Newbury Tools - Spring means one thing: tool time!
14th February 2008
SPRING is when a young man’s fancy turns Newbury Tools for the right equipment to tackle all those chores in the garden that demand attention and of course any other building projects that get underway as the days grow longer and the weather drier.
Certainly those in the know in the construction industry are keenly aware that Newbury Tools is first and foremost in meeting their needs – often in a hurry. And keen DIY enthusiasts have also discovered that Newbury Tools is the best place to go for both advice and service.
The popular store sells and hires out equipment to both trade and DIY, as Martin Neal explained: “During the week we are busy with trade professionals buying and renting tools and providing help and advice, but at the weekend it changes to DIY.
"The garden equipment we offer, from rotavators through to shredders, mini-diggers and post hole boring tools are in great demand, as are our vacuum cleaners and carpet washers as people spring clean their homes and businesses.
“There are lots of building projects underway too and we are able to offer a quality service to someone who wants to improve their own home and can guide them on deciding upon the right equipment for the job. Sometimes people know what they want to do, but are unsure of the tools they need.”
Mr Neal, who runs the business with his son Simon, explained: “We have always prided ourselves on being able to help people find the right tools and equipment and we are continually updating our range to keep pace with the demand for the latest equipment.
“It is also about customer service, and I am proud that the team we have at Newbury Tools are very knowledgeable and understand the products that we sell and offer for hire. Many of our customers will already know what they need, but others appreciate the help we can offer.”
The spacious store is easy to find in Hambridge Road, opposite the Old London Apprentice pub, and has ample free parking outside. Once inside visitors are greeted by a comprehensive range of tools and equipment that no professional or DIYer should be without – Newbury Tools offers more than 25,000 lines. The mezzanine floor has displaying a wide range of woodworking equipment together with a range of quality door furniture and the Festool range of quality power tools.
There are examples of every kind of tool imaginable and perhaps a few you could never envisage. There is also the safety equipment many jobs require. Whatever a customer requires they can be assured the attentive staff is on hand to answer queries and help find the right tool from the range on offer – and they can quickly obtain more specialist tools from a variety of suppliers.
