23 months ago we made the biggest mistake possible and ordered a Wickes Kitchen! The fitters, Andrew Cooper and Andrew Smith of Cooper Joinery in Weymouth were supplied by Wickes. They turned up when they felt like it, left our house and especially the kitchen in an unusable state for over 3 weeks. The workmanship was amateurish. They damaged our property! Tiled up to a door so it wouldn't open, I had to remove the door myself to get into the kitchen! We had 4 pages (A4) of issues! They lied and were threatening and abusive when I refused to sign their "completion" paperwork They were also Fraudulent! I have evidence!!
Wickes's Customer Service were absolutely useless!! They lie, break promises and deliberately make matters worse!!
The Wickes Installation Manager, Mark Bond, turned up smelling of Alcohol and could see no problems (despite the 4 pages of A4 listing the faults), probably due to blurred vision! He accused me of assaulting the Wickes electrician. Then told someone that he lied!! He is renowned for bullying and threatening customers who complain! Again I have evidence!!
The Wickes Regional Manager agreed there were significant issues! Yet it took months to get some of them addressed. I had to constantly chase as contact was pretty much 1 way!! We are still left with major issues which Wickes fail to deal with!!
The designer, Mark James, came and was apologetic for the poor workmanship, yet did NOTHING!! He said Customer Services would sort it out!! Mind you he wasn't capable of checking whether the kitchen was square!!! I had to show him how to do it, basic maths, but then he is a kitchen designer so probably measuring and maths are not his speciality!!!
We had taken out "Interest free credit", yet despite us NOT signing any completion paperwork because it was incorrect, incomplete and Fraudulently completed by the fitters, Wickes notified Hitachi Finance we had and were satisfied with the kitchen!!! We have STILL NOT signed any paperwork, yet have had to pay for a totally abysmal Kitchen installation.
I wrote on 2 occasions to the Head of Customer Services and received no reply from him. I wrote to Wickes CEO who forwarded the letter to one of the people I was complaining about!!!
DO NOT USE Wickes!! I, and hundreds of other people have had poor Kitchen Installations, and cannot get satisfaction! Wickes Customer Service is atrocious and also Fraudulent!!
Don't buy a kitchen from Wickes!!!
Wickes give you "Housebarrassment" not get rid of it!!!
