Katie and now Michael have been truly attentive and found ,ordered , and have now delivered tiles for a flooded bathroom insurance claim .The original project was completed 14 years ago and tiles originally provided by another supplier . These tiles have been delivered today and come from Germany , Material Plans only had our enquiry late last week . I thoroughly recommend this company .”

“Very helpful, popped in today to get a Oak mantel and customer service was amazing very helpful, answered my questions and I am very pleased with my mantel”

“I popped into the store to get an idea of what I’d be looking at cost-wise and to get some inspiration for tiles. Fay was really helpful and gave me a booklet with a variety of the products they have in store, along with a brochure containing all the store’s information in case I needed help from anyone in the team. We noted down some of the tiles I was interested in, and I also picked up a few of the traders’ cards they had on display. I would highly recommend this store if you have any projects coming up or are redeeming”

“Thankyou so much. You were really kind & helpful when I lost my hearing aid...possibly in your store...I cant believe I managed to find it on the pavement up Elm Grove...a miracle. But thankyou for kindness. (I couldnt find a phone number to call) Best regards”

“I love this shop too. For 12 years I've popped in buying all sorts form 50p washers upwards and they always seem to have what I need, very competitive pricing and someone friendly and knowledgeable to serve me! Unless you want a loaf of bread (and there's a decent baker next door for that) you'll get want you want here! Well done HH!”

“This place is a total gem, I first encountered it buying thousands of zips at an amazing price. I spent ages looking at all the available stock, much of which I desired :) Everything is arranged beautifully and clear pricing. I'd rather buy from here than from amazon,b&q, etc. Check it out, you won't be disappointed, what you got loose? Get more tools for you money and it's saving the planet :)”

“Really good service helped me with my issue and recommended a solution that did not require me to buy anything from them. They are not looking for a sale they are looking to help the consumer. Not enough company’s like this. Highly recommend I will be going back for any bits I need. Also they had plenty of stock.”

“I can highly recommend James. I found him online, and used his services just once so far, but he will be my go to for any fixes I need around the house in the future. Very quick response from initial contact, on a Friday evening! Got around to me very quickly and did a quality repair job for me. Very happy. Cheers James, much appreciated!”

“I use Toolstation and have done for some time as opposed to Screwfix. Toolstation are excellent especially the staff at Newhaven. Always have my order ready, are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. A professional service and exemplar customer experience. Well done.”

“A great shop, full of all the bits you need and always worth going there before any of the bigger chain DIY stores. Great staff, always friendly and knowledgeable and always sensible prices.”

“Very helpful owner, friendly and knowledgeable. Good range of products too.”

“An enjoyable experience from start to finish. Damian came round after lending us a huge book of carpet colour swatches to have an easy no pressure chat which helped to guide us in the right direction. After the order was placed the installation by the two fitters was very proffessional and friendly. If you are looking for a trouble free proffessional job at a reasonable price look no further. Thoroughly recommended.”

“Best roofing supply in Brighton staff is amazing”

“Would never buy paint ever from anywhere else. Gary (clearly an ex professional) gave me the best advice on paint choice mindful of the environment it’s going into (steamy bathroom with condensation issues and history of mold). Mixed up an exact replica of a Farrow and Ball in a trade paint mix which hands down provided a far better application than the typical diy stores. Can’t thank him and the team for being so patient with me too! Love this company, customer service personifies!,”

“Called in today for some help and as usual problem solved and the right tool for the job provided. This is a great place to get not just the tools but the advice when you need it. Fabulous!”

“Absolutely fantastic! I went here Saturday morning with my Dad and the lady at the desk was so helpful and spoke us all through all the aspects and variables of almost everything! She answered our questions and some! Couldn’t recommend more!”

“From point of enquiry to receiving my new Fein AMM700, this company literally couldn’t have been more amazing. Simple to deal with, quick to respond, fair pricing and same day dispatch for next day delivery. With 100% use again”

“Fascinating shop with everything you would need for your house and garden. Friendly, helpful staff too.”

“A big thank you to Debbie, Jordan and the team at Howdens, Faraday Close. Debbie came to our home and planned our kitchen for us. She listened to what we would like to incorporate and came up with a wonderful layout. We kept visiting the showroom, as we were undecided on the cupboard fronts etc and each time we turned up, we were treated very well. We changed our minds a couple of times, new plans were produced, but was no trouble to Debbie. Once our kitchen was delivered, any problems we had were speedily resolved.”

“I don't know much about roofing but was trying to do a repair of a small strip of epdm plus a loose tile - the team on the counter were brilliant, providing all the materials I needed from my rubbish descriptions. Even rang their fascia supplier to see if they stocked the size I needed to save me the call/trip. Can't recommend highly enough :-) (If only all customer experiences were this positive)”

“Visited a few times over this weekend during a bathroom refit. Staff were brilliant and knowledgeable. The young lady there was brill and really knew her stuff. She knew exactly what I needed for the job.”
