Customer Reviews

Very Helpful Staff

I go to Lenehans whenever I need household things I cannot buy in a supermarket.  I was there recently with a small issue I was hoping one of the staff could help resolve and the man I spoke to came up with a simple and cheap solution straight away so I was very pleased.  I was back a week later with another issue and again happened to get the same very helpful man.  His name is Ben based on my last two experiences I would definitely seek him out if I had a particular issue I wanted advice on. -Marian

Top Quality Shop

Fantastic hardware store.   Has most things you’ll need.    A very wide selection of tools and equipment. Great location as well in the middle of town so it’s really easy to get to. Top quality shop. A little bit more expensive than other shops but that’s the price you pay for convenience.

They are the largest seller of Frenchic Paint and Colourtrend but have expanded to include over 10, 000 in other home needs areas.

We also really like the other items they have to offer. These include garden tools, barbeque systems, celebration cards, candles and, especially, a wide array of paints.

This is the perfect store to visit if you’re looking for household and renovation supplies.

Their store also offers delivery as well as a “click and collect” service. Both options are great as orders over € 70 have free nationwide delivery and “click and collect” orders have a quick preparation time.
