According to the Mirror, Homebase and B&Q are literally at war! As we get progressively deeper into the summer, the leading DIY rival firms are going head to head for your business! This is fantastic news for consumers, as if it ends up anything like the Supermarket wars, we could see the rival firms slashing prices in a bid to get feet through their doors!

Lets take a look at similar items from the warring DIY warriors, and see who comes up top!

If you are looking for a cast iron Chimenea for your garden, who can give you the best deal? Well, a Maya Cast Iron Chiminea with an antique bronze finish will set you back £69.99 from Homebase. Whereas B&Q can offer you a Baha Black Cast Iron Chimenea, for only £59.98! A saving of just over tenner!

But, in many ways it may just come down to convenience (or cost of petrol to get there), take for example the Flymo Micro Lite Electric Hover Mower. Homebase have it priced at £34.99, and from B&Q? It is £34.26! Similarly, a 12ft Trampoline, complete with enclose, is currently priced at £182.81 from B&Q, and £174.99 from Homebase.

And, as we customers keep hoping that a price battle will heat things up, it seems that in a bid to keep cool, the rival firms are matching like with like! For example, B&Q have slashed the price of their Globe Modern Ceiling Fan with Brushed Steel Effect from £103.00 to £67.98. This is seemingly to keep in-line with a similar product from Homebase, as the Monaco 4-Blade Ceiling Fan in Chrome is available for £64.99.
