It doesn't matter what sort of DIY your trying to do there is always someone there who has the necessary knowledge to help you. It's only a small store but they make the most of the space and it's packed full of stuff, which although not as cheap as the superstores is worth it for the back up you get. The most handy thing they have is off to the side of the store. If you want wood cut to size they have a wall mounted cutter and will happily cut boards and planks to your exact requirements. I've not been here in some time but they certainly know their stuff and it's worth using them over anyone else in the area.

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 challenge you to find them out of stock of what you need, from the smallest screw to a fancy power tool. I could not live without Melvyn and his team.

Hmmm...... what's a keen home chef to do?…read more The chef's blowtorch that one can buy from John Lewis, Robert Dyas, etc are all the same small hand-held unit. Trust me, I've looked Frustratingly, the flame here isn't consistently powerful, especially with the passage of time and refilling the fuel from a butane cannister is slow Watching TV cookery shows made me envious when I saw the TV chefs wielding large and powerful blowtorches. On my recent to The Pass restaurant, I was able to chat to the chefs preparing my meal and they advised me to go to a hardware store and buy a professional blowtorch That's exactly what I did today. Wickes had a great looking professional blowtorch where you just twist off and replace the entire butane cannister when it's empty instead of needing to refill an integrated unit Watch out duck, scallops and creme brulee! Daddy's got a new professional blowtorch!
