Kind & helpful staff

I had been sent to Wicks at Riverside Northampton by my husband to purchase some screws and brackets! I asked at the desk and Lottie came to help me, she was so kind and helpful, really chatty and made the whole shop experience a pleasant and easy one! Thank you! 🤩

Exceptional new store -Wickes, Riverside

It was an absolute pleasure to go to the newly opened Wickes on Riverside. The staff are extremely professional and friendly and it was amazing to get sound advice from staff. Ash was particularly helpful and without his help I would not have been able to complete my purchase; his assistance and advice was second to none. I will definitely be using this store again as everyone is so helpful.

Easy to make the appointment and kept informed. Tamsin was fantastic and we had a good conversation about likes dislikes, what I hoped to achieve with a new bathroom plan.
Looking forward to seeing the results.

Amazing Anna

Went in for a new shower head and as I was looking i was ask if I needed help by a lovely member of the team called Anna. She helped me pick out what I needed. Amazing and friendly. The shop was also clean and welcoming. Amazing experience would recommend.

We’ve purchased Esker cabinets and doors

We’ve purchased, and are awaiting delivery, of our new kitchen. To be honest, we’ve flip flopped around over the last 6 weeks between different kitchens and suppliers but, it’s been the excellent service provided by Cam Barton that has made the difference and is ultimately why we are purchasing from Wickes. Never once has he tried to openly ‘sell’ us anything. Instead, he has been calm, helpful, accommodating and has made the whole experience so far non stressful and a pleasurable journey. I will add another review (or update this one) post delivery and installation but im hoping the Wickes product matches the excellent service we have received so far.

Excellent 👍🏻

Excellent 👍🏻 I did a click and collect order which was ready in under the 15 mins stated !! At the checkout, Dan was great, he fetched the 5 items I had ordered and offered to take them to the car for me. I am disabled and use a walker so his help was very much appreciated. Even held everything while I sorted my walker and he past each item so I could put them in the car. 10 out of 10 thank you

Very helpful staff

I came into the store recently and was really impressed with how knowledgeable and helpful a member of your team was. I believe her name was Anna. I came in for a sink pop up plug replacement, which unfortunately was different from the one I needed, however was also impressed in her sales ability as she was trying to sell me a sink replacement. A credit to your company.

Poor Customer service & management!


I recently purchased a Wickes own-brand lock, but unfortunately it was a few millilitres too big. . As it was still unopened, I decided to return it to store and exchange it for a different size.

At the time of purchase, I was asked if I’d like a receipt. I declined in an effort to save paper and help the planet!

When I visited the store to exchange the item, I was disappointed by the attitude of the staff, who were unhelpful and seemed unwilling to assist. I was told they had spoken with the manager, who confirmed that an exchange could not be processed without a receipt.

As someone who works in management myself, I was particularly struck by the lack of helpfulness and empathy shown. While I understand that returns policies are in place for a reason, to be as dismissive about an exchange is not good on Wickes, especially as they have just recently opened! The staff’s attitude promotes the brand!

To add fuel to fire the Wickes own brand lock was of poor quality!
