Clerkenwell Screws

This man is an absolute expert and gem. Our key machine broke down for 2 weeks I searched the Internet and every local took shop for this Imperial measured Screw. As soon as he looked at it was able to identify it and now our machine works again.

Amazing shop still run by the original owner. Very well stocked and even better customer service, ask anything if you're unsure and they are more than happy to assist. Currently closed as the owner is away and will be back at the end of August/early September. Will drop by again for sure.

Wanted 1/4 inch whitworth nuts for some handles and " the man" Knew exactly what I wanted and produced them for me. You don't get that service at B& Q , we then chatted about motorbikes and hope that the business stays open for many years

They always have what you ask for. Support places like this as they are slowly disappearing!

An amazing shop with an owner who has spent decades, knowing and understanding his trade and can really help you with everything. Fantastic institution. We are lucky to have it. If you want a business with 12 hours a day opening including weekends and a fancy website updated everyday, don't come here. If you want an exceptional person who really loves their work, this is the place and you're going to have to make sure he gets some time off to live and be the person he is. High rents, squeezed out by the fast food, and the loss of custom from people who prefer to drive in their vans to screwfix, means that this hero will soon no longer be opening his shop. Our loss.

Massive stock of stainless steel screws. General tools etc. Nice owner, been the family business for generations. I saw the owner approach a lady on the street having problems with her bike, just as he was opening the shop, he went inside a loaned her a tool to get back on the road. Demonstrates how much of a gentleman he is. Use it or loose it. Trade doesn’t warrant longer hours.

Excellent place! I had an issue with my heat press and I needed a specific bolt. Mr Patel was very helpful and come up with a solution. Highly recommended!

They were good when they were open, but as of 2024 they seem to be permanently shut, despite them still advertising they are still open half days when they are not open at all! Pity they didn’t inform their customers that they have permanently closed! As I have been there 3 mornings in a row this week, only to find that the shutters were down! They also have a useless answering machine that informs the caller to email in! Don’t waste your time as I did. I will miss them, but not their shoddy service.

I am no handy woman, or DIY enthusiast. I'd like to stress that before i launch into this review. my best friend is; he runs a workshop at a gallery and this is the only place that he goes to pick up supplies. He urged to to write about this shop and spread this to others. So here we go! It's amazing. Like an old school hardware store that smells part wood, part like your shed. The staff are incredibly nice and helpful and their stock is impressive. Now i don't know anything about nuts and bolts, screws and drills, but i do know that whevever aforementioned friend has been in here they've always got what he wants, and he travels here to get all of his supplies.
