Here to make everyday jobs, home projects and local errands easier.
From DIY supplies, decorating advice and garden essentials to Post Office services, key cutting, paint mixing and Calor Gas, we provide practical help for local people, trades, households and businesses in and around Pangbourne.
We are the kind of shop people rely on when they need the right thing, a bit of guidance and a friendly face behind the counter.
Practical help, useful products and local service
A good hardware shop is about more than shelves of products. It is about knowing what people are trying to do and helping them find the right way to do it.
Whether you are fixing a leak, repainting a room, replacing a key, posting a parcel, getting gas for the BBQ or picking up something for the garden, our team is here to help you get sorted.
We stock a wide range of everyday hardware, tools, decorating supplies, plumbing fittings, electrical essentials, building materials, garden products, household items and useful bits and pieces that save a wasted journey.
Hardware for everyday jobs
Not every job needs a big trade counter or an online order. Sometimes you just need the right screw, brush, fitting, tape, filler, cable, hose connector, bulb, tin of paint or bag of compost.
Collins Hardware is here for those everyday jobs, repairs and improvements that keep homes, gardens and workplaces running.
Our departments include:
Painting and decorating
Building supplies
Garden and outdoor
Electrical
Plumbing supplies
Tools and hardware
Household essentials
Seasonal products
Whether you know exactly what you need or you are still working out the best solution, we are happy to help.
Post Office services in the heart of the community
Our Post Office makes it easier to take care of everyday tasks locally.
You can visit us for a range of Post Office services, including sending letters and parcels, everyday banking support, bill payments and other useful services, depending on availability.
Having a Post Office inside a local hardware shop means you can get several jobs done in one visit. Pick up decorating supplies, send a parcel, get a key cut, collect DIY essentials or ask for advice while you are here.
Services that save you time
Alongside our shop departments and Post Office counter, we also provide practical in-store services to help with common jobs.
These include:
Paint mixing
Key cutting
Calor Gas
Post Office services
Local decorating advice
Home improvement support
These services are designed to make life easier. You can bring in a colour reference, get a spare key cut, sort out a gas bottle, post a parcel and pick up the supplies you need, all in one local visit.
Friendly advice from people who know the shop
We know that not everyone walks in with the exact product name, size or fitting they need. That is why we focus on helpful, practical advice.
You might know the problem but not the part. You might have a photo on your phone, an old fitting in your hand or a rough idea of the job you are trying to do. That is perfectly fine.
Bring it in, show us what you are working on and we will do our best to point you in the right direction.
Supporting local homes, gardens and businesses
Collins Hardware and Post Office supports a wide mix of customers, from local residents and families to landlords, gardeners, small businesses, tradespeople and community organisations.
Some people visit us for regular essentials. Some come in for advice before starting a job. Others pop in because something has broken and they need a quick fix.
Whatever brings you through the door, our aim is the same: to help you find what you need and get on with your day.
Mr Collins’ Corner
Our advice section, Mr Collins’ Corner, shares practical tips for everyday DIY, decorating, repairs, garden jobs and home maintenance.
It is designed to help you make better decisions before you start a job, whether that is working out how much paint you need, choosing the right decorating tools, preparing a wall properly or knowing when to replace a key.
The advice is simple, useful and based on the kinds of questions people ask in store every day.
