Hardware store in Grays

“Very very nice local shop! Patient and professional, got my problem solved in an hour. And price quite fair. Highly recommend.”

“From our very first enquiry to the final fitting, our experience with Howdens Lakeside has been outstanding. Lynette, Lou and the whole Lakeside team have been absolutely phenomenal throughout the entire journey. Right from the initial discussions, Lynette and Lou were incredibly attentive, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping us create the perfect kitchen. Their knowledge, patience, and willingness to accommodate every request made the whole process feel smooth and amazing. What truly stood out was how far they went above and beyond, often stepping in to assist with things outside of their remit and always making themselves available to ensure everything stayed on track. Their commitment and care have been truly appreciated. The end result is a beautiful, high-quality kitchen, and we couldn’t be happier. We wholeheartedly recommend Howdens Lakeside for anyone looking for an exceptional kitchen.”

“Great service called this morning ordered building materials and 2 hours later there on my front drive. Driver that dropped off the gear great job at getting them where I wanted.”

“Have used a few times now, we’re just round the corner so they’re able to do same day delivery for us sometimes which is a lifesaver. Very friendly customer service, shout out to Jazz who was a great help.”

“Great Customer service from Lauren. Location is easy to access. Good Covid-19 sanitising setup at the entrance for customers & guest. Lauren was very knowledgeable on the items I needed and promptly located them and offered options. Talked me through the paperless system via online account setup to ease repeat orders and track purchases. I signed up without hesitation. Courteous, Good humour and Great attention to customer needs. Will highly recommend.”

“Very useful business. Needed specific bolts and they had them in stock. A+++”

“Very quick service and friendly staff. Always got what I need in stock.”

“This is definitely the place to shop for families especially if you like to entertain and great for businesses too. There is a large variety of food, beverages, confectionery, alcohol and some electrical goods as well. The majority of the goods sold here are sold in large quantities or bulk. Costco has a very busy small/medium cafe with a limited menu. There is a very large car park, which is free to park, and just at the end of the car park is a handy petrol pump. Everything that I have seen is wheelchair friendly.”

“Visited the store in Lakeside on 18th January 2025. Staff are really helpful and polite which is not the first time. Always get excellent service from all the team. Thank you once again. Sharon x”

“I do love wilko I always end up spending more than I intend to. They have such a wide range of items in here as it's quite a big one. Everything is neat and its easy to find items. The staff are helpful when you need something however, there never seems to be enough staff as I'm always looking around for one whenever I'm in there. The shop is super bright so it looks more spacious. I always find things I need in there.”

“Excellent customer service as normal”

“Took my Xbox series S and Switch Lite to trade in and was served by Alice. Super helpful and friendly from start to finish and assisted me with data transfer from my old switch to the new one I bought which I really appreciated. Made the whole process super easy. Thanks for your help!”
