The staff at homebase Bishop Auckland …
The staff at homebase Bishop Auckland are really helpful , go out of there way to help and very friendly, it’s a pleasure to go in I have to say Donna at the Bishop Auckland store is really lovely thank you to all in there Sharon .
Very misleading advertising
Just bought an Andorra 4 seater table and 4 chairs plus parasol in the 15% off sale.
Product looks fantastic - made our mind up it was right. Then to be told the parasol base which cost £30 - £25 in sale- WAS NOT INCLUDED.
No where on the dodgy advertising was this stated ! The parasol 4 chairs and base were featured and stated as included. FAILED to mention the parasol base as an extra. Very poor advertising and I’m sure against trading standards.

Excellent Customer Service
We visited Homebase at Bishop Auckland yesterday evening and couldn't be more pleased with the service we received. I asked Paul a staff member for some advice who went out of his way to assist us and then took us around the store to further help with the rest of our purchases. Nothing was a trouble to him, excellent customer service.

Paul let my little boy assist with paint mixing my son is deaf amd has a learning disability, any interaction like that just makes his day, Many thanks!!
Excellent customer service
I asked for assistance from Richard and although he was busy, he was very pleasant and helpful. I then was offered or asked for assistance from 2 other members of staff, it was a wonderful experience to get such engaged staff. Richard came to help again with an unsure colleague, carried my large purchase downstairs then into my car. Fantastic service from Homebase bishop Auckland staff- excellent, pleasant cashier too. I went in for a £10 purchase and spent £80-that’s my only complaint, lol. Will definitely be my first choice of DIY store in the future, well done and thank you all 🌟 for restoring my faith in customer service 👍

Up until I requested help with carrying my paint to the car it was ok.
My request was not denied but the attitude of the guy and the woman on the till was not what I would expect. I carried the tins of paint and a plant, I had also purchased, to the car myself in the end....
