Brilliant shop ands service! I took my bike to them as the kick stand broke and could not be removed by the cycle shop. Scott very kindly had a go at it with angle grinder, hammer and chisel and managed to remove the remnants of the old stand so I could get a new one installed - all for a very reasonable price. Super friendly guys who couldn't do enough to help. Thanks!

Great resource with a huge amount of stock. Everything from washers to lathes

Excellent shop, they can pretty much make anything you need.
However....
Edit - unfortunately this review was written before they ignored the fact that they didn't complete my order - I called multiple times, they said they would post out the last of 32 brackets, nothing ever arrived.
Pretty disgusting to be honest.

Terrible customer service
Went in today and spoke to an elderly man behind the till and he couldn't have been anymore unhelpful or rude.

A proper supplier that has almost everything and can give advice too.

I needed a replacement mattock handle. You could buy them for a few quid online, and all the reviews said they'd last maybe as long as a year or two, but the handle I was replacing was on my partner's grandfather's mattock that had lasted 70 years. So I looked for a good quality one, hard wood, etc. For decent kit, Mackays were cheaper than anyone else online, and they're a family run outfit.
If you don't mind replacing your tools every year or so, or having to push twice as hard to get them to bite, don't bother with this place.
If you know what a false economy is, this is your hardware store ;)
Thanks guys!

I took my broken pushchair in just before Christmas and they managed to find the time to fix it for me despite being really busy. Great quick service and really reasonable price. Very happy
