A couple of weeks ago, I needed to buy a new interior 6-panel door. Not having access to a van, and not wanting to pay £10 per hour to hire one of B&Q's vans, I opted to buy online and have it delivered for £9.95.
The site content is very extensive, but it isn't laid out particularly well ... Read review
Advantages: Convenient , Vast array of products. Disadvantages: Questionable Aftercare service , poor packaging on breakables
I visited www.diy.co.uk on 20 feb for the first time and was amazed at the huge range of products that were on offer.
Like anyone else i had visited the diy warehouse and knew they sold sheds and light fittings etc etc but was suprised at the massive range of other products on the companies easy to use website.

I had never hung a sheet of waalpaer until i visited this site. As a result of following their advice i have a newly-decorated bathroom, and not a bad job too. They had loads of no nonsense advice and tips as well as what tools you need to get the job done. I might ...
