This DIY Hardware shop has everything I’ve ever needed with regards to doing stuff around the house.
Whether it’s cleaning or repairs.
The staff are all knowledgeable about the stuff they sell and are happy to answer any questions you have and give advice.
I bought a shower hose today for my electric shower and it’s perfect.
I’d actually gone in before today to buy one, but they said was better to bring old one or measure before just buying as length due to gravity feed etc.
They were right and it’s perfect.
Highly recommend this place if you need advice on something you may need around house for diy or repairs .

I ordered 2x car ramps from the website, no big deal really, anyway when they turned up the couriers had damaged one. I then contacted Jon at Thompsons and after a couple of pictures explaining my plight a replacement ramp was dispatched.
You might think this is a pretty boring review but i think the way the Thompsons team took on an issue which actually wasn't their problem is mighty impressive.
Good quality products at cheapest on the internet prices backed by an excellent business team, i don't think you can go wrong.

Outrageous Shipping Cost

Ordered an in-cab height indicator, clicked the 'buy now' without checking thoroughly. I am sorry, but for a small item costing £9.16, and be charged £8.95 shipping within the UK is frankly shocking. A lot of other suppliers offer free delivery. Will not be using again.

In my desperation to replace a faulty audio piece of equipment l came across this company.
My initial telephone call was handled professionally and expeditiously. The lady at the end of the line, “Emma” was extremely knowledgeable and if she didn’t have the answer she would find out and promptly called me back. I am now in possession of my brand new Amp and sooner than l expected. A very well done 👍🏽 guys!!

Great Service from Thompson’s

Had a bad experience with Amazon selling me a dud air con regassing hose which was an Amazon product, nothing to do with Thompson’s. I’d also bought a can of leak stopper from Thompson’s which didn’t make it into my air con due to the faulty Amazon product. Amazon basically didn’t give a stuff, but Dan and John at Thompson’s were great and sorted the problem which wasn’t actually their problem to solve, big thanks to them I now have functioning air con. Moral of the story is if you want great service, go to Thompson’s in Macclesfield and give Amazon a miss.

Very positive returns process

Things don’t always go to plan. On this occasion, the “Ring” electric tyre pump I ordered from Thompsons last June did not work. I didn’t try the unit until October.

From start to finish the exchange process with Thompsons was totally stress-free. I explained the problem- a replacement was sent-including a pre-paid returns label for the faulty item. All completed in less than a week, no hassle.
From the first welcoming phone call to returning the faulty item it was a genuinely refreshingly easy process. The customer support agent Jon who managed my problem did just that, he managed it professionally and efficiently. I felt like a valued customer, - it’s not very often that you feel that way !!!
I spent my working life in procurement, and for me, it was a test of a good supplier on how they managed problems.
In my opinion Thompsons, and their staff delivered top service from the original purchase to the exchange of faulty goods. . I will happily order from them again and recommend them.
