I went to get paint today and I was SO impressed by the excellent service I received from the paint department. The guy behind the desk was so helpful and helped identify the paint I needed for my hallway. I needed to do some touching up but the original tin didn’t have the colour. Another guy helped me to get all the materials needed to paint the outside of my house.
I fet like i had two personal shoppers.
Two very helpful and conscientious men. Thank you to them both

Found a mower that was out of stock apart from the display model . Which I was prepared to buy. Was told policy is not to sell off the floor. My loss and yours. Mower was your own brand 1200 model. Not available on line,so presumed to be discontinued.

Excellent Customer Service

Spoke to two really helpful members of the Broadstairs team who helped arrange the reservation and purchase of doors that online were out of stock, but a couple left at this location. Francesca and Melanie - thank you.

5 Star from Stef

I went into my local Homebase store in Broadstairs Kent looking for a colour paint I had seen on their website.
A shop assistant named ‘Stef asked if I needed any help I told him the brand and the colour of paint I was looking for which they had but only in a large tin and I wanted a smaller size, he suggested that he could mix up the colour paint I wanted for me in a smaller tin which he did. He also ‘up sold’ me some plastic dust sheets, he was really really helpful so I think he needs a big thanks and a mention as his customer service was 5*****.

The employee Charley at the Broadstairs…

The employee Charley at the Broadstairs Kent branch may benefit from further development in customer service skills.
It seems she is not fully engaged in her role and may need support in improving her interactions with customers.
During a recent visit, she was perceived as being somewhat dismissive and unhelpful when asked about product availability.
Fortunately, another staff member was able to locate the item that Charley had initially said was out of stock.
Additionally, there were challenges with the click and collect process, as one young man seemed unsure of how to proceed and did not follow up on getting assistance as promised and walked off.
Overall, there are opportunities for improvement in the customer service and operational effectiveness at this branch.
