Very helpful team at Watford Wickes

We were served by Hannah with some trellising which was stored underneath a number of other items, and was a bit buried. Hannah was very happy to help us and clearly enjoys her job and takes pride in her work. A real asset to Wickes.

Few reasons

As a customer looking lost I was approached by a chap called Gordon
He asked if I needed assistance, quickly I said yes !
I have started building a wooden summerhouse in my back garden.
Not unfamiliar with carpentry, the main frame is 70% completed.
Gordon listened to my issues and suggested several ways to overcome every issue. An experienced trader himself, his understanding and advice was absolutely brilliant.
Thank you Gordon
I’ll be back as I need to order roofing and insulation materials to complete my project ..

Great help from Gordon

I was in the middle of a DIY project here in Watford and, like many DIYers, I walked into the store with a million questions and a bit of uncertainty. I was lucky enough to meet Gordon, and I cannot thank him enough for his help.
Gordon didn’t just point me to a shelf; he truly listened to what I was trying to achieve. He shared insights from his years of experience that I never would have thought of on my own. It’s rare to find someone so kind, patient, and genuinely invested in helping a customer succeed. He turned a confusing part of my project into a clear plan.
Wickes is lucky to have someone with his expertise and heart on the team. If you’re heading into the Watford branch and need someone who actually cares about your project, look for Gordon!"

When I went into the Watford store I was greeted by Lee.

When I went into the Watford store I was greeted by a lovely young man called Lee who helped me find the paint I was looking for. They didn't have 5ltrs of Soft truffle in stock and he pointed out that it would be cheaper to buy the 2 x 2.5ltrs which was in store. Such a lovely polite helpful young man.

Helpful service with a smile

I was served by Maria at the checkout who was just a pleasure to deal with. She was very helpful and explained there was special 15% discount on all products so of course I bought a few extra items. I hope this review is shared with her. She deserves to be commended by her manager for consistent good work.
