Dreadful customer service. I have been waiting 3 weeks for items to be picked up and they still do not get back to me!!! Will never shop Homebase again!

Tracey and Jim in your Barnstaple store were engaging and vey helpful. We got good advice and a first class service. Would definitely return in the future
Shower shopping
We came to the store to order our shower unit. The store was well laid out and clean. We were met by Jim who took us through everything we needed. Very informative, helpful and professional salesperson. This is the second time we have visited the store and both experiences have been great.
Broken promises
The last review I wrote regarding Homebase was about their excellent service regarding buying a kitchen from them. All was well and brilliant until 13th July 2024 when the appliance company used by Homebase was to deliver our appliances. They didn’t deliver ( I have reviews them in a separate review as I’m so unhappy with their service), saying they had a shortage of staff. Roll on to 20th July 2024. Appliance delivery company rearranged delivery for the 20th July 2024. Once again they didn’t deliver but this time said it was because Homebase didn’t pay them for the items.
Getting very fed up with Homebase and ao passing the buck leaving me without an oven or fridge freezer yet again……….

Kitchen Design & Supply
We have recently had a new Kitchen and Utility Room from Homebase, Barnstaple. Top praise has to be to the wonderful Carolyn Smaldon - she went above and beyond to ensure we got the kitchen we wanted. Nothing was too much trouble and she was happy to consider our quirky ideas and find a solution to enable them to be incorporated into our design. We are thrilled with our Country Living units and worktops and highly recommend a visit to Carolyn - you won’t be disappointed!!
