Visited the store where Sophie

Visited the store where Sophie, the designer, patiently listened to my requirements and, with a few thoughtful additions and suggestions, transposed these into to a credible and cost effective layout. Sophie went beyond my expectations by advising me of numerous ‘special offers’ available both from Wickes and AEG, my chosen appliance manufacturer, and even assisted in finding a paint match for my cabinet fronts. Assistance was given throughout the order and delivery process with a delivery date arranged to suit me but outside the options originally proposed.All in all, a straightforward process from first visit to completion with support offered throughout.

Good range of stock

Good range of stock. I always seem to find everything i go for and end up getting extra items too. And the staff are always very helpful. Bought some tiles at an amazing bargain price of £5 per box, reduced from £45. And they are lovely too.

Thank you Sunderland Wickes for an amazing kitchen experience.
From the moment we started the planning process with Susan through to installation courtesy of Dan and Sam we felt we were in safe hands.
Susan listened to us and, through discussions over three meetings, planned a kitchen that perfectly suits our needs and age proofing requirements. Susan also successfully matched the appliances we purchased to our technical abilities.
The installation team - Dan and Sam - were extremely efficient and personable. Dan gave us a timetable detailing what to expect each day. Installation was completed as planned with minimal disruption to our daily lives.
We would not hesitate to return to Sunderland Wickes for future projects.
Thanks again to Susan and the team.

Fantastic customer service

I visited the Sunderland store today and I was pleased to say that I was assisted by a young man named Paul . Not only did he take me to the paint aisle to find the paint I needed but he also went to the store room to retrieve and extra tin for me . 10/10 for his politeness and customer service .

Disgusting disgraceful company

Can I just reiterate how much of a disgrace this company are..... After months of backwards and forwards emails to customer services and gid knows who else they've now said because it's been so long since we complained they aren't prepared to act in our complaint!
They asked for photos of damage caused on delivery of our bathroom which was sent, I have the emails. And they kept in asking for the same thing even though I sent them in the first instance. How convenient of you Wickes to do this after we spent a small fortune with you. Never again. And now your also saying we need a solicitor if we wish to make more fuss. How dare you. Absolutely furious and never again will we step foot in your stores. The bathroom got fitted damaged because we had no choice we have a family and needed it sorting and quick. We fitted it and out installer had to do all kinds to the bath to make it worthy of fitting what did you expect from us? Our bathroom was ripped out we had no choice. Disgraceful absolutely disgusting horrible conpany

Poor attitude

Had a phone call from the designer all he kept saying is it's going to cost around 10 to 12 thousand i said it would be cash, his reply was it will have to be paid upfront, I took it he wanted me to use their finance.
Right from the start of our conversation I got the impression he was not interested and couldn't be bothered so I cancelled and won't bother Wickes again

We purchased a kitchen costing over £13k from Wickes, the fitting is shocking the island although screwed to the floor is out of alignment to the wall and the other units with Wickes excuse saying that we must have knocked out of alignment, it’s disgusting customer service or in my case no customer service. The expert kitchen design leaves 2 cupboards that can not be used.
My strongest advice to everyone is don’t use them, the kitchens and fitters from Wickes are a rip off and would have had better service from someone who knocked on the door to offer to do the work.

Wickes would not understand customer service if it came wrapped as a Christmas gift. I can say we’re definitely not as proud as peacocks
