Dennings Home Garden & DIY Centre

I have popped in here a few times, when I have been in the area and always found what I have been looking for, which is usually something boring and home related — I think last time I bought a couple of plastic storage boxes (yawn!). The store is fairly large inside and stocks a variety of different items for home and garden as you would expect. I like the fact that the staff are helpful and friendly in here and I think that it makes such a difference compared to the, sometimes rather intimidating staff at the big chain DIY stores. They always ask me if I need any help or advice in here and they seem to genuinely want to help their customers. I have found that the prices are fairly cheap for a DIY store too, which is always a bonus. I would recommend this to anyone in the local area!

In the takeaway dominated section of the Bristol Road South, in Northfield, lies a rare commodity in the form of Dennings Home Garden and DIY, which sells (you guessed it!) supplies for homes, gardens, and DIY equipment. A deceptively large store once you get inside, the name may initially sound like it’s bitten off a bit more than it can chew, but it certainly makes a very good go at it. Numerous times I’ve been in looking to pick up one thing or another, and (unlike U2) have always found what I’m looking for. From plants to power tools and flooring to light fittings, you can assume that if you’re looking for something in terms of DIY, Dennings will probably have it. Better yet, the shop has a charming, local feel, a much more pleasant atmosphere than the soulless chains, and the staff are always knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended.
