Ive lived in Oadby 20+ years & have been served by various independent DIY shops here, during this time. They each have had their own character New owners took over a few years ago& reading the reviews, its like marmiteyou either love it or hate it! I love itmore than its previous incarnation. Very full of stock & like an Aladdins Cave! Depending on my mood & time pressures, I either just go right to a staff member to ask for what I need, or instead entertain myself with a browse first. They have so much useful stuff you didnt realise you need! I have always found the staff friendly, helpful & approachable but I also try & walk around with a smile on my face, too. ;-) Now that O&WBC have mandatory parking charges, the free parking this shop has is even more of an attractant. Admittedly, if I needed a paint mixing service, I would probably head right to Wigston for Wickes or B&Q to do itbut Im very grateful we have Oadby DIY here locally for most of our DIY & household needs.

I would not recommend Oadby DIY....I have been a customer for 25 years but recently have experienced incredibly poor customer service. I have travelled 3 miles twice in the last fortnight to purchase some Dulux mix paint there, only to be told on both occasions that the owner isn't there to mix it and to return another day ! In addition I was told today that the pipes would have to be cleaned before the paint could be mixed! It would seem that they aren't actually interested in providing a paint mix service at all and I found the attitude of the owner's son to be off hand and lazy. He didn't seem to want to put himself out to help me at all. Needless to say I won't be using Oadby DIY again.
