YouGov Surveys

The UK's Number 1 Paint Retailer

In January 2017 B&Q commissioned YouGov to carry out a survey on its behalf.

The following YouGov slides show that 40% of 6560 people surveyed had purchased interior paint and 15% had purchased exterior paint for home improvement between July 2016 and January 2017.

49% of the 2739 respondents who bought either interior or exterior paint purchased from B&Q which represented the highest number purchased from a single retailer.

All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc. Fieldwork was undertaken between the 9th and 12th of January 2017.
The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all GB adults (aged 18+). These YouGov slides allow you to verify the claim.

The UK's Number 1 Fires Retailer

In June 2017 B&Q commissioned YouGov to carry out a survey on its behalf and found us to be the UK’s Number One Fire Retailer.

485 of 11251 people surveyed had purchased a new gas or electric fire, solid fuel stove and/or fire surround between the end of June 2016 – 23rd June 2017.

111 of the 485 of YouGov survey respondents choose B&Q as the retailer they had purchased a fire or surround between the end of June 2016 – 23rd June 2017. If respondents had purchased a new gas or electric fire, solid fuel stove and/or fire surround from more than one retailer, they were asked to confirm were they spent the majority of their money.

The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all GB adults (aged 18+). These YouGov slides allow you to verify the claim.
