Shocking services and terrible communication ,no care and responsibility.

Do not go with this company, we are still without a working kitchen for 6 months, their trade men are not to be trusted . Wickes customer service are terrible at getting it sorted ,communication between them keep messing up,the sell man promise that the fitter will be fantastic, it just lies.I chosen painted door because I wanted red,because apparently they are bespoke it has to be fitted by their fitter to keep it under guaranteed!!the units are standard units not bespoke made to measure. So far fitter (who is a electrician by trade)left a broken soil stack which leaked waste into the kitchen every time we have shower or toilet upstair,near open live wires which is hazardous, took them 2 weeks to repair that.Unit damage and uneven before he even done the electricity work and plastering which should have been done first! so no work top and sink with running water and hobs.They already replaced the units that was damage from first fitter,but they still send another terrible fitter,more damage and badly fitted !!The only thing we haven't come across are the worktops fitter because it never happens because of kitchen delays.
It not acceptable and thry are getting away with this.we got 4 adults in this small house and this suppose to be a nice experience but no we are doing all the chasing and emailing in between our working time,feel like we working for customer services. I just loss my Dad last month and really didn't need this.

We are truly sorry to hear about the incredibly difficult and frustrating experience you've had with your kitchen installation. We understand how disheartening it must be to be in this situation for six months with an unfinished kitchen. We are concerned to learn about the issues you've faced with the tradesmen, the communication breakdowns, and the ongoing delays and damages. We are requesting more information to look into this matter thoroughly. -AK

Excellent customer service from Lottie

Popped in today for some building sand and a bag of repair tarmac and was expertly assisted by Lottie who’s customer service was spot on today, she spent the time to show me reviews from her phone on how to make it softer to work with as first impressions you’d think it was too hard to work with.
Great service today Lottie thank you

Thoughtful and Caring.

I went to the Wickes in Northampton Riverside Retail Park. I purchased some compost and was on my way back to the car with my friend who has a disability. Paul, the store manager called out and asked if we needed a hand. We were struggling to get the bags in car and he came over ,put the bags in the car for us. He wished us a good day. Thank you so much Paul for your assistance, you are a credit to Wickes.

New Kitchen Installation

We have just had our new kitchen installation completed, purchased from Wickes at Riverside Northampton and installed by Leon’s Renovations. The design created by Jamie Matcham was absolutely fabulous, he gave us everything we wanted plus more, nothing was to much trouble even when we wanted to change part of original design, including additional building work not originally planned. We highly recommend Wickes at Riverside, Northampton, they are a great team of people, led by the extremely helpful store manager Paul.
We will not hesitate to go back and use this store again. Thank you all. G & M

Wickes kitchen designer experience

Booking an appointment for a Wickes kitchen designer was very easy with lots of availability on dates and times. My kitchen designer Aaron was lovely and I felt like he quickly understood the kitchen design I was looking for. He took the time to explain the design to me and made any small tweaks requested and I didn't feel like anything was a hassle or too much for him. There was no pushy selling and the quote was broken down in an easy to understand format. Despite it being a small showroom I felt there was a lot of choice of options to view in person.

My hat goes off to Jade and Anna from the Riverside Depot. I was really stuck for a large delivery of Paving Slabs and Sand and Cement which would of had to come from their main depot but wouldn't get it till 10th June but I was hoping to get it Friday or Saturday latest. They suggested that if they split the load into two deliveries they could do it from their depot tomorrow and the two deliveries would also work out cheaper than getting from main depot. What Stars you are. Thank you.

Charlie is a credit to you

Charlie is a credit to you! I had ordered 24bags of topsoil and 14 sleepers. Im a woman myself certainly not the strongest and I also don't have the biggest car. Charlie helped me load my car and even exchange a split sleeper for me! Couldn't recommend enough. Appreciate all your help!

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service, friendly and helpful member of staff (Lottie). Walked in to buy patio sand and we were helped by Lottie who directed us in the store, told us which to buy (didn’t realise there were so many different types of sand), got a trolley for us and even loaded it!

I was a bit annoyed after my first visit to the Northampton Riverside store.
I needed some arris rail & fencing, looked online & they had what I needed.
I only had a small window of opportunity & the store is less than 10 minutes away.
I turned up at the store only to find they had cordoned off the area to restock shelving with a forklift.
I appreciate this has to be done, but this was mid morning on a Saturday on a bank holiday weekend, probably one of their busiest times. I waited for around 20 minutes but as I was short on time I had to abandon.
Shouldn't shelf stacking with the forklift be sorted whilst the store is closed either the evening before or before opening in the morning?
Normally I do find Wickes to be OK, but this experience with a distinct lack of organisation did put me off.
