Diy projects tips advice in London

“they have absolutely everything I needed, i kept asking for little things that the bigger stores like B&Q didn't have and they'd go off and find them, amazing. Even more amazing are the prices, you'd expect little shops like this to be extortionate, but no, cheap as chips, the way it should be. I love this shop, it reminds me of grandfathers garage, a throwback to better times. Customer service is second to none, tell them what you need or the problem you have and I'm sure they'll be able to fix it or solve it.”

“I couldn’t recommend Decorates mate enough - Paul and the team have been so helpful to us. We bought our first property and had a bunch of unforeseen issues - the guys never failed to take the time to help us and provide advice (most of the time saving us money!!). Trustworthy, knowledgable and honest team - amazing selection of paints and tools. Thanks for all the continued support and hope you’re not fed up with us popping in for every home project my partner comes up with ha!”

“Knowledgeable, friendly and great customer service. Aneta was happy to spend time explaining what I’d need, provide help and advice with colour choices and colour match for me. Highly recommend”

“Absolutely thrilled with my recent experience at Queens Park Hardware & DIY ! From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. They guided me through my project needs, providing expert advice on tools and materials. The selection was impressive, with everything I needed and more. I especially appreciated their commitment to customer service; they went above and beyond to ensure I left with exactly what I required. The prices were competitive, and I felt confident in my purchases. I will definitely be returning for all my future hardware needs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality products and exceptional service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“I have been coming here for all my hardware needs over the years - from tools to car accessories and even general advice. The store is well stocked and nothing is too much trouble. These gentlemen are knowledgeable, obliging and give superb service. This is the place to reach out to with confidence.”

“Excellent shop. Knowledgeable owner and useful stuff.”

“Very helpful staff. They seem to know about most things. Have helped me several times when I didn't know what I needed.”

“Amazing personal service, and they have literally everything you need. Great range of flowers and plants, paint and general DIY things. Please support and buy local, lovely family run business that deserves our support.”

“I've given this five star rating as I have been into various of the Leyland branches and the service has been ok but this Hammersmith branch stands out.. I was really pleased with the service I got recently when I visited. There was a staff member of Paul really got me out of a pickle on two fronts, first one was with my kitchen plumbing. After showing him some photos of my problem he was there giving constructive suggestions to resolve my problem. Of which when I got back home the tips and the products he said to use worked a treat!! And lastly he help me with the process of installing shelving in my home, I was quite nervous to do it myself but gave it a go with his recommendations and good product knowledge made me feel confident to do it myself. He not only didn't rush through the his guidance but showed great enthusiasm in his what he was doing. I will definitely be coming back here again and I'll be telling people I know to come back here.. especially if they need plumbing advice! Youra sincerely George.”

“Fantastic people & store! I needed some bulb fibre and as it was Christmas they didn't have room for any, they had a half used bag however for themselves which was kindly given to me free of charge! How kind is that!”

“Love this place, like a tiny screwfix x BQ… they have everything I have ever needed over the years and lots of things I didn’t need but bought anyway. Prices are amazingly low too, I bought a plunger for half the price it was at Amazon and Screwfix.. Staff are always friendly, polite and helpful too.”

“Friendly, helpful service and great stock: had everything I needed. Pleasure to shop at Finch's”

“Small store for general hardware and tools, fair prices, pleasant helpful staff. Tucked away in a railway arch a reliable local store that's been here for decades.”

“Very helpful and friendly. Went back a few times for some niche hardware needs.”

“Very pleased with the service from Homecare DIY in replacing our tired and leaking shower with a smart new installation of wall panels and a new enclosure. Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable - took the time and care to make sure the job was done properly and in a timely way. Highly recommended, and would definitely use again.”

“Finishing off a job on a Saturday, and ran out of material. Went to B&Q and couldn't get what I needed. Called Leyland Chiswick, told them what I needed and rushed there as they were about to close up. Kelvin and Tapi still served me and found everything I needed by the time I got there. Outstanding customer service and ultimately saving me a delays the following week. Huge well done to the team.”

“Very helpful team, huge thank you to Simeon and Angel! Great support, guidance and customer service. Thank you again!”

“Spot on. Great range of products + friendly service. 10/10 better than B&Q. Support your local businesses!!”

“We visited the shop for kitchen tiles and the service we received from Soner Z, was excellent. I highly recommend this place. The only let down is the staff working conditions, the place is very cold even with the one big blow up heater it makes little difference.”

“Friendly staff always helpful and they have everything you need”

“Great store with great stock and great staff. Shout-out to Stephen, who kindly suggested I tweak my purchases so that I could get better value using a Mix and Match offer... thank you :)”

“Being an early bird eager to catch the worm....I walked into Leyland Fulham Road store today (a Monday) at 6.39am - 9 minutes after it had opened.Now I reckon everyone likes a moment to draw breath, to take stock when starting a day's work. A customer coming through the doors as soon as the shutters are up can for some reason be disarming, disheartening even, the reality of a new working week hitting you plum on the jaw line. So 10/10 for the amazing service and positive welcome I received from the two young men on duty - TYRONE and ROB....thank you guys you were brilliant.”

“Amazing Customer service and really helpful!!!”

“Fantastic customer service! The paint machine was down, but the lady serving me was incredibly helpful. She took my number and offered to mix the paint and call me as soon as it was ready. Going above and beyond like that is rare and so appreciated. Highly recommend this place!”

“Large store with two floors and a great range of items. Good staff numbers and although they can be a bit blunt they are generally helpful if they are not too busy.”

“The plastic handle on our dishwasher snapped and I was concerned that it couldn't be repaired. The owner of Addiscome DIY came to the rescue and suggested his "secret superglue", which fixed the problem completely. He also researched and provided a line for a discontinued Flymo stripper. I always find the owner polite, friendly and most helpful. His shop has everything! Stocktaking must be a nightmare...”

“Been in a few times now and every member of staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Great hiring and training.”

“I visited on a Sunday morning when other Building shops were closed. The shop stocks a wide range of building supplies and also delivered my order within an hour. Excellent customer service + honest people.”

“Instant polite and genuine key cutting service had it done within 10 seconds he's a professional”

“Really great advice and availability from the team about choosing paint colours.”
