Ordered a trade professional ladder on 16/03/24 from the Bolton branch. The ladder is not stored at the branch but is ordered and delivered direct to the customer. When i understood the situation I was reluctant to place the order. Once these people have your money they don't care about fulfilling their commitments. I have a bad experience when I ordered some windows. I was told two weeks for the order to be completed. They then informed me they had to make them and they turned up seven weeks later! Back to the ladder. I received emails confirming the order and informed by the courier the ladder would be delivered Tuesday the 19th March. I booked time off work, waited for 12 hours for a delivery that never happened! The tracking shows it's come from Bristol to Haydock and was out for delivery. i suggest it's a pack of lies. I've lost money by not working on the Tuesday and now no one will be in to take delivery for the next two weeks! I will have to go and buy another ladder from somewhere else to get the job finished and I've not received a text, email or phone call to inform me where the ladder really is. This has cost me a lot. If i'ts in store and it's what you want buy it, but if it's an order go somewhere else. No more orders from me!

Installation started over 2 weeks late. Took 6 weeks to complete & then Wickes approved installer VS had to return to put right 5 issues found. 5 extra packs of tiles used to complete job. Installer worked half days not the full & will work ‘just on yours until completed’ as promised. Took 2 weeks holiday to cover installation & started 2 weeks late. Had to juggle work so someone was at home for the following 6 weeks it took to complete. Wickes manager came twice to check on installer. Never asked our opinion of installation or queried time taken to carry out installation. Incorrect shower diverter installed. Informed correct one no longer available although still in Wickes catalogue. No hippo bag provided for removed bathroom until week 5. Remove bathroom blocked driveway. Customer services not interested in time taken to complete or all the issues that had occured during that time. Gave me refund for diverter & tiles + £200. They are not interested in the poor time keeping or lack of communication. All issues backed up with photos, receipts etc. DO NOT USE THIS WICKES! Keep your sanity & go elsewhere.

Don't waste your money, go elsewhere for your kitchen/bathroom! Product is good but their installers and customer service are beyond dreadful. Botched the installation of our kitchen. Left with a kitchen nightmare rather than our dream. This company takes no responsibility for their mistakes. Process started 2022 and is still on going in 2024. They have NO IDEA how to deal with customers (when you can actually get to communicate with someone that is!)

Worst company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. Sales people gave spurious advice costing us time and money. Installers were totally incompetent. The bathroom was handed over to me dirty and dusty; with a long list of faults, too many to mention here. They sent the installers back to sort out problems but they caused more, including damage to my property. Forced to go through external mediation because other than standard email responses they wouldn’t answer my complaints, despite contacting them at all levels of their organisation. Once I had paid (in advance) they couldn't care less. Utterly useless and unprofessional company, and I will never have them in my house again. If I could give a minus score I would!

We purchased a complete bathroom from Wickes for installation in early October. The design stage of the process was very good, they assisted us in creating a bathroom layout that we were very happy with and had CAD renderings so we could se how the bathroom would look. They said the work would take two weeks to complete and found a fitter who would complete the work for us. The work started late as the fitters previous job had overrun. The building work started well however during the replastering work the toilet was removed and replaced incorrectly leading to a large leak which flooded the kitchen below. To make matters worse we were away overnight when the leak occurred so came back at mid-day the next day to find the kitchen awash with water. I contacted Wickes customer service team in relation to the leak that occurred but they were unhelpful saying that we would have to contact the fitter to rectify the issue and provided no further assistance. During the next stage of the installation we had two more leaks, this time from the shower/tub, resulting in another flood in the kitchen which caused significant damage to the kitchen ceiling. Once again Wickes customer service team were unhelpful and said we would have to resolve the issue ourselves with the fitter. Thankfully the fitter took responsibility for the leaks and we are now expecting them to replace our kitchen ceiling in the New Year at their own cost. The bathroom is still not fully completed after three months. Additionally the final fit of the bathroom components was very poor. The bath panels did not fit correctly and the shower screen leaked. There were many other small issues that really affected the finish of the bathroom. Once again we contacted Wickes customer service to resolve but we still have not heard back and have resigned ourselves that we will have to source and fit replacement parts ourselves at our own cost. At one point Wickes did respond to is, but they had incorrectly sent an email to us in response to someone else's complaints! Even after this they did not send a response to our query , simply an email saying "sorry that email wasn't intended for you". Clearly we're not the only ones having issues. Given it's been nearly three months since the work started and we still don't have a finished bathroom and have been unable to get a response from Wickes we would definitely not recommend anyone using their design and fitting service.

