Building materials in Wellington

“Really impressed with the service provided by the kitchen/laundry department. The Häfele flat pack cupboards and drawer units, and the Elfa shelving system turned our laundry from drab to fab. Now it's an awesome space with marvelleous storage!”

“Very helpful young guy at tye counter. He pointed me to what I needed. All good”

“We love the cafe in this Mitre 10. Their fries are much better than all other Columbus Coffee in town. Apart from the cafe, we look for interesting plants there as well. It never let us down.”

“Absolutely amazing friendly staff from start to finish, installed earlier than expected, professional team, highly recommend to anyone!”

“Been shopping here for years. Wonderful knowledgeable staff and fantastic finishes....”

“Exceptional service, really appreciate it thanks Emily”

“I had my Dremel Micro repaired by the Team. I dealt with John and Louise and both were very helpful and were able to repair my tool very quickly. Very happy with the service. Thank you Lower Hutt Powertool Centre.”

“Great friend ly service but no prices on products”

“5 star review for the lovely young Pasifika woman (apologies I didn't catch her name but wanted to make sure she was identified) who assisted me on the 25th of June around approx 5/6pm with my dehumidifier. I brought in my dehumidifier (almost at 2 years old) due to electrical faults and concerns, wanting to check my warranty and if I could get some help. Initially I was assisted by an older lady who misunderstood my request thinking I was after a return/refund, after I had specifically asked for some help with my machine that had sparked when I plugged in & was wanting to know if it was still under warrant and/or if someone could help fix it. She then proceeded to tell me I needed a receipt even after I showed my online contact with Mitre 10 noting the staff could call the shipping store upon arrival to assist and get the receipt details as it was an online order, but she told me to ring the store myself. As I went outside to grab the machine from my car & brought it back in with my daughter, I hear the woman telling the young lady I was after a refund/return which was in fact untrue, I quickly corrected her and this is where the young lady came in and helped me out. As I purchased online there was no physical copy but she was super helpful as I showed her the email contact with Mitre 10 & online details i could provide, The young lady got the initial staff member to call up the shipping store and was just super helpful and sorted it out fast and efficient. Great customer service, attentive, listened to what I needed and I was able to get a replacement as I was still within my 2 year warranty. The difference in service was visible & I think shes a great example of perfect customer service. Thank you very much to this young lady- approachable, super helpful and super happy with the outcome.”

“Excellent Service and very fair pricing. Bought in my Masport Lawnmower for a service after it died. Ended up needing a replacement engine after 12+ years. They found a VG Reconditioned Motor at an amazing price. Runs like near New.”

“Super helpful staff great selection of hardware, garden goods and more. A bit busy on a Saturday but there was even a sausage sizzle on the go - what could be more Kiwi?”

“Love this place. Full of great ideas. Love that you slowly walk around what seems like a circular tower inside. Plenty of ideas for anyone doing up theor homes, or just needing inspiration. The staff are wonderfully friendly and attend to your needs or leave you to it. Whatever you prefer. Wish I coukd come here more. One of my fave places, but then again I'd be an interior designer if I could. Definitely 5 *****”

“We were served by a lovely young lady in the paint department who helped us find the right paint to match the small sample we gave her. She was very professional and went out her way to find what we needed. If we could remember her name we would recommend people go see her.”

“Great for trades people. Looks like this is where their focus is. Very neat and clean in the store. The staff are friendly and they can help with advice, if you need it.”

“Excellent product availability, good staff practicing great safety around heavy goods”

“Bunnings Warehouse Porirua is much more than a hardware store; it's the ultimate hub for all home improvement, gardening, and DIY projects in the Wellington area. This store is a cornerstone of the community, consistently delivering a top-tier shopping experience characterized by massive variety, competitive prices, and truly exceptional team member support. The sheer scale of the product range is impressive, covering everything from essential building supplies and high-quality tools to stylish home decor and an extensive outdoor nursery. The user-friendly layout and clear signage help make navigating this mega-store surprisingly efficient, ensuring you can quickly find the exact item you need, whether it's a single lightbulb or a full kitchen renovation kit. What truly elevates Bunnings Porirua is the fantastic staff. They are consistently friendly, highly knowledgeable, and ready to assist with a genuine eagerness to help customers solve problems and find solutions for their projects. Beyond retail, the store demonstrates a strong commitment to the local area, frequently hosting engaging, free workshops—including popular Kids D.I.Y. sessions—that encourage learning and creativity within the community. Coupled with convenient services like Click & Collect, ample parking, and the iconic weekend sausage sizzle, Bunnings Porirua makes home improvement feel accessible and enjoyable. It is highly recommended for professionals and D.I.Y. enthusiasts alike.”

“Great food. Lovely garden centre and gift shop. They have a big range of plants and gifts.”

“Friendly staff onsite and over the phone were very helpful. Great deals as well in the shop and online.”

“We ordered 4 cubes of pine and gum a month ago and Ablaze delivered it the next day. I'm very happy with the quality of the wood - its mostly ready to burn and it split easily (wasn't too knotty). The staff were lovely to deal with.”

“Really helpful staff. We have lights that require specific bulbs - and these kept blowing (something to do with the heat they produce). They recommended LED and we haven't blown another bulb, yet.”

“The staff were helpful and our delivery was made right on time.”

“I work for one of their suppliers. Garth and his team are always a pleasure to deal with regarding any supplier or customer query. The Hutt City branch is a great support to Parmco a top quality 100% owned company with a 7 year warranty.”

“Frequent visitors to this store because of how well catered it is for kids. Our 3 year old had an accident at Bunnings Petone on the weekend and the staff were so incredible - knew the process,everyone helped accordingly and followed up with a phone call later that day and a gift sent via post. Couldn’t have felt better looked after and cared for - thank you team !!”

“First time I have shopped at Placemakers and what a breath of fresh air compared to the utterly hopeless other large format building supply retailers in Porirua. The staff at Placemakers actually know what they are talking about, they are organized, helpful and offer customer service willingly - instead of trying to avoid customers which is what you get from staff at M10 and Bunnings. The drive through actually has room for vehicles - another improvement on the other two hopeless outfits. Placemakers is where I will be spending my DIY shopping in the future. Wish I had gone there years ago.”

“This is one of the famous places in Wellington for all your kinds of technology and appliance needs. Tech accessories, home entertainment, computers, smartphones, TVs, kitchen electronics items, phone accessories, and more. High-quality product and friendly staff. I recently bought a hair dryer for a good price. The staff was very helpful and helped me to find the items I was searching for. Highly recommended.”

“We had a fantastic experience with Emily today. From the moment we walked into the store, she greeted us warmly without being intrusive and helped us find what we needed. What really stood out was how she noticed we were waiting in line to pay and quickly jumped behind the counter to check us out, making the whole process smooth and efficient. Her attentive and friendly service was greatly appreciated.”

“I shopped here on a Sunday where the sale was on and items are labelled correctly (unlike Wellington City - Taranaki St.) the items were displayed correctly and above all the staff were very helpful. The store is very big and had most household items so it's a one stop shop for big shopping trip. Excellent place, would recommend it for SALE shopping!”
