Kingfisher increased its group like-for-like sales by 1.6% in its second quarter as this year's hot summer helped boost sales.
Like-for-like sales at B&Q in the UK and Ireland rose by 3.6% while sales at Kingfisher's Screwfix brand climbed by 5.5%.
Véronique Laury, chief executive of Kingfisher, said: "We started our transformation two and a half years ago and are on track to deliver our strategic milestones for the third year in a row.
"In Q2, I'm pleased that we grew our sales after the exceptionally harsh weather conditions in Q1. In B&Q, Screwfix and Brico Dépôt France we delivered good sales growth."
