“I regularly visit B+Q at Pontypridd and the staff are always very helpful and friendly, whichever dept I'm looking through. The garden centre is my favourite dept and the staff are knowledgeable (I'm not) and give advice freely. Whoever has been on the door checking customers in during covid has been welcoming and helpful,(I'm on crutches). Linda at the checkout is always lovely. Such a happy lady.”

“Staff at Portsmouth branch totally unhelpful and to be honest obviously not bothered one way or the other to help customers. Some serious staff training needed. Although you would think common courtesy would be a basic. Made to feel like you’re a nuisance for asking a simple question, which no one knows how to answer anyway. Very much ( computer says no ) attitude. Really need to up their game. Certainly has put me off ever visiting this store again .”

“As useless a chocolate teapot : Over the last two days (19th & 20th Sept. 2020) I have had nothing but bad service at the B&Q Cardiff stores at Culverhouse Cross and Cardiff Gate respectively. As a non tradesman on my visit to both stores I asked for assistance in buying some electrical products. Each time I was told by staff members that they only stack shelves and have no knowledge of the products, which was a real great help (not ! ) to me. On the last trip I was told by a staff member that I could speak to someone who works in the electrical isle. Great I thought, only to find he stated the same statement ! And I had waited 10 minutes for him to come and give me useless information ! On the items I did take a chance on I made my way to the check out to find they apparently didn't have bar codes on so I couldn't purchase them ! I waited about 15 minutes at the checkout for a store member to find the replacement items with the bar codes on. He didn't return so now I was totally fed up and left the store with no purchases. What a waste of my time !”

“I am extremely appalled by how B&Q handled my delivery, they not only delayed it but would not take in charge of the issue they had created and the customer service is very poor. I had ordered a whole kitchen from their store and the delivery service had failed to bring all my items, and now I have to wait for even longer to get the missing product that I should have got long ago. This was not practical as my builder could not wait for that delivery date and they left, which leaves me in a tough situation as my kitchen has been left unusable for more than a month. Then had to recall my builder and was charged extra, which is not necessary, and showed no courtesy to compensate. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend B&Q to anybody as they are not organised or responsible for their actions.”

“Disgusted with B&Q Bury. Hand sanitizer on entry, very good, but that is where their fight against COVID-19 ends. Not only was there a large number of customers not wearing face masks but a lot of staff on the shop floor had no face masks or face shields. B&Q have lost my custom.”

“Items were shown as in stock on multiple occasions, after proceeding to checkout and paying for said items, informed three times that the items were not available. Unhelpful customer services representatives who informed me that I would have to speak to another company entirely (PJH) to sort out returns or exchanges. Absolutely unsatisfactory service. Shocking”

“This company does not give a damn about customers. It will ignore complaints, lie about deliveries, not investigate issues, deliver order 3 weeks late, deliver items incorrectly. And have the audacity to offer me £25 in goodwill for the inconvenience. I cannot believe they are not doing anything about this. Not surprised rating is so low. Ceo don't care either. Ring me on 07521108258 if you need more info.”

“I ordered six bags of compost and six of the horse manure a week ago. Only the manure was delivered, despite the fact all the money was quickly taken from my card. I have called customer services twice they say despite the fact I had ordered online, that they have to speak to the store (Yeading), but every time they try, the store put the phone down to them. They said I could ring the store mysel, but as clearly the store do not respect calls from other employees they are hardly going to give a damn about the customers. Customer services do not have the authority to cancel an order and refund the card - bazaar. I will certainly never order online for them again, it's too risky. I would now have to get a refund for my credit card provider. What a disgrace”

“Today I have attempted at least 6 times to buy some products from them via their website. After navigating my way to the appropriate section I found what I was looking for and added each item to my basket before heading to the checkout portion of the site. This is where I started to have issues. After completing the details section and proceeding to try to pay for the items, I was unceremoniously notified that there was a problem with the transaction. A couple of further attempts resulted in the same result and a lost basket that couldnt be viewed meaning id have to start all over again. I phoned my bank and they checked the error code that was displayed, I answered the security questions, all checks out, card is good, funds to support the purchase in the account. Re filled all the forms, submitted the order, boom. Same issue. Tried again, same result. Then attempted again on a different computer, different card same effect, they dont want my custom. :D Phoned their head orifice, no help at all, couldnt do the order over the phone, told me to contact a local branch. Phoned their wednesbury branch, told them of the issues, they cant do it cos of covid. Didnt know you could catch it over the phone....... So Im now stuck. Im not going to visit the place, theyve got some of the dumbest restrictions in place ever seen, I think theyre trying to out-stalag screwfix..., stand here, get back! dont go that way, go the other way, no not like that like this, wear your mask, take me roughly from behind..... I can say with total conviction, digging a ten foot long trench in sewage contaminated clay has been an absolute pleasure this morning, breaking 9 inch concrete was a joy, manhandling half a ton of waste was educational and utterly fulfilling, virtually sexual in comparison to trying to order some plastic pipes and fittings from B and Q-useless. Theyre never going to survive if they carry on like this. Total waste of my time so now ill have to go try to find a local company that will want to take my money. Tired of this nonsense I am.”

“We attended an appointment for a kitchen design with Ryan. We were possibly the most unorganised couple but Ryan was really helpful and talked us through all the options without any pushy sales techniques. After spending nearly 2 hours on our design and paying for the kitchen, we realised that we had given him the wrong measurements! Ryan was calm and without any problems adjusted the design and refund. After nearly 3 hours we left with a kitchen we love and will be returning to him to design our bathroom. Thank you Ryan, you were extremely patient with a nightmare of a couple!!”

“COVID DANGER...... COVID..... I am hunting to give you a honest but poor trip advisor review. You need to show a little leadership and bottle not just maximise sales by not challenging / reminding customers. VISTED store ( probably for the last time) Tues 8th Sept about 12 noon. sore was quiet with about a 2 person till que and I would guess 10 folk in store. Possibly more Q and Q staff than customers. WAS AMAZED to see several fit looking male customers with no masks. I had a word with staff who said they are not allowed to remind / challange. He sated only the police can do that. APPALING. I suggested a descrete tanoy message to remind customers. He said he cannot do it and IT DID NOT HAPPEN. I realise customers may have medical reasons / or forgot masks. But to not even put out a tonoy message shows cowardly lack of leadership.”

“Spent the morning phoning B&Q sent round the houses time and time again, no one seamed to know what they were doing, then I was very lucky and a young lady called Jodie in the Torquay branch picked up the phone, she was so helpful it was a delight to find someone who not only knew what she was doing but took the time to look for what I needed, got it checked, then phoned me back to tell me that it was there waiting for me, thank you Jodie for your fantastic customer service, well done,”
