If you’re planning on doing a spot of DIY this early May bank holiday, then you may be wondering if your local B&Q will be open.
B&Q has more than 300 shops across the UK and the good news is, its branches will be open this Monday, May 5. The DIY retailer is generally open from 7am until 8pm, Monday to Saturday, and this should remain the case on Monday.
Its stores will also be open from 10am to 4pm in England and Wales, or from 9am to 6pm in Scotland. You should still check the B&Q opening times tool online to check when your local branch is open.
It comes as new research from B&Q shows 40% of homeowners and 23% of renters are adapting their current home to meet their changing needs instead of moving.

Graham Bell, CEO at B&Q said: “We’re seeing homeowners have more confidence to undertake radical transformations – bedrooms being moved downstairs, garden rooms becoming annexes with separate entrances, walls going up, and others coming down – whether it’s to accommodate a need driven by living alone, or with immediate or extended family.
“At B&Q, we believe in better homes and better lives for everyone, and with a growing demographic of diy-ers, we’re continuing to evolve and modernise our offer, to give our customers greater choice, convenience and expertise.”
Back in March this year, B&Q owner Kingfisher revealed its yearly profit dropped by more than a third, due to weaker demand for big purchases and rising costs from higher wages, taxes and inflation.
The DIY giant, which also owns Screwfix, said it was expecting around a £145million hit this year.
