Building materials in Wellington

“Great choice of colours and wallpapers. Thanks Abby for your enthusiasm and help, very happy with service.”

“Hi. I had the most wonderful experience at your Wellington depot today. I didn't catch his name - Maori guy, mid-50s , fit as. Used to be a printer ( we chatted about random stuff :-)) Talk about helpful! He is a total asset. My husband and I really appreciated the way he dealt with us. Thanks so much x”

“Brand new facility, great knowledgeable staff that will go the extra mile.”

“These guys are awesome. I am a novice musician so needed all their advice. They didn't try to see me something that I didn't need but knew what I did. Thanks guys. I will be back.”

“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!”

“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”

“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.”

“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 *****”

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

“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 hardware store awesome staff friendly and well trained average prices about the same as Mitre 10. They also offer a surprising range of unexpected items. With the new road between Queens Street and the Strand coming im very keen to see what the future holds for Wainuiomata Hammer Hardware. Recommended shop to visit for a wide range of needs. Update 12th May 2023 Earlier this year they redid the sorry looking garden by the side of the footpath with fresh bark chips and plants looks great and gave the entire area a big facelift. Its great to see the place coming back to life and alot more traffic, the strand was dieing for too long ever since United Video shutdown.”

“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.”

“Locally owned made longrun roofing to fit. explain the difference types for wind lift, good range of colours fit roofs as well.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 !!”

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

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Nika has great customer service! Thank you for making our purchase easier today.”

“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.”
