We needed to purchase some tiles for our bathroom project. We knew the size of the bathroom but were not exactly sure how many packs of tiles we would need. Cassie was extremely helpful, she did the calculation for us on line. She explained how the delivery service worked. A young lady with a bright future in customer service. We wish her well.

Lack of customer care

Visited Newport Gwent Wickes Sunday 31st May to buy a bag of sand to mix a small amount of cement mortar. Got it home to annoyingly find the sand had a large amount of stones and rubble mixed in. Took it straight back where a young male assistant offered a replacement but no apology. They demanded my personal details, but please, thankyou and sorry did not feature in their conversation with me.When I suggested they check some other bags, they said they had already had several other complaints that day. None the less they continued to display it and thus inconvenienced me considerably in time and fuel. A small purchase I know and normally I shop there fairly regularly without complaint but feel strongly that customer care went absent that day.

Went to buy bags of postcrete

Went to buy bags of postcrete. Man on the till was very helpful and told me where they were. Lovely young lady Cassie gave me her trolly as I didn't have 1, then I couldn't pick the bags up 20kg each but too heavy for me. Cassie jumped to help me, such a relief to have good helpful staff, cassie then put it into my boot for me. I'm giving Cassie a gold star for being helpful, polite and offering help at every turn. Well done wicks, your staff are great.
Date is approximate as can't find my receipt atm.

Kitchen appointment at Newport Branch

Just had an appointment with Duncan at the Newport branch to design my new kitchen. He was very professional and came up with some nice ideas using the display kitchens to show me how it would look. I was impressed with final design and the price

A very busy day a the Ranch...(sorry) Branch

Called into the Newport branch to pick up some insulation boards and order a delivery of plasterboard and doors, the branch was extremely busy with trade and mere mortals buying all their bank holiday projects, I had the pleasure of being served by Jill, who had my purchase and delivery order sorted in no time and had me on my way, polite and professional service in what looked like the start of a very busy day for Jill and the rest of the staff... A+

Excellent customer service

Cassie went out of her way to find the exact drill I wanted (there was only one in the shop) and checked that it could be held for me to get to the shop. Excellent customer service.

Booked a home bathroom design visit

Booked a home bathroom design visit. They turned up nearly 2 hours late which meant the appointment was rushed as I had to get back to work not long after they turned up. Was told I would receive designs by email the following Tuesday but they never materialised. Very poor service and still no design.
