Good Afternoon I visited the B&Q store on Skippers Lane…read moreIndustrial Estate yesterday and purchased a Petrol Lawnmower. I was asked if I needed help getting the Lawnmower into my car, a gentleman assistant arrived to help.He proceeded to pull my large trolley to my car. What I hadn't realised was my boot was full of bricks spades and all sorts of stuff? I panicked thinking there is no way this Lawnmower is going to fit in my boot? The man emptied my boot totally, then put the Lawnmower in then reloaded the bricks spades and everything else that had been taken out and made sure my back door closed perfectly!! What a star! What a lovely helpful patient man. Excellent service over and above the call of duty!! He needs to be mentioned in dispatches!! I think he was called Neil Parker ?

I know we should all be supporting small businesses espeically during the credit crunch but I am…read morenot impressed with the service I have received when I use this place. I have taken in pipes and valves which have needed to be replaced and been sold the incorrect items so the staff knowledge of DIY has never been helpful to me. The staff also forgot to tell me that if I take advantage of returning items for a refund you have to pay a 10% restocking fee. The place is also at least 20% more expensive than B&Q. Evnthough I live a 5 mins walk from this place I would rather drive to B&Q as the staff have always been a lot more helpful to me in B&Q and they don't charge me a fee for trying to return something.

Absolute treasure trove. I have found loads of items here a lot cheaper than Q+B and the staff know…read moretheir stuff, they have even ordered goods in for me before. If you live local, save your petrol, save your time and shop here. Stuart

Michael has just finished completely refitting our bathroom and we could not be happier with the…read moreservice he provided and the final result. He took less than three days from start to finish and that includes an extra unplanned half day to raise the cistern in our loft as the original position did not provide sufficient pressure to trigger the shower pump. At the end of each day any mess was completely cleared away leaving the lace spotless. I would not hesitate to use Michael again.

This is one of my local DIY places and for a normal size store it has a decent range of products…read more It includes a gardening section where youcan get some bargains as they are very bad at looking after plants, so if you have green fingers and can revive them they are very cheap. Prices on other products can be a little more expensive than their competitors but the staff are helpful and seem to know what they are talking about.

Darlington's branch of Homebase is located on the retail park at the top of Yarm Road and therefore…read moreis easily accessed from the bypass as well as through the town. There is also plenty of parking outside. Although not the biggest store it has a good range for home decorating including paints and wallpaper, kitchens, bathrooms, garden furniture, plantsm and other diy related items. I have always found staff helpful but in comparison to the rival B&Q, they seem a bit sparse of the shop floor if you are looking for advice. Homebase regularly have 10% days or the like so if I were buying something big I would hang on till the next one or try and negotiate a discount.

Called this firm to diagnose and repair a fault on an old Samsung refrigerator. A couple of chaps…read moreturned up, one an apprentice. I was inspired and impressed by how the mentor called Adam, went through the diagnostics with care and precision to his colleague Jamie. Adam was extremely professional in his work and concluded the diagnosis after a thorough examination of the appliance. Unfortunately, given its age, they no longer carried the specific faulty part. The team were lovely to meet and were respectful of my home. The follow up visit was made by John, who also demonstrated how time served his experience was. He too showed the same respect, clearly demonstrating the great culture of this firm. Its refreshing to see older people working with younger ones and demonstrating traditional values and placing the customer first. I highly recommend them. Chris
