Wickes Eastbourne Bathroom Design and…

Wickes Eastbourne Bathroom Design and Installation experience was 5-star from start to finish. Costly however well done. Robert Hicks, Design Consultant assigned Excell Installations to assess, modify and install the Wickes Wet Room. Excell assigned the Plasterers [Sid] and together exceptional workmanship, attention to detail; as well as consistent and reliable attendance ensued. Thank you Gentleman. Karen, our assigned Installation Experience Co-Ordinator was also helpful with exchanges and returns of Wickes products during the bathroom Installation. May I suggest acronyms, I.E.C. Team might serve you better, it’s a shorter title. Overall our Wickes Bathroom Installation experience was 5-Star. Thank you all.

Bath of my dreams

Wickes - Eastbourne. From the initial visit to going ahead with the bathroom, was a very seamless journey. Coco was absolutely brilliant she listened to my needs and delivered! From measuring up on the home visit to picking the best spa bath for my health condition and the finished design result was excellent. Her customer service was bang on and we are so excited to get this done now so we can start enjoying it. A***

New kitchen

We decided to bite the bullet and go for a new kitchen. I was dreading the mess and upheaval but Coco, our kitchen designer, put our minds at ease and listened to what we needed and wanted. She was also always on hand to answer any questions we had.

Lee the plasterer, Liam ‘the gas bloke’ and Richard and Ben the electricians, were all friendly, helpful, clean and tidy and I’d highly recommend them all.
Onto our kitchen fitters …… Clem and Michael Honorato. Simply the best! They always arrived early and worked their socks off until they went home. They were friendly, always listened to our questions, advised us when we weren’t too sure of things and updated us each day. Nothing was too much trouble and they went above and beyond for us.
Oh and Clem has a cheeky sense of humour. He needed it when I accidentally stood in his newly laid, wet cement! I honestly can’t praise them enough.
The only negative (and I hate to leave a negative) was that our new kitchen didn’t arrive on the designated day because our order had apparently ‘fallen off the system’. We then had to constantly chase Wickes because they kept changing the revised delivery date. Thankfully, the kitchen eventually arrived the day before Clem and Michael needed it. Phew.
All in all, we absolutely love our new kitchen and we can’t thank Coco, Lee, Richard, Ben, Liam, Lynsay and especially Clem and Michael enough!

Edit to say that I’m totally unimpressed with our worktops. Three weeks in and they’re noticeably scratched, just from light/normal kitchen use. We were told they were hard wearing. Not happy.

It’s that time of year where we all…

It’s that time of year where we all decide to decorate our homes. I came to wickes to buy the standard paint and brushes. Knowing that it would probably sit in a cupboard for the next few weeks. Spoke to a lady called Catt and she was so helpful. Helped me find the perfect colour for my hallway. She helped me pick a couple of different brushes for all different jobs. She spoke about how she enjoys painting and showed me a photo of a room she had recently painted. She really complimented the wickes own paint and how the coverage was great.

On her recommendations I got a lovely blue paint. Cutting in brushes, rollers, filler.
Being a little slow on my feet she was really patient with me and even helped me to the car.

Thank you Catt great job keep on smiling

Coco went above and beyond!

Coco went above and beyond to design our bathroom and support us through the process. She gave time and patience to talk through many options and was always at the end of the phone when needed. The bathroom is absolutely stunning and we couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Coco for any of your design needs.

Poor service

Ordered 13 boxes white tiles, 3 boxes carbon black at the shop in Eastbourne on Tuesday. 13 boxes of white tiles turned up fine no problem on the Wednesday, but they only sent 3 individual carbon black tiles. Went back to store and they had only ordered 3 individual tiles. Re ordered for next day delivery (Thursday), but didn't show up. Rang the store today, spoke to manager to ask where they were said i would have to ring customer service and put the phone down on me. Rang customer service and said they should be delivered today (Friday). I deliberately ordered to get them early as tiler was booked for Friday and at the moment he has been sitting around for 4 hours waiting for them to turn up. I asked to make a complaint regarding the store manager hanging up on me, and was told to go to complain in store to the manager or they would email him. How do make a complaint against the store manager to the store manager? Was told that was my only options as per Wickes policy. Not happy with the customer service, took the money and now there is an issue they don't care.

Excellent

From design to installation we were very pleased with our brand new kitchen.

Steven our kitchen designer was great throughout.

Our kitchen fitters Clemilson and Michael Horonato were superb throughout the entire installation. Every detail was thought out and he always came to us for any slight change that required our confirmation. Reliable, very hardworking, polite, clean and tidy. 100% recommend.
