“NIGHTMARE FROM HELL! Spent THOUSANDS of pounds on a new kitchen.. As soon as you sign on that dotted line all customer service goes straight out the window. First off we got our kitchen design done by Brian in the Plymouth store... All looked lovely until, it was being fitted. A couple of measurements didn't add up (despite him coming to measure up) and as a result we lost out on worktop space and had to adjust margins and units so that it would fit together and also to make it so we could even open the door to the integrated dishwasher! The breakfast bar when arrived was damaged up both sides had to wait another week to get a new one then to call our fitter back out to finish the job which cost us more time and money. Wickes said they do checks and this stuff happens, which I understand but apparently this was all my fault for not checking everything when it arrived despite the breakfast bar being at the very bottom of the pile when it all got delivered I was expected to move over 30 heavy boxes to lift everything off, then open all boxes and packaging and check everything - my bad. There was a missing back panel which was on the design, which Wickes tried to charge us for when we called them to say it was missing, despite them showing it on the final printed design and we had asked them to put that into the order to finish off the kitchen but they ended up sending it as a 'good will gesture' instead. I have called 3 times to speak to the manager John, he has said on 2 occasions that he will call me back after speaking to the design consultant responsible and both times I have heard nothing. I have never in my life experienced such poor customer service from any company and someone that doesn't even admit fault due to a poor design that quite simply did not work. Absolutely appalled.”

“Disgusting after sales purchased some… Disgusting after sales purchased some bathroom accessories, within 10 months they are going rusty, website Staes 1 year warranty so I thought no problem and returned them, only to be told if I read the small print Wickes only give 30 days yes 30 days warranty on products which are not their own brand and its up to the customer to sort it out with the manufacturer. Buyer beware !!!”

“Ordered some doors from Wickes, took a morning off work for the delivery (as they don't deliver these doors on a Saturday) and completely the wrong doors were delivered. When I called to have the correct doors delivered, Wickes advised that one of the doors I wanted was now out of stock. The whole thing has been a complete waste of time. Spend your time, effort and money elsewhere.”

“I bought a shed from forest garden through wickes. The shed arrived severely damaged. Two broken side panels and there was nails missing from 6 floor boards that secure them to the bottom braces. As it was only a 6x4ft shed it felt like the majority of the shed was damaged and poorly constructed. It took 2weeks for the shed to arrive and it'll take a further 14days for the shed to be returned and a refund issued. Unacceptable wickes and forest.”

“Not helpful at all the attitude I was shown if you want buy otherwise go! Kept telling this is not my part of area and the other one came we don’t sell bathroom staff you need to buy it from them when they are here, delivery has to be delivered twice not at once, we bought lots of staff they didn’t even remember to charge I had to ask did you charge me for this? It is not even once it is 3 times, and I bought almost 700 pounds staff and they said they don’t have so many staff to sell so we had to go B&Q”

“I would give 0 stars if an option. Totally disgusted with service. Didn't arrive when should have, work started a week late than agreed, which they had months notification for, and We had already ripped out our old kitchen ready for them, so We had to eat out every night, as no cooking facilities. Then after a week, fitters went on a weeks holiday. We had wrong and damaged items delivered. Kitchen doors bubbling and have been told that it is my fault, spent thousands on this kitchen which I have waited to afford for many many years, now so disappointed and hate it, been told I have to live with it or replace doors myself. Also now found out that when purchased they were supposedly in a sale, but they had the prices increased anyway. They said I could take to omnibus if I want, but I just can't go through all the problems with them again, Caused me and my husband so much stress and worry, and now total dissapointment. Wickes don't care, take your money and not intereseted in further problems.”

“Ordered 69 bags of ready mixed concrete from Wickes - supposed to be delivered by Wickes Macclesfield - I was told it would come on Monday and had the day off work to wait in. At 3.30pm I was phoned and told it wasn't going to be delivered. Then I was told it would be delivered Friday. Had another day off work to wait in. Again I was phoned and told it wasn't going to be delivered! In the end I had to make four trips to Wickes Macclesfield in my car and pick up the bags of concrete. The next day when I came to use the concrete the product quality was poor as some of the bags had leaked and there was large pieces of set concrete in the bags. I will never order anything to be delivered from Wickes again. I also think the quality is sliding downwards! Sad really.”

