I needed to get some paint and I got help from a member of staff named Glen. He was helpful and fun. Nothing was too much trouble...definitely deserves recognition for his customer service 👍

Glen at Wickes South Shields very helpful

I went into Wickes South Shields with a desk lamp bulb which needed replacing. With different screw fittings, wattage and white types I had no idea which one to get. I asked a lady at Customer Services who showed me to a man called Glen to help me. Glen explained the correct screw fitting, wattage and white type to get so a few minutes later I walked out the shop very happy with a new desk lamp bulb.

Excellent service with a smile.

Staff at South Shields branch are always friendly and helpful. Yesterday Brian helped to select and load very heavy bags of bark chippings to my car. Nothing is a bother for him. Thank you.

Member of staff Jean 5***** service!!!

Went in store to purchase some wooding flooring, the staff member Jean went over and beyond to help me and my wife out and worked out exactly how many packs we would require and also showed us the different options for beading and underlay. She went over and beyond to help us out and defiantly requires recognition!

I received excellent service from Dennielle at Wickes South Shields. She was highly professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout my visit. Dennielle demonstrated a strong understanding of the products and the practical requirements of trade customers, providing clear and accurate advice that ensured I selected the correct materials first time.

Her approach was organised and courteous, making the process straightforward and saving valuable time. Dennielle is a real asset to the South Shields store, and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to other customers seeking reliable, professional service.

Customer excellent customer service

This is the third review that I have written for the wickes South Shields store over the last few years They are all positive and all highlight areas of excellent customer service .As anyone knows in business , consistency is the key and their customer service is definitely that .
Today I was helped by Dawn who was excellent. I had a struggle to find the right colour match and she took time to compare all options . She helped me to find items without actually being asked . It is always a pleasure to go into Wickes I have never had anything but good customer service. Today was no exception
