Had to go into showroom to order a worktop as couldn't do this online. Showed "designer" sample who said she had to order it. Difficult to get delivery, when it arrived it was the wrong one (unfortunately it arrived at 7.20 am and we didn't check it as carefully as we should have as we had two small granddaughters to look after) - completely different from one we wanted to order. We are now trying to get them to collect this having had to go and buy a different one from B & Q (where the... (read more)

The product looked OK on the web-site and the promise to deliver it on the following Saturday, ahead of the Easter break, for an extra £5 sounded good value, unfortunately having waited in all day nothing arrived. Despite providing contact details to help keep us informed of the delivery we've heard nothing. I rang the help line but they couldn't contact the couriers but assured me that when deliveries are delayed they refund the £5 paid for the faster service. Not the sort of business... (read more)

I brought a Shower for Wickes. The shower after a few months had a faulty temperature control. I went down to my local Wickes and instead of saying you must contact the manufacturer, they took my name and number and sent an engineer to fix it. I cannot fault the service and the price and quality of the items are good. I would recommend waiting around August time as they normally do a 50% sale and then another 25% on top. I saved £1600 on my shower at the time. (read more)
