Winchester has a pretty standard Homebase just over a mile out from the centre of town. Theres a good range of DIY items, and the floor layout is such that its easy to find what youre looking for.

If your a real DIY person like i am and like to do stuff yourself then this place is perfect for you as you can go in to the shop and act like you know what you are talking about as the staff really dont and arnt really going to prove you wrong. Mst of the staff are part time college students and dont really care about the job apart from the money, but you can still get anything you need to do up the house

Great place to go when there is a weekend of D.I.Y ahead. Huge range of products available, and a great colour match paint scheme, where you see a colour you like and bring it in for a member of staff to match it. Can get very busy on weekends but the staff have always been friendly enough when I've been there

Great place to go for household needs. Recently, me and my dad went there to buy some curtain rails. It's absolutely huge so has a very wide range of produce. The wallpaper here is very stylish. The only area I think they're lacking is curtains.

This shop stocks an enormous range of outdoor and indoor gear, from plants to kitchens. I've bought many a lovely lampshade in the amazing sales! This is the place to come for reasonably priced goods of any sort and useful, professional advice from the friendly staff.

From the extensive parking to the helpful and knowledgable staff and the great range of products, this branch really excels intself at providing all you could ever need in terms of home and garden-ware. The sales offer great discounts, I would really recommend checking out the wallpapers - pretty designs, low price.

Homebase is great if you want DIY tools and garden and home products and equipment and they do sell it at a pretty reasonable price. However it isn't set in the centre of Winchester and I only go if I really need something important.

Homebase offers a huge range of house and home appliances, gardenwear, furniture, bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. The staff are very friendly and focus on having fun with customers and improving their experience while shopping. There is a 2 min serving policy for both the paint mixing and the wood cutting, by which if you have not been seen within those 2 mins you receive a 10% discount on your purchase. A carry out service to your car is also offered on all heavy items, so you don't need to worry about how much you can manage yourself. Homebase is easy to get to by car, and has plenty of free parking, however is a nightmare to walk to from the town centre. The public bus in this direction is infrequent and often late, so do not rely on it.

We often shop here. A great range of almost everything you need for DIY and small building work. The upper level houses independent businesses such as furniture suppliers and Moben kitchens. Garden plants behind, through the mowers, strimmers and tools etc. We bought a birdtable on a stand recently which was very simple to assemble and reasonably priced.

As Homebase's go, the Winchester branch rates pretty high. The store has a nice layout, so whatever you are looking for is easy to find. And even if you can't, the staff are really friendly and will always point you in the right direction. It's quite far from the town but if you are going specifically to that shop, or have a lot of well-priced DIY stuff to buy, this is a really good place to go to!

This large homebase store has huge amounts of stock, and it is unlikely that you go there not being able to find what you want! The staff tend to be young and helpful.

Sometimes over priced but great place to get any DIY item, whether its for the garden or house youre bound to find it along with a very wide range of paint. I like that fact that a couple of years ago they added the home section which interior designers selling kitchens and bathrooms as well. The staff mainly seem friendly and happy to help, after all its sometimes a nightmare trying to find what you want in the very large store.

When I was served the staff were rude and seemed more worried about when they were finishing rather than helping me. I would go elsewhere next time.

A very handy shop to have locally. An absolutely huge range of products. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Only point that I could pick up on is that it does get a bit crowded in there at times which can be hard when orientating your way around the store.

A large store with just about everything you need to do up a house, garden, heavy duty building materials. Its got a great garden section with waterfeatures, plants, plant products and very helpful staff. They will lift anything heavy for you to the till and then to your car. Not too expensive either and if you have a homebase card you get regular offers.
