Have you got a drip that needs fixing? Maybe a picture that needs hanging? Perhaps you just like…read morethe sound and feel of power tools and the sense of do-it-yourself manliness that they provide. Whatever your reason, A. Gatto and Sons is your best option if you're shopping for tools, tips and other construction materials in Earlsfield. And aside from their mean collection of tools that go "BZZZ" in the night also keep the tamer items you might need around the house, like screws, glues, hammers and safety gear. Service is friendly throughout and you're welcome to ask one of the chaps behind the counter for advice on what you're trying to fix or build.

Yes, yes I'm writing a review for a building supplies store... I do lend my hand to the odd bit of…read moreDIY every, erm, 5 years or so. Yes, I felt like a bit of an outsider walking in, dodging the palettes of timber and pipe and bags of cement. For one thing, I didn't know what half the stuff Wickes sells is - bathroom fittings, kitchen wotsits, flooring... But anyway, it was easy to see where all that stuff was, so the signage is good. But five stars go to the man who told me very helpfully about how to go about stripping and wallpapering a room. 3 hours later, with 3 walls out of 4 done completely in record time, it was clear his advice was good. He even told me not to buy some things I wouldn't use, which is very generous since presumably, Wickes wants to sell them to me regardless. They have a new range of paint out - very nice it is too, and cheaper than Dulux - which for me actually meant I could get a load of their old paint on 70% off. Bonus! Parking's easy even on a Saturday afternoon, but they lose a star because of the debacle at the tills. The tills broke - fair enough, annoying but not their fault - but the crazy woman who apparently worked there stomping around screaming about it didn't make me feel any better about being in a building supplies store on a Saturday afternoon. Although it does have the bonus that I eventually looked forward to stripping wallpaper after 15 minutes in a queue to pay....

Robert Dyas has loads of stuff. Stuff is the only way i can describe the range of things they sell…read more From cups and kitchen accessories to sand paper and staple guns to light bulbs and ironmongery. They have everything! It's the first place i go when i need a 'thing' and i'm not sure where to find it because they usually have it and if they don't they tend to know somewhere that does sell that 'thing' i'm after. There are always plenty of staff knocking about re-stocking so if you have any questions you'll easily find someone to ask. The prices are very reasonable and it's just a very handy store.

As so ably articulated in Amy M's review, Robert Dyas is a great shop to look for 'things'. They…read morehave some stuff for DIY to gardening tools to electrical connections to kitchen countertop gadgets. I have an addiction to kitchen gadgets and their big bold sales signs for kitchen gadgets usually draw me in. However, I've developed a good rule in not buying something immediately but coming back after an hour and usually the Chinese thrift gene has kicked in to save me buying something I don't really need. However, do look in here for simple gadgets, which may well cost less than elsewhere.