“You deliver glass door that were covered in scratches UNDER the plastic- with instructions not to take plastic off till hung. We paid to have them hung, and after three weeks of constant complaints to your 'customer services' you agree to replace them. BUT only if the old door were taken off and returned at the same time. Because you can't guarantee that the replacements are perfect our joiner won't come on 'the off chance' there's a job. You insisted we take doors off (my husband is retired and injured his back in the process) and we now have two dogs, no internal doors and one injured husband. Your offer of £70 as 'goodwill' is beyond belief. Oh yes and we're nearly £400 poorer. You really don't deserve to be trading. And have no solution apparently- nor care.”

“Shocking service , was assured on Sunday by wicke s Chorley branch our off the shelf kitchen would arrive tuesday . Text sent Tuesday saying order arriving 12pm -6pm 6 15 three items arrived. After several phone calls the next day as to where the rest of our kitchen was we were told once the order has been sent it’s not they re responsibility any more . After taking the day off work having a kitchen fitter due the next day with no communication to say our order wouldn’t be arriving we were then told to look at terms & conditions where it states if they say an order would come on a day it may not .None of this pointed out at the time we were assured our order would come .Then to add insult to injury we were offered £15.00 compensation.What a joke”

“What a absolutely appalling company, I would give 0 stars but you can't! 🤔 Order not delivered, but received a txt saying it had been and signed for, totally wrong and fraud signing, customer service, what a joke, they haven't got a clue, avoid at all costs, pay extra from a different company if you have too, avoid, avoid, never ever again will I even step foot in their shop or order online, even if my life depended on it. It's cost us dearly... Very upsetting.”

“We had a bathroom fitted by Wickes in April. Went into store and had it designed on a computer. This was after the person in the store came around to do a survey, and measure up. It all seemed very good...until it got fitted. Some items ordered, and a towel rail just didn’t fit. They were never going to fit, yet we had a survey from not only the Wickes staff member, but the fitter, also. If the towel rail had been where it was suppose to be then you would have scalded your leg every time you used the toilet. Of course... Wickes blame the fitter, and the fitter blames Wickes! The fitting was poor and lacked finesse, and attention to detail. This was mainly due to the tiler who decided to bodge the trim, not finish a HUGE step up into the bathroom. He fitted a broken tile, and grouted it in? We had 3 spare boxes! He missed parts of the grouting, both on the floor and walls, so some tiles were filled other bits were not. Grout splashes left over shower, bath, taps. Chipped floor tile, but of course this was put down and grouted in. It took a moan to the boss who came and rectified the problems. Still, however, it’s not as we had hoped. Oh, and Grey silicone was asked for, and there’s just Black silicone everywhere. Apart from that, it’s ok. I wouldn’t bother with Wickes. It’s not worth the money or bother. If you must go to them, buy the stuff yourself (for goodness sake measure and plan it yourself) and get your own fitter.”

“We have contacted Wickes repeatedly about cracked bathroom tiles in the two bathrooms installed by Wickes, but have never had a response. We will need to employ a tiler to replace some of the tiles. A few days ago the shower pump connector installed by Wickes came off the pump sending water everywhere and ruining the ceiling below. We called a plumber who has just told us that anti-vibration connectors should have been used on the pump and were not. So yet more expense and wasted time dealing with shoddy Wickes installation. I definitely would not recommend Wickes.”

“Well I wish I could say good things about Wickes kitchen but unfortunately we had a bad experience purely because the installation! Everything was going well, quick on the right direction until started the removal of the old kitchen to the installation. What a nightmare so just for you have and idea to keep it short me and my family ended with a new kitchen which looks like second hand kitchen like was took from somebody else house and put on mine full of holes on the units, not in level and à damage floor and much more it was over a month with stress and the supervisor of the kitchen installation didn’t care and never bothered como come have look and his answer was well it’s better then was! We thought paying for installation for wickes would save us time and stress but now we regretted it.”

“APPALLING service - I ordered click and collect, Wickes took the money, website crashed on confirmtion page. They ADMIT they took my money and didn't provide any products but refuse to refund because 'we don't have an order number'. Customer services line just fobs you off, the facebook page asks for DM then ignores it. Lost £70. NEVER AGAIN”
