Scraping DIY and home improvement stores in the United Kingdom — price & assortment monitoring
DIY retail scraping in the United Kingdom: catalogs, stock levels, unit prices and regional availability.
DIY is a category where price lives in units of measure: per piece, meter, liter or pack. We normalize store prices in the United Kingdom to comparable units and log per-store availability — in this category it varies city to city more than anywhere else.
There are 12 platforms here, led by B&Q, Screwfix, Wickes by domain authority. Site size is not a constraint: catalogs with hundreds of thousands of SKUs and small stores are normalized to the same field schema, making sellers directly comparable.
Brands you will meet across these stores include Bosch, DeWalt, Makita, Ronseal, Karcher, Stanley. The product-to-brand mapping ships with the data: convenient for distribution control and shelf comparison.
We deliver data the way you need it: one-off price scraping or scheduled refresh, in Excel, CSV, JSON, XML, Google Sheets, REST API or straight into your database. We agree the field structure upfront and send a free sample first.
