Kitchen design

Had our kitchen designed by Katrina at Christchurch and we are so pleased with the planning and specific features she put in to suit us and make our kitchen special. Also pleased with David the fitter who worked so hard to achieve an excellent finish. The support was also available to us at any time.

We are really disappointed with Wickes

We are really disappointed with Wickes, had them out for design of our bathroom which was fine. Follow up appointment was also fine selecting the goods we wanted. 3 hours later given a price which again was fine, advised the best way to move forward was with finance with a 20% deposit which we were happy with. Finance was declined, so hence the whole amount including fitting had to be paid up front, even though there was five months to wait. Sorry no, we would have no come back if back as no guarantee of workmanship or delivery.
Basically then they didn’t want to know us and destroyed all of our choices from the folder, definitely won’t be returning. This bathroom was over £15000 which we didn’t need finance for, but also didn’t want to pay full amount up front with no guarantee.

Good quality that lasts

We've had our kitchen and shower rooms designed and installed, as well as purchased a number of individual inits. The design service has been excellent and the products have lasted well. Will use them for future projects.

Only £4 delivery on everything any size

Bought some bulky timber today and delivery was only £4. Also their website was not crammed full of products they dont stock like B&Q, where i can never find what is actually in their shop so I now never visit.
Since switching to Wickes have never had a problem and it is usually cheaper. Never usually leave a review but am damned impressed

Thank you Matt Burridge for excellent service

The service Matt Burridge gave me was really so good. He was polite, attentive, helpful, friendly, honest... all one could need. He made every effort to go the extra mile to help a customer, even measuring the height of my old (broken and rusty) ladder for comparison. Thank you very much Matt!

Professional and knowledgeable designer

Paul Roberts designed our amazing Wickes kitchen 2 years ago. We were lucky enough to get him back to design our bathroom. He is great at thinking outside the box and has come up trumps again by designing our bathroom exactly how I want it. His knowledge at looking at our space and sizings is spot on and very professional. I am looking forward to seeing the end product.

Exceptional service from Charmaine

I highly recommend Charmaine at the Christchurch branch for her exceptional service. Although we were unable to proceed with our kitchen purchase due to financing, the support she provided was outstanding.
Charmaine visited our home to get a true feel for the space and spent a great deal of time helping us plan the layout. She was incredibly patient while guiding us through various fittings and finishes, ensuring every detail met our requirements. Her expertise made a daunting process feel simple and we are very grateful for her professional, friendly approach.

Louise kitchen design

Louise has done our kitchen design. We were happy from her first visit in our flat. She listened our ideas and tried to make it them happen as many as possible. If there was a problem she gave us other ideas and advice . She has done first design very quickly and we were very happy with it. At second appointment in store Louise answered all our questions and made some alterations we did not spoke at first visit. Louise also offered us that when we start fitting new kitchens in the future, she can help if there is any problems. So far we are very happy.

Lou at Wickes Christchurch helped tremendously designing our new kitchen and bathroom.
Lou is very knowledgable regarding the products available and made good suggestions throughout the process.
She was very patient with us when changes and revisions were suggested.
Lou made a home visit to check out dimensions and provide good ideas for the design.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lou at Wickes Christchurch to family and friends who are considering a new kitchen or bathroom.

Kitchen Design and Purchase

We had been to a few other kitchen showrooms first. One was very attentive and the second didn't seem overly bothered about assisting us with a design and potential purchase of a kitchen. Our last port of call for the day was Wickes (Christchurch). We asked if we could book an appointment for a design and although there wasn't much time left in the day, a very friendly lady (Charmaine) offered to help there and then. Charmaine was very attentive and listened to what we wanted and designed accordingly. She was not pushy at all and showed us all options from cheaper to more expensive without any motive of trying to make more from us. We left happy with a design and approximate price. Later in the week Charmaine came to our property to check the measurements we provided and was happy that the design would work, which it did with a few tweaks. We then returned on the 9th to finalise and make any last minute adjustments. After going through the payment options we picked the one that felt right to us and purchased the kitchen. Throughout the entire process Charmaine was friendly, professional and not at all pushy and we would not hesitate to refer Wickes Christchurch/Charmaine to anyone looking for a new kitchen.
