“Very good service, good value for money and prompt delivery.”
“I absolutely love this place. I'd give 10 stars if I could. It's for sure the best hardware shop in the UK. The staff are always ready to help to find the right stuff. They also advise on how to do certain things if you just ask them and they are happy to help. They have everything you could need from a hardware store and much more. The staff always make conversation as soon as you enter. Its great!”
“They have everything in the world in this shop! And they are very helpful”
“We are extremely lucky as a town, to have such a fantastic hardware store. The wealth of knowledge and friendly service offered by the staff are great. Helping to keep waste down by offering reasonable quantities on screws. Also offers made to measure mats and a host of hardware tools.”
“I couldn't speak highly enough of Jeni. I had ideas for paint colours in a newly renovated open-plan kitchen and living area, but it was Jeni that patiently & skilfully guided me in the ultimate choices. Decoration is still in progress, and the colours are absolutely gorgeous. Heartily recommended.”
“The thing about this shop, is the service and the fact that in this store is you can buy what you want/need in most cases. Well worth a visit. Not enough shops like this about now. If you need/want anything, check out this place FIRST.”
“Very friendly and helpful staff that gave a 5 star service”
“One of the most friendly and helpful staff, I have ever encountered when returning "surplus to requirement" equipment in comparison with other stores. I did not have the receipt, but the manager sorted out the transaction within minutes with a full refund. Quality professional tools at competitive prices. Brilliant, honest service. Thank you.”
“Always lovely, helpful, cheerful staff”
“I believe they've thought of everything here. A fabulous Aladin's Cave of everything you didn't realise you needed, there really is everything from hardware, to gardening to pets, to knitting, to crafts, cards, and snacks. Add in the wonderful service and encyclopedic knowledge of the staff and you have the perfect shop for pros, amateurs and emergencies, as well as a lovely place to see what takes your fancy. Altogether a brilliant store that I will definitely go back to.”
“Such a great little shop that stocks so much. Really friendly, helpful staff who are always cheerful. Have visited this shop on numerous occasions, prices are always competitive. Highly recommend this shop because you wont be let down. Well done.”
“Great staff, entered the shop for the first time staff were helpful and friendly and located all the items I needed.”
“Brilliant shop. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good atmosphere. I don't know if they still do it, but you used to be able to buy a bag of floating bird feed to take down to the river nearby, sold in a paper bag for a £1. I highly recommend Homecrafts in Caversham. ***EDIT*** It's still a brilliant shop. Floating bird food is now £2.50 in a paper bag to go feed the river or pond birds. You can buy a sack for £8. There's a good selection of bird food towards the back of the store or in plastic buckets inside the store, towards the front. There was a cheerful, helpful chap serving today (Thursday) in the shop. I had a little wander about while I was in there. It's such a great shop. There are so many useful products.”
“Great place, lots of choice, helpful staff.”
“Always great service here and helpful staff. Prices are competitive. The staff all appear to have an interest in woodwork (unlike most large chains that just have people there that know very little about what they've selling) and are happy to share their own experience/opinions on what would be best for each individual”
“Have used Dads Shop many many times. Always helpful, if they haven't got something, they get it in usually by the next day, however, this place is like the Tardis!!! Caters for virtually everything that you need, and if they haven't got it in stock, as I say, they can get it for you. Staff are always knowledgeable, helpful and friendly”
“Brilliant little hardware store that has almost everything you might want. Staff are very helpful and go out of their way to find what you need. You can even buy loose washing up liquids, vinegar etc, just bring your own container.”
“Good value hire, easy to do and delivery for a cost is a bonus. We had to store the machine for a couple of extra days as pick up wasn't completed when advised, which would have been an issue if we were waiting in for it to be collected (thankfully we didn't!) delivery driver and staff on the phone were all friendly and would hire from here again”
“Got looked after very well by Pete. My first visit so I wasn’t too sure about product codes and click and collect procedures. Pete was patient and polite and looked up what I asked for and dealt with me very efficiently. I will be back to buy more things when the need or opportunity arises, Cheers, Paul”
“Easy to order online and then pick up from store, next day. The store staff were really helpful in advising me about the product (LED light tubes) and the price was very competitive. Great service.”
“ignore halfords, homebase, all the big internet chains, these guys know what they're talking about. I came in to get a specific drill bit to drill out an M8 stud, they were friendly enough to talk about why i was in, then actually recommended one even more appropriately sized and knew exactly why it was that size and what it was for. In the modern world of internet sites, and big chain stores, this kind of expertise, customer service, and stock on the shelf is actually very rare. They got me out of a fix. Apart from that it's an aladdins cave, and anyone who fixes their own car, could easily spend thousands in there.”
“Amazing customer service. Our car had broken down after purchasing some items. One lovely gentlemen who works for toolstaton offered to lend us some junk leads but unfortunately no one could jump us. We got hold of the AA. He wait. He then came out and offered us a coffee whilst we waited. He deserves some serious recognition. He went above and beyond.”
“Wonderful service as always all the staff are pleasant to deal with and prices are very reasonable indeed”
