If you’re planning on finally doing that DIY project or sprucing up the garden this early May bank holiday weekend you might need a few supplies.

Thankfully – unlike over the Easter holiday – most major DIY stores across the UK will be open across all three days.

However, some may have restricted hours on the Monday, and the delivery service timings may be different.

Here, we take a look at the opening times for B&Q, Wickes, Screwfix, and the Range, which has taken over several Homebase stores.

Most Homebase stores have now closed or been taken over by The Range.

Several Range stores have Homebase garden centres, however, and a few sell Homebase kitchens. They also sell non-Homebase branded DIY products.

The Range outlets should all be open as usual on Monday but its worth checking the chain’s store finder for details on your closest shop.
