for 5 days and it still has not arrived. The annoying thing is that all the items were in the shop but was told that the items have to come from 3 different places. How can that be cost afective . I have had to cancel a gas fitter to install the items that i ordered . My advice is not to get your goods delivered as they couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.

There are plenty of staff floating around to ask for info (although actually pinning them down is another matter; you'll have to be quick on your feet). Look out for the regular special offer and 'seconds' sections (usually on the shelves right at the back of the store) and if you're into plants and gardening, the outdoor gardens section sells a vast selection of plants off - for pennies - on Saturday mornings. We've bought all our plants from this branch, and all have survived and thrived.

This branch in Long Lane is a fairly large establishment compared to the branch in Wavertree. They sell a massive variety of products for your home, no matter how big or small a job you have. Staff will be there to help choose or find your items and give you a price estimate for that new bathroom suite or laminate flooring. Prices in general for DIY essentials are not too bad, obviously depending on the brand and type of item. Most of the time, you will find what you are looking for and not have to run around in circles since they have well displayed signs for each category. Taskers is certainly a decent store and up there with the best; it sells quality products at competitive prices therefore it is always worth a gander.

They have a good selection of contemporary and conventional furniture styles. I've started saving for a new Parker Knoll chair. Although the business has been around 50 years and has a few stores around Liverpool, its still independently owned. Any queries will probably be answered by John Tasker son of the founder Jack. With their own kitchen designers, paint mixing, timber cutting and delivery services, this is an excellent alternative to soulless big chain shopping.

This is heavy duty hardware. Proper power tools for those who plan on tackiling real jobs and I don't just mean putting up shelves. There are things in here with motors, big motors. Looking at the gear in here, I imagined that Machine Mart catered for industry trade, and most of the things in here, generators, cement mixers and saws will certainly tackle professional jobs but most of the things are actually meant for domestic use! Lawnmowers with seats? This is Liverpool, hardly the home to stately lawns of Up State New York. Nonetheless if power tools are what you need, or just a typical bloke who wont grow up, then this is defo the place.

In addition, they have an extensive online range of goods where you can order items and a free brochure if this is more convenient for you. Personally I would have to visit the shop as it provides more of a picture of what you wish to buy, plus friendly staff are always there to assist you if you need any help and suggestions. Their range of goods includes anything from concrete mixers to power generators all of which are heavy duty, so there is no fuss to be made about quality. Although prices vary and sometimes they can be expensive, there's more than likely not going to be any disappointment as it's one of those specialist stores which you can trust. There's nothing you can really argue about.
