Focus Do It All (Shop)

Having moved into our first house a year ago we were struck with the inclination to do something to it. A house that looked good on the surface gradually transformed into some sort of monster that needed a lot of work to make it to our tastes. Coupled with the fact that the previous owner could have been a contestant on DIY SOS we decided that our home form home would be the local DIY shop. Living where we do we have quite good access to all the major chains. IKEA is 25 minutes away depending on traffic, Homebase is just up the motorway and B&Q is in the town. Nearest to us however is Focus ... more

Let us imagine a wet and miserable afternoon. A visit to the Garden Centre was not a viable option nor was gardening in our little patch, come to that. A case of miserable lethargy set in. It looked as though HE would have to do THAT job which had awaited doing for some time. HE couldn’t find the nails we had bought. Did I want to go and get some more with him? Wow! Hold me back guys.

Now is probably time to purchase a shed , garden ... more

A sort trip to our local Focus Do It All was in order, and their staff were very helpful in recommending a type of hutch, food for the babies, even having to seperate the parents and generally more information than we ever expected from their staff. They have a wide range of foods on offer for the ... more

I had recently bought a new kitchen and required some tiles. After shopping around the local tile merchants I found the tile I wanted. I then visited my local Focus DIY store where to my surprise I found the same tiles for a fraction of the price. The only thing was they were out of stock. I enquired about when they would be receiving some more tiles, the staff checked the computer and told me that they should be receiving some that Friday, although they did point out that even if the computer has allocated their stock they may not get it, I came back on Friday to find that no stock has been ... more
