A good hardware store helps you finish a job, so describe what you are doing and ask staff to suggest the right fixings, paint, tools or timber. Bring measurements and a photo or sample of the item you are replacing, as small differences in thread, size or fitting matter. Ask about services such as paint tinting, key cutting, and cutting timber or board to size, and about hiring tools you will only use once. In Wellington's hilly suburbs, jobs such as retaining walls, decking and fences often need careful materials and fixings, so ask about treated timber and wind-rated hardware. Regulars plan a shopping list, check stock before they drive and keep receipts for returns.
Churchill Drive is in the Crofton Downs area of Wellington's northern suburbs, so this store suits local homeowners and DIYers wanting hardware and advice close to home.
