Toolstation

Good service, price and minimum order value

Great when you run out of something. Just pop onto the website or call their freefone and the order arrives next day. Excellent value on most lines although choice is not as great as Screwfix.

£10 minimum order means you don't have to wait to stack up several things to make a minimum order.

On the very rare occasion things go wrong, customer services are helpful and have sorted out any issues quickly.

A bit bigger range and they'd get 5 stars no trouble.

Screwfix

Decent website but rather pricey

Used to use screwfix a lot but gradually minimum order values and prices went up. Only look for specials or clearance now.

Toolstation have a smaller range of lines but minimum order is only £10 and you get it next day.

Talktalk

Cheap but wobbly website

Leads on price but I keep having trouble accessing the my-account section. Frequent messages about technical issues can go on for days in the end you tend to give up.

Prompt helpful service - top quality goods on time.

Liam responded quickly to request for a quote, sorted out a couple of details and got the order despatched straight away. Goods arrived following day.

Absolutely excellent personal service, a good price and top quality goods.

Beats Screwfix or Toolstation hands down.
