It's not far from Homebase or the town centre, so they've certainly got competition, but somehow they have got their own niche market, and good on them! I called in while passing just looking for some hooks. It's a bit of an emporium inside, but just ask and they'll point you straight to what you're looking for. It wasn't expensive either, which is always a bonusin fact it was probably quite a lot cheaper than if I'd carried on as planned to Homebase! Small but welcoming, cluttered but lovely. Give them a try!

Lovely little local hardware store - loads cheaper than B&Q!…read more I was recently looking for a couple of metres of standard electrical cable to extend the length of a plug. First call was, as always B&Q where I expected it to be cheapest. But they only had pre-packed sections and it was going to cost £10.99 minimum. Perhaps not On the way home, I stopped off in this little shop just to see if they had anything similar. Yes. And 45p a metre so I got change from a pound coin, and they gave me a chocolate from their box of Quality Street as well. I didn't look at much else in the store - it's a bit of an Aladdin's cave, but my husband has been back a few times for bits and bobs and always been happy. I'd really recommend this place to everyone in the local area - it's one thing talking about supporting local businesses, but they're often far more expensive. But in this case, it was exactly the opposite, so as well as supporting your local shops you're doing yourself a favour too!

Located just off the M13, J3, and only a few hundred yards from the Yorkshire Outlet/Lakeside shopping park and associated restaurants, there's an enormous car park outside. On entering the store, there's a garden centre to the right with a large conservatory with gardening stuff, and access to the outside with all the plants. There's a large lighting section behind this, which must have hundreds if not thousands of different styles of light on display. Working through the store, there are large displays of tiles, paint, wallpaper, flooring, electricals, plumbing, storage, wood and building supplies. They've also got a really good showroom area with kitchens and bathrooms which are not the cheapest in the world or the very best quality but they're a lot better than other DIY stores. Main complaint with this is the lack of staff - there always seems to be a queue. They have a builders' yard at the opposite end, and a trade counter which seems to be quite popular. Checkouts are to the front and often have large queues but staff are pretty switched on and it doesn't normally take too long. There's usually a greasy burger van outside, so you can look forward to the smell of onions as you leave, after you've barged your way through the wall of fag smoke that's always waiting for you at the exit. But that's a minor flaw in an otherwise fab shopping experience.

Prices aren't the cheapest and if you've got the time and patience to go round other places then you'll often find things for a lot less, but if you just want to pay a fair price and cut out all the hassle then this is the place to go. They're really handy to get to, just off the motorway and also close to Lakeside so there are shops to drop the wife off at too, and a few fast-food places if you're hungry. Cafe, toilets, free parking - all good from me.
