"Jack's DIY in Sale is the model of how a shop should be run. They have every conceivable thing needed for DIY and are always friendly with a smile and full of practical advice if it is needed.

"To add to this, you can buy things in small quantities, such as how many pieces of sandpaper you need or knobs for drawers and plastic sheeting for protecting floors or furniture by the metre, again saving money.

"For some things like adhesives, they sell the leading brand at better prices than the DIY chains!

"On each occasion when I have been to get things there, the service has been tiptop and worth the travel from Altrincham rather than going to closer ones.

"Please recognise them in your roll of honour, which they richly deserve."

Sarah Louise Orpet, Altrincham
