I have visited this branch on several occasions and have consistently found all members of staff to be friendly and helpful.
On a number of visits, I was served by Dawn, who stood out for her exceptional helpfulness and professionalism. She always greeted me with a smile, making the eperience particularly pleasant. Thank you!

I’ve moved house recently and it has been massively stressful but I must commend Abbey for the work she has done as our designer. We haven’t had fitting yet but the process so far has been wonderful from her perspective and she even emailed me on her day off today! Which she didn’t need to but I appreciate nonetheless

I came in to the store today for a friend. They had given me a list of things to buy. I didn’t have a clue what to get so spoke to the first person I seen. That was Dave, he was incredibly helpful and not only directed me to the things I needed but helped me load my trolley with all of the items on my list. He was so friendly and helpful. I couldn’t thank him enough. His customer service was outstanding. Thank you so much Dave

Just called wickes south shields and spoke to tanya. She gave me 5 star customer service , i was asking about the different types of flooring and she answered all my questions . She was knowledgeable ,had a very friendly manner and was genuinly interested in my query, she was very patient and didn't rush me off the phone, like a lot of customer service people in other places.What a very refreshing change to speak to someone who has excellent customer service skills and so helpful.
I hope she goes far in the company.

Bought a kitchen with Abbey's help, she was excellent help at the South Shields branch. Talked us through our options, offering options that weren't on the shop floor to suit our budget. We felt the whole experience was really easy, felt no sales pressure and felt it went well from start to finish. Even after the sale, we had a few minor issues with damage on the doors, Abbey sorted the new delivery out of the new doors very quickly. Would definitely recommend Abbey and Wickes for kitchens.