Terrible customer service We placed the order on the 16/7/23 at Wickes, Waltham Cross. We were told that it would take 8-10 working days to complete kitchen install. The install was booked for 23/10 with delivery of kitchen booked 17/10. The kitchen delivery was cancelled on the due date with no explanation, and re-booked 21/10. The installers asked if they could start on 20 October to remove old kitchen. The kitchen was removed and placed in our front garden, was due to be collected 23/10. This collection was cancelled due to cost, and sat outside the front of our house until 27/10. We could not get into our rubbish bins and missed collection of household refuse. When the old kitchen was finally collected, the van sent was not large enough to clear it, so we still had a large amount at the front until this was collected nearly a week later. 26/10 fitters informed us there were items missing from delivery, and also damaged items. They were re-ordered to be delivered 3/11 but not fitted until the fitter could fit in visit to do this. Template measurements for the worktops were booked for 1/11 but received a phone call on 30/10 to say it had not been booked, and would have to wait until 7/11. We knew that from date of templating until actual installation could be up to 10 days. This meant we were going to be without proper worktops for a week longer than expected. On 1/11, a rep from Marble Building Products arrived to start the templating even though we had been told that this date was cancelled. We were not ready and had to rush around removing everything from worktops. We were in as this was our lunch break, otherwise he would not of been able to gain access. On 10/11 the fitters removed temp worktops, tap and hob in prep for install of worktops. Work surface fitters arrived and brought all four worktops in. It was clear that the main length of worktop for sink and drainer had been measured incorrectly by nearly 1 inch. After consulting with office, it was decided that 3 worktops in the cooking area had to be returned to the factory, so the main sink section could be remade with the correct measurements. The kitchen fitters had to refit all the temp worktops, tap and hob. When delivery of missing and damaged parts arrived there were still items missing. The fitters then re-ordered them for the third time and we still had cupboards that were unusable. After a phone call to Wickes Customer Experience Centre, I was advised to email any further issues/complaints and to say that it was an official complaint. It was at this point in our emails that we did this. Also, when we were quoted for the installation at Wickes it was not made clear that the dry fit was not the total installation cost. This turned out to be another £3000 extra paid directly to the installers. 17/11 the work surface installers scheduled to arrive between 8am - - 10am. Kitchen installer arrived at 7.30am to remove temp worktops, hob and tap. He left to go to another job. When they had not arrived by 10am we rang the company to be told, actual appointment was between 10am -2pm. Had to inform kitchen fitters this so they did not waste their time returning until they had been fitted. When installed it was too late for kitchen installers to return that day so we were without water and hob in kitchen that evening. The installer returned the following morning to re-fit tap and hob but could not commence with the tiling due to other work commitments. He did not return until the 27/11 and spent the next two days tiling and completing the install of the missing parts that had arrived. On 2/12, removed the plastic protection from the kitchen doors to find damaged drawer front. Contacted customer experience that day and new part was ordered, this arrived on 6/12. We opened the package before asking the fitter to re-fit part, the wrong part had been ordered. Partner had to contact them again to re-order the correct part which arrived few days later. Fortunately, our fitters who throughout the process have been nothing but amazing agreed to return to swap the part over even though the job had been closed off.Overall, install has taken over 8 weeks and we have received dreadful customer service throughout which we feel justified to request adequate compensation. Wickes have offered us a full and final offer of £325, which is pitiful when you think that the kitchen has cost us in total £26,000 including the £3000 paid directly to the kitchen installers. Not only this, it has been extremely stressful and we have had to take annual leave at short notice which is not easy for either of us and spend money on takeaways that we did not need to.

Don't use EVER Awful to deal with ! Wrong item delivered but as my joiner didn't start until after the 30ish returns they don't want to know !!! Be warned they have a zero people skill and will not admit to their ineptness ! And even after exhaling what had happened they still said the same things, I'm glad you outsourced your customer service it's reaped dividends for the sake of a £34 swap Date of experience: 02 September 2023 Don’t use the website for sales

Placed an order online to the value of £85 so that I got free delivery, one of the items I ordered was damaged so I refused to accept it, they have now taken £7 delivery cjharge from my refund even though I asked for a replacement item, they chose not to replace and only offered a refund. Seems like a sham to get extra money from customers. Complained but so far got nowhere. Won't be going to Wickes again.

