Hartley & Son Hardware

Products & Prices

Tools & Hand Tools

Trade-grade tools that last, with staff who know which one you actually need.

Screwdrivers & Bits

Complete sets from £9.99, individual drivers from £1.50. Magnetic tips, cushioned handles, the kind that don't strip after five uses. We stock Phillips, slot, Pozidriv and Torx in every size that matters.

Hammers & Mallets

Claw hammers from £12.50, ball-pein, rubber mallets, and lump hammers for serious work. Drop-forged heads, ash or fibreglass handles. The kind of hammer your father used, still in stock.

Spanners, Wrenches & Pliers

Open-end, ring, adjustable and socket sets from £15. Locking pliers, cutting pliers, long-nose — metric and imperial, because older homes need both. Everything labelled, everything within arm's reach.

Drill Bits & Accessories

Twist bits, spade bits, hole saws and countersinks for cordless drills. Sets from £8, or buy individual sizes from 1mm to 13mm. Steel, HSS and titanium-coated for harder materials.

Fixings & Fasteners

Screws, nails, bolts and brackets sold loose — buy only what you need.

Screws & Nails

Sold loose by weight or count — from 2p a nail to 20p for larger screws. Wood screws, machine screws, masonry screws, panel pins, lost-head nails. Every gauge and length. No 500-pack minimum.

Bolts, Washers & Nuts

M6 to M16, hex head and coach bolts, with matching washers and nuts priced from 5p upwards. Spring washers, penny washers, lock washers — we have the exact size, not a guessed pack.

Hinges & Brackets

Butt hinges, strap hinges, piano hinges for cabinets and boxes. L-brackets, corner braces, shelf brackets from 60p. Brass, steel, stainless — picked to last as long as what they're holding.

Picture Hooks & Wall Fixings

Heavy-duty hooks, toggle bolts, cavity wall anchors and rawlplugs for plaster, brick and tile. We'll help you pick the right one for your wall — no more holes that don't hold.

Chains, Cable & Wire

Steel chain by the metre, rope, galvanised wire, cable and fencing wire. Sold loose, cut to what you need. No waste, no leftover coil in the shed for ten years.

What Makes the Difference

The big sheds have given up selling loose fixings — it's easier to shift 500-packs. We stock them because that's what builders, plumbers and homeowners actually want. Buy one screw. Buy ten. Buy a kilogram.

Paint Mixed While You Wait

Any colour matched and mixed on the spot — done in minutes at the counter.

Colour Matching

Bring a paint chip, a piece of fabric, a photograph of a room you love — we'll match it. Our spectrophotometer reads the exact colour and our mixer delivers the shade you wanted, not a guess off a shelf.

Brands & Finishes

Premium emulsion, eggshell, gloss and specialist finishes — matt, satin, silk. One litre from around £18 depending on brand and quality. Mix what you need; no waste, no overstocked tins.

Expert Advice

Not sure which finish for that bedroom? Whether you need undercoat on that door? Our staff have painted hundreds of jobs — ask them. A conversation that takes five minutes saves a weekend of rework.

Why This Matters

Guessing a colour off a swatch and finding it wrong halfway through the job is expensive heartbreak. An exact match, mixed in front of you, is a hedge against that. And you only buy what you actually need.

Garden Supplies

Everything for a patch of garden, without the trip to a garden centre.

Compost & Soil

Multi-purpose compost from £6.50 a bag, John Innes seed and potting compost, ericaceous mix for acid-loving plants, and speciality blends. Peat-free options in stock.

Seeds & Bulbs

Vegetable and flower seeds in season, from heritage varieties to reliable modern hybrids. Bulbs in spring and autumn — tulips, daffodils, crocuses, snowdrops. Staff can advise on what grows in your soil.

Garden Hand Tools

Spades, forks, hoes, rakes and trowels in proper steel, from £8 upwards. Not the flimsy stuff that bends in stony soil. Ash or fibreglass handles that won't snap in the shed.

Pots, Planters & Supports

Terracotta pots, plastic containers, hanging baskets and trellis. Bamboo canes, plant supports and ties. Everything a garden bed or balcony needs at local prices.

Twine, Rope & Netting

Garden twine, jute rope, wire netting and plastic mesh for climbing plants or crop protection. Sold by the metre or coil — buy what the job needs, nothing more.

Why Shop Local

No garden centre trip, no car park hunt, no unwanted extras. Pop in when you need a bag of compost or a packet of seeds. Staff who know local soil and what grows well here.

The Small Awkward Things

The odd, specific, hard-to-find items that make the difference.

Odd Washers & Spacers

Imperial washers for older machinery or antique furniture. Metric sizes that are only made in Japan. Nylon, rubber, brass — the exact size you need, not a standard pack.

Discontinued Hinges & Catches

Vintage catches for old kitchen cabinets, pre-war butt hinges, sash-window hardware. We keep stock or we'll track one down. Nobody else bothers.

Replacement Parts for Older Appliances

Door handles for 1950s ovens, knobs for vintage washing machines, feet and feet-clips for tables that are worth keeping. When the big shed says "we don't stock that any more", we can often find it.

Non-Standard Fixings

Left-hand threads, obscure metric sizes, brass screws in gauges most shops don't carry. Tell us what you need and we'll source it. Not everything comes from the standard catalogue.

Furniture Hardware

Knobs and pulls for dresser drawers, glass dome feet, mirror plates, and period-correct handles. Restoring a piece? We've helped dozens of customers find what they needed.

Why We Still Do This

Forty years on the high street means we've kept the connections and the patience to track down the things that matter — the obscure washer that fixes the hinge on your grandmother's bureau, the exact foot for the chair that's been in the family since 1972. That's what a proper hardware shop does.
