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.

Both are definately worth a look as they are like little aladdins caves, full of treasures and certain to have what you are looking for! Staff are really knowledgable and are happy to answer any questions you may have or point you in the right direction if you are stuck. Prices are reasonable, no more expensive than anywhere else in the town and generally I've always found there is a really nice atmosphere to both shops.

I've had them lie to me when I've ask for something and they give you something else many times. Then instead of just doing a simple swap they turn this into a massive problem calling you names under their breaths, thinking you can't hear. They normally seem very helpful and seem to want to help but god help anyone who has to return something or just swap etc.. My last visit turned into all 3 of them swearing at me and shouting, being very rude and aggressive. All because I asked for pure brilliant white paint and they gave me just white. Nothing bad but they went mad calling me all sorts of things. I was extremely shocked over something so small a problem. I was happy to pay the extra and did. One of them I've had many problems with as he's either got things wrong or just doesn't listen to what u ask for. But still I never moan I just ask for them to get a different paint. I've never had a shop keeper come at me before looking like he was going to punch me (calling me a c#@t. Especially over something so stupid. I just couldn't understand why someone would be so angry for just swapping paints. They've mix wrong paints a few times and my customers have gone in there and came out very angry with them to. Would never go here again and I would suggest going to another store if possible. If you have any issues, they can't handle problems very well. Many times I've walked into their shop with them swearing at each other but I just get on with what I need whilst ignoring them.

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.
