Really cute little ramshackle shop on Bury New Road. Prestwich Hardware is so helpful for DIY…read moreprojects, odd jobs around the house and bits and bobs that might be so tiny and inexpensive but make the difference between harmonious home and falling apart. The service from the chap (definitely the right word) is so helpful especially if you do the whole damsel in distress thing - its NOT an act I really do have no clue. But I'm an independent woman and at the moment its just me and my mum in our house. No men to do all these kind of jobs. So we have our own little tool box now - yes some of them have flowers on and were a present. But still. They can help you with the parts themselves, tools, how to do it, common pitfalls, what to do afterwards. Lifesavers but they don't have the range that say BnQ have as its a pretty small shop.

Everything you could possible think up or imagine in the way of bolts, screws, doodahs and whatsits, these guys will have it, know about it and know where to source it. They are also bonafide doors specialists. Nope not the band, actual doors that you walk through, keep the kids out of the room with all the expensive ornaments and stuff in, stop people hearing you pee when in the bathroom, those types of doors. Fresh ones, new ones, refurbished ones.

Then, Dave the owner (these guys are always called Dave. Even the Polish guy in my local tool shop is called Dave) will go directly to a shelf, as if he possesses some kind of DIY satellite navigation system and produce what you are looking for. This is just so alien in a world where customer service is almost non-existent and most other shop assistants do not even attempt to apologise when the object of your desire is sold out and you won't even be able to get it online. "You can always try Ebay though." Frustrating!! Homecrafts is not just any run of the mill hardware store though. Yes it has the obligatory nails and paintbrushes, chisels and hammers,( and the bloke who works there may even be called Dave) but what I want to draw my Yelpers attention to is the excellent framing service that it operates. Recently I had a professional photo-shoot of the little ones and the picture that I had enlarged was an enormous and irregular size. I looked long and hard for a suitable frame but I had to admit defeat and commence my quest for a bespoke framing service. These are few and far between in Manchester so I checked out the net and they were perfect but expensive. A chance encounter when I needed some picture hooks led me into Homecrafts of Davyhulme and I was astonished to see that it sold a range of frames that can be custom made for you. There was a good choice of frames and mounts and my frame was ready and waiting for me to collect within 5 days. The best part was the price; the total cost was £55 and the only other quote which had come even close to this was £135. Total bargain and quick friendly service. I wouldn't even consider going anywhere else now.

GT Blagg has been around since 1871. It supplies the usual hardware staples, tools, nails, a range of items I'll refer loosely as 'things to mend stuff with' and various cleaning products. And then there are wellies, brooms, flower and vegetable seeds and bedding plants. There's an electrical section too with plugs and extension leads and also toasters and kettles. They also sell calor gas, smoke free coal and kindling. True to form I came away with a new mop and mop bucket.
