Homebase, Wickes, and B&Q are three go-to chains for all your DIY needs, and with home improvements becoming increasingly popular as a potentially coronavirus-free summer is on the horizon, many will be making the most of the opportunity to spruce up your home and garden in relative peace. The early May bank holiday Monday is no exception, with a three-day weekend coming up fast.

DIY stores have been classed as essential retailers, meaning they have been allowed to stay open throughout the UK’s various coronavirus lockdowns

While some bank holidays see stores across the UK forced to reduce their hours, this is not the case when a bank holiday falls on a Monday.

If you still don’t feel comfortable just yet heading out into stores, all three retailers offer home delivery on goods.

As well as this, many click and collect options mean you can pick up your purchases on the same day you bought them.

Homebase

Homebases’ 150 UK stores are currently open to shoppers, and will also be open on the upcoming bank holiday Monday.

Homebase stores are usually open from 8am to 6pm on normal working days, but could vary on the bank holiday by individual store.

As ever, individual store times may vary, so check the website before you head out to get your goods.
