Tommy's Deals is another section on the site, this time dedicated to bestsellers and deals of the week and is categorised by handtools, powertools, workwear and materials.

A hard landscaper by trade, Mr Walsh shot to fame in the 1990s alongside Charlie Dimmock and Alan Titchmarsh in the popular BBC series, Ground Force.

"In Tradessupermarket.com we have a site which not only stores a large catalogue of products, but can be used as a resource for DIYers who need practical help at home be it a lesson on how to plaster a wall or hang a door," said Mr Walsh.

"Through Facebook we will also be asking for feedback on the site and what other 'Trade secrets' people would like to see – we want to make the site as user-friendly and interactive as possible."
