It started off so well, then went downhill

It started off so well: we had a home consultation with Billy who appeared to take note of all we said. Primarily, we wanted to modify our quite small, inefficiently designed, bathroom and make it appear bigger. Then we had an in-store presentation which gave us a lot of information. Afterwards I realised one of the proposals would simply not work and that's when things went downhill. Instead of simply working on my email, another meeting would be necessary and it was so difficult to schedule a date. Weeks went by and the meeting was then further postponed. In that same timeframe, we researched reviews on Wickes and concluded we really should not do business with the company. We've wasted a lot of time and effort, but thankfully, we haven't invested any money. We're now liaising with another company.

Good initial appointment, no contact after!

We had a great meeting with a chap called Billy at Bedford branch, we were happy with what had been offered and except for a couple of details were happy to proceed, that was on Saturday 28th Feb, it is now Saturday 7th March and we still have not hear from anyone (B&Q responded the day after our initial appointment with them)
Disappointing to not hear from your team, off to Wren Kitchens this afternoon!

Really straight forward and easy, would recomend .

From the very moment we went to Wickes about getting a Kitchen, we have been pleased.
Our designer Mr Billy Wood has been amazing.
He came round to measure up and talk about what we wanted. We felt at ease, he was friendly, very knowledgeable, professional and approachable.
He listend to our remit and designed our perfect kitchen....he really listened to what we had to say. Suggesting one or two things that we went with. It has been such a pleasure having him work for us on our kitchen. He's has been fabulous, not pushy. He just wanted to do the best job for us as customers ( as we think he does for everyone ) A very nice young man and a credit to the Wickes team.
Our kitchen is ALMOST completed and we've been so excited at every stage.
We got our own fitters who've done an awesome job.
Thank you so much Billy Wood. 10* treatment.

Listened to our needs

Charlie was not the first designer we’d had to our bathroom, but he beat the others in that he listened carefully to our needs and was attentive throughout. We have to wait and see the plan but he understands what we want.

Great first meeting

We had a great first meeting with Billy. We had a few ideas about our plans for our new bathroom but Billy was great so enthusiastic about our ideas and also had good ideas to add he really understood what we were aiming for. We are very much looking forward to seeing what he puts together for us as a completed design.

I've been a Wickes customer for decades…

I've been a Wickes customer for decades but over the past year, I've been involved in a few more projects, so I've had cause to shop at Wickes for all and any of my tools and other trade accessories and have noticed that the customer service at Wickes Bedford has really developed.
So much so that I was compelled to provide this review as I've had such great customer service from the staff that I've actually come to know, and they me.
If I'm stuck on anything, I know that staff like James Mac, the other two James, Kirsty, Sharea and Julie will always go out of their way to help me find exactly what I'm looking for.
They always go that extra mile which leaves me with such a positive experience that I feel I need to share it.
Well done all the Bedford Wickes staff, you're a credit to the company, so please keep up the great service.

Cheerful helpful staff at this branch.

Cheerful helpful staff helped me in store locating items and opening a sealed bulk pack of timber to break down into smaller quantity I needed. At checkout Dawn on the checkout desk was particularly cheerful and recognised me and greeted me warmly as a returning customer on my way in. She dealt with the queue politely and efficiently and it was a pleasure to be served.
