Why come here
Somebody who knows
Ask, and you get an answer rather than a shrug at a screen.
Held for you
Ring or message and we will keep it behind the counter until closing.
Ordered in
If it is not on the shelf, we will tell you honestly whether we can get it and when.
Open when we say
The hours below are the hours, and holiday changes are posted here first.
What we sell
Everyday things
What people come in for most, kept in stock rather than ordered each time.
Our own choices
The things we would buy ourselves, and can tell you about properly.
Gifts
Wrapped while you wait, with a card if you have forgotten one.
Special orders
Anything we can get, usually within a few days, with a message when it lands.
Spares and consumables
The small parts that keep a thing going instead of replacing it.
Warranty and repairs
If something fails, bring it back with the receipt and we deal with the supplier rather than sending you to them.
Advice
Which one you actually need, including when it is the cheaper one.
Reserve and collect
Ring, and it will be behind the counter with your name on it.
Delivery
Locally, by arrangement, for anything too big to carry.
For businesses
An invoice, a regular order and an account, if that is how you need to buy.

The shopA shop, run by the people in it
We choose what goes on the shelves ourselves, which means we can tell you why it is there and what the difference is between the cheap one and the other one.
If we do not have what you need, we will say where to get it. Sending somebody down the road is how a shop earns the visit after that.
Ordering something in
If we do not have it on the shelf, ask.
- Step 01
Ask at the counter
Or ring and tell us what you are looking for — a photograph or a model number is ideal.
- Step 02
We check
And give you a price and a date before anything is ordered.
- Step 03
We call you
The day it arrives.
- Step 04
Collect it
Set aside behind the counter with your name on it.
Good to know

Ring or send a message and we will look while you wait. It takes a minute.
02Can you put something aside?
Yes, until closing that day, or longer if you ask.
03Can you order something in?
Usually. We will tell you what it costs and when it would arrive before you commit.
04Do you take cards?
Yes, whatever the amount.
05Can I return or exchange something?
Bring it back with the receipt and we will sort it out. We would rather you came back.

Keep the receipt and any warranty card. Bring it in and we will take it up with the supplier ourselves.
