Wickes Christchurch are dreadful

Wickes Christchurch are dreadful. We have just had a terrible experience with their kitchen design and installation team. The design was highly inaccurate from Katrina (for example the sink and integrated bins did not fit under the selected worktop), the timescales they promise are never met (we were four months late), the manager Chris tries to fob you off with sub-standard solutions to the problems they have created, and they took an inordinate amount of time to properly finish the project. Further there are hidden costs such as the installation (£1,400) that they did not make us aware of. And they are not good value compared to local kitchen contractors. The new kitchen was for an AirBnB and we missed the whole of the summer season for lettings. As compensation for the four month delay they offered £300. When I asked how they calculated this they referred to industry standards but after repeated requests they were unable to provide any detail. I would seriously recommend NOT using Wickes.

Katrina is the best of 5 different designers we visited

Last year, we went to the Christchurch branch and we were lucky enough to find Katrina available to design a kitchen for us. She did an amazing job, making meaningful and personal suggestions. She also made sure she kept an eye on the cost and told us about possible deals we could apply. We did shop around but Katrina's plan was by far the best we got. Things like making sure the crockery drawers are arranged so it's really easy to unload the dishwasher into them, the bins are positioned right under the counter where we make crumbs from toast/sandwiches and can sweep them straight in the bin. She also guided us to have fewer cabinets than we planned and she was right. It's made for a more spacious feeling kitchen and we still have plenty of storage (plus it saved us some money).

During the build, she (and her team) were super helpful as we had a couple of damaged items that needed replacing, which was done without a fuss.

We were so pleased, we went back just recently to ask Katrina to help us design our downstairs bathroom and again, she came up with a configuration we hadn't even considered but means we can have a larger shower than we thought we could and better storage solutions.

Katrina and the crew at Christchurch have been brilliant.

Excellent experience of kitchen revamp design

On a mission to revamp and extend our kitchen, we were very fortunate to meet Louise Ingram at wicks Christchurch. She immediately identified and related to our somewhat complex plan and with her professional excellence, knowledge of a product, sense of style, design and practicality, Louise produced the perfect design. Her ability to relate and listen to the customer is outstanding and every problem, Louise found the solution. Her customer care and interpersonal skills filled us with confidence and she is simply inspirational and lovely to work with. Our grateful thanks Louise and also to Wickes. The variety design, quality and options of your kitchens is exceptional.

Design service was awful

Had an appointment in the Christchurch branch to discuss designs. Products in the showroom looked good quality, the design service was not good quality. The agent seemed to rush and didn't fully listen to the items I wanted on the design, just adding bits and telling me she liked it. At the end of the appointment she said she would print the design but then changed her mind and said she would email it instead. The email still hasn't arrived weeks later! I went back to the shop to discuss this and ask for the design. The agent I spoke to advised they couldn't do anything or a new design, they emailed the original agent and asked her to send it through urgently, and we still don't have it. Such a shame the service is awful, as the products looked good. We have gone to other providers now who provided designs within hours of the appointment.

Lovely Kitchen

I needed a new kitchen and ended up at Wickes. My kitchen designer was called Louise Ingram. She came up with a lovely design and some different ideas. It is now fitted and we are very happy with it. Louise was very helpful along the way while it was being fitted and sorted out any problems along the way.
