The ladies are brilliant, really helpful and pointed me to their website if I was after something that wasn't on show...I can not recommend this place enough, its guaranteed you'll not find most of this stuff anywhere else and if you do they can't match the price....I love it and will be back.

Yorkshire Trading is located nearer the Sainsbury's end of Manor Walks Shopping Centre mall in…read moreCramlington. It is easily accessed from either the Sainsbury's carpark or the central carpark outside of the Subway shop. The store has a large staircase outside of it but it can be accessed if you have a wheelchair or pushchair via a ramp that leads alongside the florist shop at the central entrance doors of the mall. The store has two windows which are always set up in an attractive display showing what products they sell. In actual fact it would be quicker to say what they DON'T sell! From gardening equipment, tools, pain, household furnishings, cards, clothes, pet accessories, cleaning products, vitamins, books, underwear, fabrics, toys, stationary, sweets, ornaments and everything else for the home - this is my first port of call when I'm looking for a specifc item at the cheapest price. The store is huge and the aisles are qite narrow. Paint, tools and garden stuff is on the left. Clothes are on the right. Staionary and clothing accessories are in the central aisles. Fabrics are at the back of the store. You can actually buy ready made curtains etc or buy your own length of fabric from rolls. Everything else the sell is located in the far right hand side of the store. It is usually quite messy inside as buyers tend to rummage through the stock and leave it on the floor. Staff are always to be found around the shop to help you. There are often high wall displays where you will need to ask a staff member to retrieve an item. There are usually queues at the tills (there are about 3 or 4 tills). The staff are very nice and friendly though.

Since moving into the area I am a regular visitor to browse around the store. Inside the store they sell a full range of items from clothes, to party bags, to fabrics and materials. I always love the back end of the store where all the crafty items are, including ribbons and craft items at a hevily reduced price to clear the stock! You can get pretty much anything in this store, a must for anyone!

Love Wilko's!! My personal 'go to' place for any home essentials at a bargain price!…read more There's always an offer to be had on cleaning products which understandably no one likes to pay a hefty price for, and there is a pretty sizeable interior decoration section upstairs with all the basics you might need to decorate your bathroom, living room, kitchen, bedroom or garden! Yes it's cheap but actually a lot of it is pretty decent quality too. If your home is in need of a refurb without breaking the bank balance then Wilko's is your store! If you're a sucker for pick n mix at the cinema I'd recommend getting yourself here as they sell Candy King sweets at much cheaper prices. Sometimes a flashback to childhood is just medicine! The only downsides to Wilko's are that the staff always seem irritated if you ask them anything and you will normally have to queue for a fair bit at the tills even when it's quiet.

Hands down I am a huge Wilkinsons fan! After four years of depriving myself from Wilko goodies, I…read moream happy to say that Wilkinsons is still the cheap, reliable place I remember it to be. This is the type of store great for bargain hunters wanting to add some flourish and essentials to their house. This store is huge so I haven't explored it much beyond the pet and stationery sections (the most important bits!) YET, but I can say that these departments are well stocked with a wide selection. As you enter, there's escalators going upstairs to the home department and a cafe, to the right are back-to-school deals and food with 5 till points beyond that. Deeper into the store on the right is the stationery section (which has a good range off DIY and card making goodies) and the pet section is further in with another entrance/exit at the back of the store. The pet aisle is quite big with a good range of own brand treats and branded treats that don't come with the supermarket price tags. The only reason why I'm giving a four-star rating is that there are definitely not enough staff on the tills so the queue was quite long. Also I noticed a lot of dust around and on products... a few more staff members wouldn't go amiss.

I commisioned Dalisa Fireplaces to both design and install a log burner in our home, replacing a…read morevery old, open fireplace. All aspects of design and installation were discussed and it became clear even at this stage that this company has a considerable level of expertese and experience in this field. This became even more apparent when the work started, efficient clean and a very high quality of finish. Fully qualified Hetas installers completely took away the hassle of building regulation and certification. Price, i struggle to use the word 'cheap', simply because nothing about our new log fireplace is, but the price we paid was extremely competative compared to others, in fact much less than others. All in all i would recommend this company unreservedly to others. Pete South tyneside
