I'm so grateful for Gary's help!

I'm so grateful for the outstanding support of Gary Vent at the Durham branch. As a Autistic person I was totally overwhelmed when researching my new bathroom. From the moment I met Gary he put me at ease and adapted to my communication and processing needs without making me feel different to any other customer. I would never have designed my dream bathroom without his highly skilled, patient, knowledgable and friendly approach. He made an experience that I was dreading, actually enjoyable! I trusted him to help me choose what was right for me. I will be forever grateful for his dedication, attention to detail and flexibility. I would recommend other neurodivergent people who are anxious about the process, to ask for Gary and I hope that Wickes encourages other staff to take his approach. He truly went over and above for me without ever making feel that my additional needs were a burden. All the other staff members I met at the Durham store were also super helpful. Not enough businesses are willing to work inclusively and adapt for the specific needs of the disability community - well done Gary & Wickes!

Lovely new kitchen

Richard from the Durham Wickes store has been fantastic. He put so much time and effort into designing our kitchen and spent a lot of time on the little details. He’s always answered our queries and made changes really quickly, either in person or answering via email and he’s been fantastic to liaise with. Wickes have kept us updated all the way through and the kitchen is looking fantastic. Richard in particular has designed a lovely kitchen, pantry, and utility, and we really appreciate it. Also, Mark Tose, who installed the kitchen has made a fabulous job, great finish and fantastic work.

New kitchen journey

Our new kitchen journey started by visiting the Durham store. There were many lovely kitchens on display and a favourite quickly presented itself. We emailed the store to arrange a home visit by one of the designers. Richard very quickly contacted us with a date he would come out and see what we were wanting in our new kitchen. He was a very friendly guy, he shared ideas and thoughts of what would work for us. After that and a couple of visits back to the store we booked and paid for our new kitchen.
We highly recommend Durham Wickes and Richard for all the work he put into our new kitchen.

Can’t complain

Met for a kitchen design appointment. The designer Gary listened to what I wanted and created a design I was happy with and a price for what was required.
Great experience so far.

Waste of space

Please, please do not deal with this company.
Ordered a kitchen, which with fitting cost over 20k. What a shambles. Should have taken 2 weeks to complete, but due to the incompetence of Wickes it took 3 months.
I rang my instalation advisor over 31 times over the 3 months and only managed to speak him a couple of times. I was passed from pillar to post.
The only person who helped was a lovely lady called Caroline.
The design of the kitchen is bad with one corner cupboard being unable to use as you can't even get a plate through the door. Units which were going to be taken into a alcove, so the whole alcove would be used, haven't so we have lost space. Some units were 2ft shorter than the ceiling when all other units fitted right up to the ceiling.
If they measure for flooring be very careful. We were told we needed 6 extra boxes of flooring and underlay. When fitter arrived he said straight away we had far to much. We then had ro do a 60 mile round for to return it for a refund.
All in all we have been offered £170 compensation, which is a absolute insult.
Please do not let Wickes near your home.
The fitters Wickes supplied were great and I can not thank them enough, they too had a bit of a rough time having to come back and forth

I have given this store a 5 star review overall but I would like to personally shoutout to a member of staff called Jay. I found her very approachable to begin with when I needed help within the store, she was very helpful but most of all full of knowledge when I was unsure on what I was buying. Thanks to Jay, my experience within Wickes was excellent!
