Initially when you approach Wickes at Farnborough you start to think, how good of a DIY store can…read morethis place be when the outside looks so dated, is so in need of a lick of paint and requires general modernisation. Unfortunately the trend continues inside, with very dated aisles and the whole place looking like it should make use of some of its own stock and trend the place up a bit. Notwithstanding the look of the place, you can get some extremely well priced DIY items here. I required certain bathroom items and when questioning staff they were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and presented me with alot of information that as a DIYer I would not necessarily have thought of (which will ultimately save me a bob or two!!). Helpful staff, competitive prices facelift required!!

Absolutely fantastic local shop selling high end items at reasonable prices. somewhat of a local…read morefamous shop iconic for the bins and mops/brushes placed outside of the shop. Often places such as robert dyas dont have some things which can usually be found here. Tools/plumbing equipment etc its all here. The stafff are helpful and can generally assist you with anything that you cant find or worry if it will work for the job you had in mind. Some items a little on the pricey side as I guess they cant get the discounts huge retail chains can get, but its family run, local and friendly. Worth paying a bit more for in my opinion.

By far the best hardware store in the area. Puts all the chain stores like Homebase and B&Q to…read moreshame with their amazing standard of service. 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.

Located in the heart of Lightwater village. This is a diy/general store…read moreThere aren't many diy shops close to the Lightwater area and this shop does have quite a range of diy items. Building, plumbing, carpentry and electrical items are all stocked Screws and bolts etc can be purchased singularly as opposed to by the pack, which you will not find in any other diy shop or builders merchants. It also caters for animal food, but this does come at a slightly higher price, but this is compensated by a friendly, knowledgeable service. Free off road parking to the front of the store

This meant taking 2 pieces home and working on them before bringing them back to the shop, mended. This is going beyond expectations, done with a smile and little to no reward for them. I have also found many odd items there that aren't available in supermarkets and other hardware stores. Highly recommended.
