Guide to DIY and home improvement shops and services in Amersham

What is it about the Autumn that compels so many people to start DIY projects. Perhaps it's that Autumn chill forcing us indoors after the summer. Perhaps it's end of summer sales. Or maybe just the looming visit of the parent-in-law for Christmas that nudges us to fix those leaks, paint and buy some nice new cushions for them to admire and/or judge as they eye out the way we live...

Whatever the reason, there are some stores and businesses in Amersham that are worth a visit if you're embarking on some home improvement this Autumn. 

Tools

Starting with the heavy-duty flooring, sanding and repair jobs, Prestige Tool Hire on White Lion Road, Amersham, with their large range of tools for hire helps make those tasks a bit easier. Prestige has everything you'll need from ladders to sanders, jigsaws and high powered carpet cleaners to tidy up when the job is done.
