Lied to by Mark Sheward.

We placed an order on the 9th February.
We were then told we had to go back in as the card reader wasn’t working.
Then in March, we were told on the phone that they had missed the panels off and that they would give us a discount and throw in the adhesive. When we went in he said he couldn’t offer a discount so we ended up paying £1500 extra.
At the 26th March they have taken our money but heard nothing further.
Only bumped up to 2 stars as when we complained the manager was actually helpful. As writing we await an outcome and will update as order progresses

Mark Sheward unhelpful

Had an appointment with Mark Sheward, from the moment I mentioned I wanted a takeaway kitchen to fit myself his demeanour seemed to change, although to be honest he wasn't engaging from the off. Having explained our wishes he seemed quite obnoxious, dismissing our suggestions as basically daft, in the end I told him to design it how he felt it should be, thinking I can tweak it afterwards and buy what I need, he never took the trouble to send the design over by email, although the click of send on his email may seem tiring to him, it's been two months now and I've now let B&Q have my money. Tried to sort the lack of contact from him via Wickes customer service - equally appalling. May I say - if you are in Stoke and want a takeaway kirchen, go to B&Q Festival Park, young staff members but amazingly helpful, and the delivery guys - absolute stars. Been tempted to drive to Wickes to tell 'Mark' what I think of him, but he's not worth the effort, in my opinion an arrogant unhelpful man.

We recently visited our local Wickes

We recently visited our local Wickes, re a new kitchen. We spent time with Mr Mark Sheward, the design consultant, who took us through the whole process. He was very patient and listened to our ideas. On his visit to our home, and the drawing up of the plans he gave us excellent ideas and solutions to our design issues. He explained the whole process in detail. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Mark is very knowledgeable, with excellent customer service, and has a great can do attitude. We would highly recommend him to anyone.

Mark Shewood kitchen designer (Wickes)

Had our kitchen designed by Mark Shewood. He came up with more ideas than we could have thought of in six months! Our kitchen will be completely transformed, and brought bang up to date! It was a great experience, looking at his thoughts and ideas... and he's a really nice bloke too, who had time for all of our questions.

Fantastic & Helpful Staff & Store Manager.

We came and purchased 13 fence panels off yourselves. We had a few issues with the sizing et cetera and were helped massively by the store manager Karl, because half the panels which were £700 worth had been the wrong size,
He helped us out immensely. Thank you very much.

New kitchen planning

We have just ordered a kitchen with the help of Mark from the Tunstall branch. Obviously the kitchen is not installed and fitted yet but we have had fantastic service from Mark who has made everything simple and easy for us as well as being friendly and approachable.

A take your money and run attitude

I paid £9k for ceramic worktops and upstands.

Once fitted it became very apparent that the measurements had been taken incorrectly - the gap on the upstand being a couple of mm at one end and over a cm at the other end - they have then filled with mastic.

I complained and initially they stated It was the wall; however we’ve had a level on the wall and it’s completely straight.

I complained on several occasions but they refused to acknowledge my complaint and will not come and view/see the job.

I asked the local store for the contact details/legal company details so I could see if I could raise a formal complaint/claim and they refused to give me the information.

Very poor after sales service; take your money and run attitude.
