Elizabeth was really knowledgeable about plumbing, what would fit and what wouldn't, and what could be done in our bathroom. She answered all our questions and was very professional.

Kaleb is a star, give him a pay rise! And a case of corona! He was super helpful, engaging and made my visit today a pleasure. I left smiling 🙂

Wickes Reading

I Visited Wickes in Reading today to buy some paint. I couldn't find the colour us was looking for o the shelf so approach a young chap by the name of Tom. He went out of his way to assist and found what I was looking for back of house. I had a few other queries that he assisted me with.
Really refreshing to meet someone that actually seemed keen to help.
Thanks Tom

Awful experience

Been six months since our bathrooms were done already have mould appearing on our ceiling ! A cloakroom door that hits into the sink when u open it dented shower frame the list is endless ! Please please don’t use them! If I could leave a minus star I
I would! Tiles ran out took 2 weeks to get more wrong panels with shower 2 leaks during fitting absolutely heartbreaking had to move out due to sewage smell which they argued we couldn’t prove was down to them . Wickes gave us a very small rebate which didn’t cover our expenses ( I stupidly accepted ) due to illness. We waited years to do these improvements and it was ruined by our experience with Wickes.

Outstanding Customer Service

I Just would like to say that a young lady called Olivia was extremely helpful to me with my order. I have never used the Reading store before but as I could not find enough packs of flooring which I needed 27 packs in my local town as they were was out of stock.
Olivia found some on the shop floor and in the storeroom she was helping me load my trolley and running around finding other items I needed.
Olivia told me to go home and off load and return back to the store and she would load up the rest of my order and would leave it in a safe place for when I returned back to the store later that day.
What a amazing young lady.