Words fail me. Never use them to install anything. They use shoddy contractors and take no responsibility. 5 months down the line they respond after I start court proceedings.

I wish I had read all the Wickes reviews before embarking on a new kitchen. The Designer was excellent and we could not fault her. However, from then on it was a horrible experience. What should have been a two week job has finally been finished after nine weeks. We are not completely happy with the finished result but could not cope with having the installer in the house any longer. The installer always arrived late, didn't turn up every day and often promised to come on a certain day or a certain time and then cancelled. He was obviously doing other jobs at the same time as our kitchen. Customer Experience Centre were fairly unhelpful. They were always very sympathetic to the problems but never actually did much to solve them and rarely called back unless they were constantly rung or emailed. The Managers that got involved called on a couple of occasions and then lost interest. No contact has been received by anybody for the last 2 weeks to check on how the job was progressing, or even completed despite being assured that I would be contacted. I will not be recommending Wickes to anybody and would suggest that they review their new customer experience service and review how the installers are appointed.

Don’t ever use Wickes I had a Wet Room installed about 2 years ago during Covid, I was going through a difficult time with in my family and got married however I did contact wickes within the guarantee period I complained to Wickes due to poor tiling in my bathroom and I have even gone to the Furniture Ombudsman and Won I am a year on and they still haven’t resolved my complaint, they offered me £2000 to retile 2 walls as they couldn’t find a fitter to rectify the work , but it is a wet room so the likelihood the whole bathroom would need to be retiled and I would be out of picket when I paid £10k for my Wet Room, they don’t listen. How can you pluck a figure of 2k out of the air the tiles I ordered were discontinued and they are saying it is cosmetic well yes it maybe cosmetic but looking at a Wet Room when none of the edges like up, the pigeon holes in the walls are not straight and hold water, the tiles are chipped because they wasn’t cut probley surely this is a simple job for qualified bathroom fitters? Wickes also said that I had lived with it for nearly 2 years well sorry Wickes for going through a difficult and happy period in my life and I explained why I didn’t contact them sooner, although I was within the guarantee period, I have tried to contact CEO but no reply so my next step is to take legal action , the best thing is they admitted the work wasn’t up to standard and was poor, the black paint have come off the shower and plug hole , don’t ever use them honestly go else where the finish on my bathroom is terrible and I have had 3 people come out from Wickes and I even had the tiler who carried out the work come out and they all said it was poor work and wasn’t acceptable. Also Wickes were on the one show because of the above issues poor workmanship and poor service

My parents are in their mid seventies and purchased a kitchen from their local Wickes. Six weeks after the first agreed delivery date and 3+ failed deliveries they are still waiting. Wickes customer services number takes over an hour to get through to and then they fob you off with its a logistics issue that sits with a third party not with Wickes. Honestly avoid Wickes and go to another supplier it will save you a load of stress.

Ordered £560 worth of kitchen cabinets only for the wrong item to be delivered. Wickes are refusing to pay a refund, six weeks later despite constant chasing. Wickes seem unbothered around consumer trading laws which require refund within 30 days of non-delivery, and specify that refund is not contingent on the return of the goods. Of course, that wouldn't matter as they were collected weeks ago (despite messing us around with two incorrect collection dates). Constantly being told this is their 'internal process' being followed, which seems irrelevant when they are clearly in breach of the law. Would give 0 stars if possible

Wickes initially priced our kitchen fitting, the final fitting costs were twice as much. The fitters were rude and unreliable, left us without a kitchen for months as opposed to the promise week to 10 days. They did not even finish a third of the kitchen and are nowhere to be seen. The portions which they did finish had poor finishing touches and were missing some pieces.

I had a shower room designed and installed by Wicks .From the design and installation it went perfectly I was so pleased with the final result .All the units arrived on time. The installers were perfect .

Please beware of spending anything significant amount with Wickes if you need any form of customer assistance you’ll be left on your own, I own bought a few items which I needed to return my receipt had blown away as I was carrying the items to car but I paid with Apple Pay and could show the store my transaction but they did want to know, Spoke to someone at the Caerphilly store who said he was the manager but clearly wasn’t and then found out the manger was there but conveniently in meeting. I would have been happy with credit voucher or something I didn’t expect a refund but they could be less interested. Tried to call customer services whilst at the store and numerous times since but no one answers, emailed their customer service but they don’t come back either. They clearly have no customer care whatsoever thankfully it wasn’t an expensive item like a kitchen i bought.
