Excellent customer service

We called in the shop today to buy some post Crete, we found it easily, only needed 1 bag so didn't think we needed a trolley, on our way to the till a gentleman approached us and took to bag off me, his name was Kev, I think he was the area manager? He took it to the till for us and then proceeded to take it to our car, amazing customer service, we was very impressed and grateful for the help. We had a little chat then as he was going back in the store we saw him helping a van backing up on the car park. Nothing was too much trouble for him.

Great Customer Service from Lewis (Preston)

I recently traveled 30 minutes to the Wickes Preston store to return a large amount of bricks, only to realise at the store that I couldn’t return them because I had paid via PayPal. However, Lewis at the Preston store was extremely helpful and patient, allowing me to complete the return despite the issue. His excellent customer service left me feeling very positive about Wickes, and I would happily return and shop there again. Thanks to Lewis, it avoided a lot of extra time and inconvenience.

Problem solved quick & easy

I was missing 1 screw on a hinge for the kitchen wall unit. I didn’t know if this would be a big problem or not but I popped into Wickes and so the friendly face of Ray again. I let him know my problem and within 5 minutes he comes up with the solution!! What a legend he is!!

Bathroom design and fitting - excellent.

I went to Wickes to have a bathroom gutted and replaced.
From the outset, this was a positive experience.
Kim, the designer, walked through all the options, gave me time to choose what I wanted, but also gave me choices so that I could see different approaches.
The communication was clear from the outset about when I needed to do things, and Kim regularly checked in to make sure I'd bought things I needed.
The fitters were superb from the start.
Damian was really clear and checked through everything. It's a messy business, but Damian made sure to keep things clean and tidy.
The quality of workmanship was excellent, and I'm definitely pleased with the finished product.

Kitchen satisfaction

I visited the Wickes depot in Preston to view their kitchens in the showroom.
Kimberley Balch explained the options available and following discussions between us she produced a design and quotation.
The installation of the kitchen is now complete and I am extremely satisfied with the quality of the units supplied.

detail sander for a good price

We were looking for a detail sander that was, unfortunately, out of stock. Gillian at the till was really helpful in directing us towards another branch that did have the item, letting us get the tool at the price we wanted.

Fabulous customer service

I took advantage of an excellent offer on topsoil, and stocked up to reseed my lawn. I bought 35 bags over 2 trips, and I have to thank Gillian for her excellent customer service helping me to load almost a tonne of weight into my car! Really above and beyond, and to top it off I had a tasty chocolate muffin in return for a 50p donation to their chosen brain tumor charity!

This branch is very helpful!
Gillian from Preston Wickes assistance was priceless!
We were looking for for an item and couldn't find it in all close Wickes stores.
She helped me to look for it, found it, then ordered for next day delivery which saved my time from making a trip to Warrington or other closest areas!
Appreciate your help dear Gillian!

Service with a smile...

Placed a large click and collect order of about 50 bags. Unbelievably, ready in 30mins.
At the Preston store, Gillian, Hayden and Abby were incredibly helpful and cheerful. "Service with a smile" must be their motto!
