Store Layout & Accessibility

Pros:

  • "Plenty of free parking."
  • "Your typical B&Q except larger."
  • "It's pretty big and seems pretty well stocked."
  • "A huge amount of stock. A lovely large gardening/plant area and selection."
  • "This store is a large one and I've always found what I needed."
  • "One of the few bigger stores that actually holds a reasonable level of stock."

Cons:

  • "It's annoying that all the escalators (up and down) now push you to the back of the shop."
  • "Cavernous DIY store, with annoying travelators to travel between floors."
  • "Changing levels might take a while due to long escalators that are always at opposite end of the store to where you need them."
  • "It can take a while to track down certain items if that's your aim, as signage is quite broad."
  • "Then checked in numerous areas - no stock. Looked for delivery on their website only to be told it is not available."
  • "Strange set out for a B&Q with parking up and down and a long winded process to get between floors with a trolley."
  • "the store is laid out in a terrible way, spend twice the time doing laps of the place trying to find what i wanted."

Cons:

  • "one till open 4 trade point staff sat round unable to serve as apparently click and collect from b&q take priority."

  • "Tills can be busy at times with staff being too busy to help on the shop floor."
  • "Long queue at checkout with only 1 person serving again no other staff to be seen."
  • "with the introduction of self service tills... the process is a lot more convoluted at the tills."
  • "A staff member decided we hadn't scanned everything so turned the screen around and proceeded to fiddle around."
  • "The problems came with check out. Only self service open and a bit cramped trying to scan your items."
