By far the best hardware store in the area. Puts all the chain stores like Homebase and B&Q to…read moreshame with their amazing standard of service. It doesn't matter what sort of DIY your trying to do there is always someone there who has the necessary knowledge to help you. It's only a small store but they make the most of the space and it's packed full of stuff, which although not as cheap as the superstores is worth it for the back up you get. The most handy thing they have is off to the side of the store. If you want wood cut to size they have a wall mounted cutter and will happily cut boards and planks to your exact requirements. I've not been here in some time but they certainly know their stuff and it's worth using them over anyone else in the area.

The kind experienced salespeople repaired the handles and lid of a couple of saucepans I've had and…read moretreasured for decades. This meant taking 2 pieces home and working on them before bringing them back to the shop, mended. This is going beyond expectations, done with a smile and little to no reward for them. I have also found many odd items there that aren't available in supermarkets and other hardware stores. Highly recommended.

Located in the heart of Lightwater village. This is a diy/general store…read moreThere aren't many diy shops close to the Lightwater area and this shop does have quite a range of diy items. Building, plumbing, carpentry and electrical items are all stocked Screws and bolts etc can be purchased singularly as opposed to by the pack, which you will not find in any other diy shop or builders merchants. It also caters for animal food, but this does come at a slightly higher price, but this is compensated by a friendly, knowledgeable service. Free off road parking to the front of the store

This is a smallish store (by US standards) but has a very wide variety of household products. I…read moreagree with a previous reviewer who describes it as an old fashioned hardware store. I ended up finding the cable ties that I needed, after searching many other stores. The staff was helpful and directed me to the product I needed. I will keep it in mind as I did not know about it before.

A small but well stocked hardware / building supply store in the middle of Oxford. Robert Dyas is…read morea bit hard to locate as its on a back street of Oxford and around the corner. This is the kind of store I have in my hometown in the US. Just like here, even though they're small they've probably got what you need. I bought gardening tools their. They didn't have tools for a large garden but small ones perfect for the back yard.

There are 2 of these shops pretty much facing each other either side of the street. One sells…read moreeverything garden and DIY related. The other selling a fantastic range of cook and houseware. Both are definately worth a look as they are like little aladdins caves, full of treasures and certain to have what you are looking for! Staff are really knowledgable and are happy to answer any questions you may have or point you in the right direction if you are stuck. Prices are reasonable, no more expensive than anywhere else in the town and generally I've always found there is a really nice atmosphere to both shops.

A hardware store to satisfy any cook or handyman…read more This place seems to have just about everything you can think of, in fact, I can't think of anything else it could have. Even that slightly sawdust scent that goes with hardware stores. Now, this store does not carry the reputation of two that I have reviewed before. But if I lived in Wimborne, I'd be a happy camper. Collandars, graters, knives, tupperware, caddies, drainers, cookwareand then hammers, nails, screws, and thingummies. They also do garden furniture, indeed, there was a very rustic looking one on display outside. I really could have spent ages snooping around, but hey ho, time is the master of our lives. No fifth star because there seems nowher to park, so how are you going to lug your goods to the car?
