Lazy on a sunday morning..

On entering wickes on Sunday morning, I asked if they could remove the padlock to buy a 4ft x 6ft fence panel.
I was told at the counter by the customer service till I had to manoeuvre it myself as they don't unlock the padlock.
Being slightly disabled due to an operation I found it very hard to remove the panel.
And the customer service disappointing.
If all your staff are like this you should be ashamed to call them staff and retrain them.
I,m glad all people at hedge end store are not like that.

Thanks Jim for actual customer service

A really refreshing experience thanks to the friendliness and knowledge of Jim (Maidstone). I find DIY places a bit intimidating as a woman, but Jim’s friendliness made any nerves ebb away quickly. He was jovial, relaxed, friendly and shared his extensive background in paint, offering that we could draw upon it if we ever needed guidance.
Customer purchases can be so impersonal and sterile, but Jim went way beyond a transaction and delivered exceptional service which is long forgotten in modern society. Thank you Jim.

You ask me what went wrong -EVERYTHING

You ask me what went wrong. Everything! I told you and you ignored my comments. The product was not as describes on your website. I contacted you to complain, you did not respond. I contacted you again, you did not acknowledge the previous contact. Rubbish product, rubbish service!

9litre tub of Wickes shed stainer

I bought a 9litre tub of Wickes shed and fence paint , to say it is not fit for purpose, would be a compliment,
on new wood i had to put four coats of the stuff to get any kind of result, you would do better with a bottle of
cordial. there own brand fence paint is useless, taking peoples money under false pretences , come on wickes
you can do better

Excellent Bathroom Installation Experience

We had an excellent experience with Wickes from start to finish. From the initial bathroom consultation and design selection through to delivery, installation, and aftercare, the entire process was seamless and professionally managed.

A special mention goes to Thanim, who was the very first person we met at Wickes. He was exceptionally helpful, thorough, and genuinely caring throughout the entire journey. His professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to ensuring everything went smoothly made a real difference. He looked after us from beginning to end and provided outstanding customer service.

We were kept informed at every stage, including delivery schedules, installation progress, rubbish clearance, and aftercare support. The communication was excellent throughout, giving us complete confidence in the process.

The finished bathroom looks fantastic, and we are delighted with the result.

Thank you to Thanim Malique and the whole Wickes team for such a positive experience.

Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Superstar Jim!

My husband and I went today to the Wickes branch in Maidstone, Kent. The store was clean, neat and nicely cool for a hot day. We found everything we needed and Jim was extra specially helpful, really went above and beyond for us. We're very grateful for his help. Jim is a real credit to the branch and to the wider company

Bathroom Design - Southport Wickes

We made an appointment to have our bathroom designed with Antony at the Southport branch. Although we had some ideas of what we wanted for our bathroom, we wanted someone to suggest ideas to maximise our space within our budget, especially as this was our first bathroom renovation! Before our appointment Antony looked at our measurements and prepared a floorplan before our arrival. Antony listened to everything we wanted, made fantastic suggestions and put together a very comprehensive design for us. He was welcoming to us, polite, professional and came across as genuinely passionate for his job. We also liked how Antony didn't pressure us into making our decisions - he made it clear he was there if we had any questions, yet did not hassle us for our decision! Overall, a very pleasant experience and we would not hesitate to recommend him.
