If you only need one thing it is probably just as cheap to come here and far easier.

You pay a hefty premium for the convenience and location though, so be aware that it might well be much cheaper elsewhere.

It used to be where Toys 'r Us now is but moved to its current larger premises around five years ago. The store is excellent for buying anything DIY related and also for looking at furniture for the home. The garden section is good, but the selection of plants isn't as good as B&Q. Look out for good deals on their home furniture, kitchens and bathrooms. We recently purchased a couple of sofas on a two for one offer.

They do sell the more traditional diy items and products such as tools and diy materials. The only problem I find with them is that of the major DIY stores such as B&Q and Wickes, Homebase is really the most expensive across all ranges. OK, they have great paint ranges and a whole range of tools, screws and bolts, but I don't really want to pay up to twice as much as I could get the same item for is somewhere like Wickes.
