The men who were working the New Years day shift in the Barnstaple branch were creepy. They watched my wife and daughter go to the toilet and proceeded to report this back to their colleagues, it was creepy and not a nice atmosphere. They weren't aware that I was with them so I heard what they said. The older members of staff didn't bring the younger man into line, it was not a nice atmosphere for women and unfortunately put a bad mark against this firm

I still have not had my bathroom fixed. I have not had a date for them to come and fix it. They have sent me one bit around the bath told me to choose tiles which I did ,but I have still not had the tiles this has been going on and I’ve not been able to use my bathroom for seven months now They’ve asked me to get quotes. I got quotes. They then took so long to get back to me, then they said I had to get more quotes because the tiles I originally had are out of stock, but I can’t get anyone to come back to give me quotes because Wicks took so long to get back to me the first time The companies have lost interest in me. I have told Wick I want them to come and fix my bathroom, but this is still not happened and I have not had a date of when they can fix it. I am a single parent and I need my bathroom which I paid very good money for .This is why we should not use big companies because you do not get the customer care you should do 😡so please everyone do not use wicks and make sure you go to local family companies.

Sophie was great. She arrived on time and we discussed my kitchen needs and requirements. I am looking forward to seeing my kitchen design.

Paid £205 for some architrave,skirting boards and 3sheets of hardboard for a bathroom job,one sheet of hardboard turned up 4 hours after the time I received a txt saying its next on the delivery,I thought B&Q was bad but this experience takes the biscuit big time,I can promise I will never ever use wickes again,I’ve never witnessed such utter stupidity before in my life….AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Colleague was very helpful assisting me to find the items that I wanted, took me to area that he thought it would be in to ensure I got what I needed when he wasn't 100% sure where it was, and directed me to lines that he knew the location of. Made visit simple.

I would just like to personally thank Matt at the Barnstaple store for his help this afternoon.
I first asked Matt about where the drill accessories where ( even though he was busy he still came and helped) Matt said the drill that I had was perfectly fine but an impact drill would be perfect. I looked and you currently didn't have the Wicks one and the others were more expensive then I could afford.
I proceeded to the till where Matt was now. He went out the back and picked up the combie drill, then cleaned it as it was full of dust. I told Matt the impact drill was out of stock he then went out the back and said that the Einhell was a better range and had two impact drill anymore the price was £99 instead of £156. Absolute bargain.
Matt was very helpful and didn't make me feel stupid by asking questions which I have had in the past from another very well know DIY business.
All the staff at Barnstaple Wicks need a huge well done and thank you as they all work so hard and are always busy.

Called today for some decking boards.
The yard man was great, really friendly and helpful.
Didn't get his name but the lady on the till said it was Stu.
Well done.

We had a expensive kitchen floor supplied and fitted by wickes, we have tried all ways to get a site manager to look at the floor over the last year with very little luck! In 4 different areas of the kitchen/utility the slats have lifted, it's getting worse, the issue is 1 slat had not been clicked into place and it's messing up the rest of the floor over time, my dog cut her paw pad on one of the lifted slats and we can not go bare foot, I have sent several emails, made numerous phone calls still with no luck! I had a site visit twice the first time I was called to a emergency but did not have a phone number to call to cancel, the 2nd site visit, I was in, she arrived and just stood at the door (seen on ring doorbell camera) she did not knock as my dogs would have barked, she did not call my mobile, she stood for couple mins and left, I've tried making a complaint once again no response, we are furious that we have spent hard earned money on this expensive, poorly fitted flooring!
Hi Dylan can you message me another way as I can't see/find my private messages on trustpilot, thanks.

Thank you so much, my bathroom looks amazing.
Please let Carls boss know that he is very reliable, excellent at his job, his attention to detail is spot on, nothing is too difficult for him, has amazing customer care and support, would have him here anytime.
Also I would go to Wicks Barnstaple for all my needs as the customer service from the designer Jan, is above and beyond.
Thank you

So I said to myself, no way will we find any organic farmyard manure here in Barnstaple …….. how wrong! 103 bags of Levingtons. Yay. In I go - nice smiley welcome from a young man at the till ……. he reminds me of their 3 for 2 deal, then comes out and loads a dozen bags onto my trailer ( I’m getting on a bit so that assistance was very gratefully received) all the while cheerful and chatty. Result. Big shout out for Ryan - thanks mate.
