In the middle of winter i needed some of those blue blocks you put in the freezer then in cool bags and although they didn't have any out, they went and got some from out back for me. I also just give them my blown bulbs and they find the same ones for me easily. It's not that i'm lazy - i'm just useless at getting the right bulbs! The prices are reasonable and there's usually a pricey and cheapo version of everything so you don't have to dint the budget too much - and let's face it - there's better things to spend your money on in Covent Garden that cleaning products!

How so? How so? I've been eating with plastic forks and all I needed was to pop in here and all my civilized desires would be fulfilled? Done. Score. A pretty large selection of home items, kitchenware, small appliances, hardware necessities, light decor, odds and ends...and basically you've piled up a bunch of stuff in a basket before you know it. I need everything! Bring it on, Robert D. Bring it on. Well priced (can surely score a deal) -- and they also have a web site for those folks that want to shop in their jammies. Free delivery offers on the regular (this one was 40+ quid to qualify). So nice to have knives! I cut some cheddar cheese last week with an exacto knife, things were getting ugly. Will def be back.

The great thing is they have quality items that are relatively inexpensive compared to a lot of the other DIY stores around. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and were a great help to me when I was doing research of stuff to get for my new flat. Starting over in a new town isn't easy, especially when you have to put together your home from scratch. These guys are a great place to start and help you save a quid or two.

It's the first place i go when i need a 'thing' and i'm not sure where to find it because they usually have it and if they don't they tend to know somewhere that does sell that 'thing' i'm after. There are always plenty of staff knocking about re-stocking so if you have any questions you'll easily find someone to ask. The prices are very reasonable and it's just a very handy store.

As so ably articulated in Amy M's review, Robert Dyas is a great shop to look for 'things'. They…read morehave some stuff for DIY to gardening tools to electrical connections to kitchen countertop gadgets. I have an addiction to kitchen gadgets and their big bold sales signs for kitchen gadgets usually draw me in. However, I've developed a good rule in not buying something immediately but coming back after an hour and usually the Chinese thrift gene has kicked in to save me buying something I don't really need. However, do look in here for simple gadgets, which may well cost less than elsewhere.

Don't buy anything electrical or with any kind of value here. The items sit in a damp store often…read morefor very long periods (no wonder electrical goods are unreliable here.) Paint & perishable items are also expensive and not uncommon for them to have sat there for ages and be close to expiry. A lot of cheap imported products barely fit for purpose and gathering dust. Worst of all if a product stops working after a few days or weeks the manager will literally make every excuse not to give you your money back and if that doesn't work he has no problem insulting your integrity. We have been there on several occasions and never thought about how many people are returning things.. However after witnessing the way the manager spoke to a customer visiting the UK yesterday and trying to return a faulty electrical device within 14 days, I decided to write this review. I won't be returning and nor will any of my contractors. Be warned... don't rely on what they tell you. Try Fulham Road or Brompton Road hardware stores for better pricing, better quality and a normal customer service and returns policy.

Having raided my Mum's charity pile, I found some lovely wooden tea light holders which could do…read morewith a new lease of life. So off I popped down to this DIY store. I have been here once before to pick up some very reasonably priced flower pots and compost. I had a list of three different colour paints, masking tape, craft brushes and sandpaper. Alike all DIY shops, this one was just as overwhelming, however, a member of staff was conveniently located in the front of the store. All you have to say is "sandpaper, please" and they will take you to the exact location. I listed all of my items one by one and was directed to them within seconds. There are many types of items to choose from, different brands and different budgets, to suit everyone. Located at the back of the store were a few shelves containing paint pots, but not the sample pots I required. I asked the kind gentleman whether they did any other paint, and to my surprise they had their very own mixing machine! I chose from hundreds of colours and they were able to whip the paint up in a jiffy. On the final pot of paint the machine decided to pack up! The staff were so friendly and kept apologising while they fixed the machine. I didn't mind waiting the extra ten minutes as they were very chatty - and I learnt how to purge a mixing machine! The three pots of 250ml paint came to just over £10 which is quite reasonable in my opinion. 6 craft brushes, 3 sheets of different roughness sandpapers, a roll of masking tape and 3 pots of 250ml paint equated to just over £16! I prefer to support local and independent businesses rather than going to the bigger 'super stores' and this store have done themselves proud. I received excellent service and at a great price. I'd definitely recommend this DIY shop to anybody! This e-mail is intended for the addressee only.

The have a good stock of a wide range of products for such a small store and have generally been able to point me in the direction of what I wanted when I wanted it. In terms of product quality, you get what you pay for, especially with DIY products - I have learned that lesson many times in the past, so the blame can't really lie with the vendor, more with the manufacturer and brand. Anyway, this place is quite expensive, but being in the centre of London what can you expect? Is a decent go-to place for urgent materials, but if you can get yourself to a bigger store to get your stuff, do so.

As a visitor to London, our electrical plug converter stopped working. All of the converters we…read morefound was to convert UK plugs to US, but not the other way around... until we found a US to UK converter at Robert Dyas at a reasonable price.

This is a great shop to get things you need around the home.

I must have spent a fortune in here over the years on different places I have lived in and have always found great value on everything. Its located on the A4 in the Slough Retail Park which also houses Comet and others and the retail park was recently bought up by the Crown Estates which is the trading arm of the Royal family. I thought they were claiming poverty?! One example of great customer service was when I needed another door that B & Q had been selling. They no longer stocked them but one of the staff rang many different stores until he located one and transferred it over. I had already costed out getting one made and it would have been £300 compared to the £45 at B & Q! This store (and probably B & Q in general) has gone way beyond DIY and sells all sorts of things, but unlike Homebase which has gone all frilly and sells everything you don't need (I couldn't even get a fuse box in Homebase recently) B & Q has retained its core product but has now gone way beyond that whilst still retaining key principles in DIY. The staff are very knowlegable as many are former Tradespersons and nothing is too much trouble. They have often ordered stuff in for me when they haven't had it. I'm sure millions of people on a budget have transformed their homes into little palaces thanks to B & Q. Well worth a visit.
