Advantages: All under one roof

Disadvantages: Price, unhelpful staff

Having spent yet another weekend trying to do up my house (where has my social life gone?) I thought it woudl be good to review B&Q, as I currently spend half my life there. Speke and Edge Lane in Liverpool are the ones I go to. B&Q has pretty much everything you can think of in terms of DIY, from paint to whole kitchens. You can get some pretty cheap bathrooms and kitchens from there, but if you want them to fit it, then it's pretty expensive (to supply and fit my bathrrom - which is tiny - was a quote of about £6,000. I got it done for £2,500 somewhere else!)

They do have a fair few offers on but they do seem to be more expensive than other places, even for little things like dust sheets.

I am a bit of a DIY divvy but I do find it hard to find things in there and I have not found the staff particularly helpful. They are often hard to find and they all seem to have their own specialist area, which can be annoying if you just want to know where something is!

It is conveniant for a one-stop shop but there are better bargains elsewhere. Personally, I'm starting to loathe the place!

Summary: B&Q - my view
