Not great when collecting my item I wasn’t asked for any ID when I asked if they wanted to see my ID I was told by the assistant I don’t care who collects it, I’m not your personal shopper. Not great when I have spent £150 on an item!!

Kitchen Design

Ashley visited our home from Chatham store to design our new kitchen. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and made the process very easy. We then visited the store a couple of days later to review the plan and obtain the quotation. We would highly recommend Ashley and she is a credit to Homebase.

Dried out plants & rude staff

I went to buy some winter flowering plants today from the Chatham store as I was told they had what I wanted. The plants hadn't been watered for goodness knows how long & were so dry they were loose in the pots. If you want to sell plants, you need to water them !!! I did mention to a member of staff that the plants needed watering but was met with a stoney silence.
Staff training may need updating!

Why do you overthink things

Why do you overthink these things. It wasn't a great experience. I ordered something you got it ready and I collected it. It forfilled the requirements of the contract. Nothing to get excited about.

We went to Homebase in Chatham

We went to Homebase in Chatham, not even realising they sold kitchens. We were greeted by a lovely young lady named Ashley. She gave us so much information and helped us to design an amazing kitchen. I can be quite particular and nothing was too much for her. She thought of things we could do that we didn’t think were possible. I now have a completed kitchen that is amazing. This is the 3rd kitchen I’ve replaced now and I have to say the quality of the units and doors is the best one I’ve ever had. Ashley thought of absolutely everything and added some amazing features for us. The detail in the design was superb and I now love showing it off to my friends. The units are very solid and easy to assemble. I would thoroughly recommend the store in Chatham and Homebase kitchens as a whole.

Your customer service lady was rude

Your customer service lady was rude . I was then handed a very dusty item that I had paid for. I had to rub the dust off before leaving the store to ensure the item was not damaged. There was no box
