The salesperson in the shop was very helpful and informative. She took the time to go through all the options with us and arranged an appointment for a member of the design team to visit, take measurements, and discuss whether we should proceed with a full refurbishment or simply purchase the products.
However, on the day of the appointment, a member of the design team called and asked about our budget. When we explained that our budget was less than £10,000 per bathroom, he did not seem particularly interested in proceeding, and the appointment never went ahead.
Based on my experience, unless your budget is at a level they consider worthwhile, there seems to be little value in speaking with the design team. The service in the shop was very good, but the follow-up experience was disappointing.

Excellent service received from AJ at the Colchester branch.
AJ was our bathroom designer he was extremely friendly, polite, very experienced, knowledgeable , helpful and able to offer us various ideas and choices .
We stepped into Wickes very confused at all of the options suggested by local tradesmen.
AJ didn’t rush us at all ,gave us the time and information we needed and we felt totally at ease throughout the process.
We used the Wickes installation team .
Jason refurbished/refitted our bathroom and was an absolute delight to have him work in our home and has carried out an amazing job.
We are extremely happy with the service and end result.
Thank you Wickes.

Thank you so much to staff on the shift today in Colchester Wicks. The manager Renato was great and supported us to exchange our items. Colchester service was superb and staff were very helpful. We are very thankful, that's why we are regular customers.

Met AJ Thomas for our bathroom planning.He was so helpful and knowledgeable. He suggested ways our ideas would work and offered alternatives which actually proved better. He didn't try hard selling anything which was welcome. Fantastic service, so far.

I had a fantastic experience with Gavin Hickmott at Wickes. He came out to our home the very same day to help with our cloakroom project, which was incredibly helpful and much appreciated.
Gavin was friendly, professional and exceptionally knowledgeable. He took the time to listen to what we wanted, offered brilliant ideas and practical suggestions we hadn't even considered, and guided us through every step of the process. His expertise gave us complete confidence in our choices.
With Gavin's help, we've now purchased everything we need for the project, and that's entirely down to his excellent advice and customer service. Nothing was too much trouble, and we never felt rushed.
Gavin is a real credit to Wickes, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone planning a new bathroom or cloakroom. Thank you again for such outstanding service!

Had my home visit by James Clark from the Colchester branch. Polite, professional and knows what he is doing. Came up with good designs, followed up with a meeting in store to finalise the details which was just as efficient. Had some good tips too as I am installing the kitchen myself. Highly recommend Wickes kitchens and talking to James

Kitchen design consultation with James Clark was extremely constructive and helpful. James listened to and understood our brief, suggested alternatives where appropriate and left us confident in the design, product and service.

John McCormick was fabulous. Could not do enough. The installation went really well. Impressed how they cleaned up every day. Also refunded tiles that were left over

Reply from Wickes - Colchester
We were determined to walk out with a complete bathroom design and plan of action and that’s exactly what we did. James was very knowledgeable and advised what would work best for our space.

Outstanding service from Andrew at the Colchester branch

The designer took notice of all our requirements and gave helpful advise when choosing units and fittings. The installer was able to deal with all the issues that were encountered in a professional manner

Needed a new kitchen when I moved home and had sourced various ones before deciding on Wickes.
Home consultation and in store at Colchester with James Clark, design consultant, was beneficial.
Very helpful and patient with planning and choosing accessories. Any questions I had were answered and customer service was very good.
Very pleased with my Chester Reed Green kitchen.

AJ was really switched on to what look and result we wanted and really took the brief as well as thought out of the box for great solutions. He was great! Our only quibble was the cost of installing as will have blank canvas to work in as bathroom being built to first fix so all pipes and electrics will be there ready no ripping out old stuff . A little disappointing they don’t discount for that part .

Very good experience. Andrew Lovlee provided excellent customer service.

Extremely pleased with our new kitchen from Wickes. James Clark was excellent helping us design our kitchen and the installation team of Darren Watts were polite and extremely hard working, especially during an extreme May heatwave. Project managers checked in on the installation team and there were several follow up calls at the end to confirm we were happy with the result. I definitely recommend Wickes for a kitchen.

AJ helped with designing my kitchen and bathroom about 5/6 months ago. He took measurements and helped pick out the products in no time. Due to my circumstances I wasn’t able to move forward with the planned projects. Last week, I contacted AJ again to get moving on the kitchen project, he picked up right where we left off. We confirmed all the products and he took the time to ensure everything was still what I was looking for. I didn’t have to start all over again, and AJ made the process extremely easy! Can’t wait to see the designs come to life.
Amazing level of support and advice from AJ. Highly recommend - great design consultant!
