BETTER THAN BNQ… 100% for service

BETTER THAN BNQ… 100% for service. SAM & SEAN could not have been more helpful. I was actually Offered assistance rather than those dressed in Orange at the competition 🤫, who run away 👀. I got exactly what I needed and they even helped me to retrieve the stuff that wasn’t on the shop floor.. AMELIA & GORDON at the tills also deserve praise for helping me through a problem I created for myself. All in all, a very happy customer. (I don’t review often but certainly do when I feel the people named deserve a thank you ☺️ ). Now I need other bits, I Would go again to this particular store 100%.

had an in-home bathroom design…

had an in-home bathroom design appointment booked with Wickes for 2:00pm yesterday, and the experience was extremely disappointing.

Shortly before the appointment, the store manager called to say the designer, Gary, was on his way but would be 15–20 minutes late. I waited. At 2:30pm, having heard nothing, I called the store and was told he would be “five minutes.”

By nearly 3:00pm, I then received a call from Gary himself saying he was still in the store and asking if he could still come. This made it clear that he was never on his way at all, and that I had been given inaccurate information by both the manager and store staff.

At that point, he was almost an hour late, and I cancelled the appointment. I don’t think it’s acceptable to keep customers waiting based on misleading updates. If the designer was still with another client, the appointment should have been rearranged honestly rather than encouraging staff to give false timeframes.

Very poor service and a complete waste of my time.

Hi, Raina. Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. We are really sorry to learn that your designer consultant was late and that you were given wrong timeframes, ending in you cancelling your design appointment. I have sent you a request for more information, so I can look into this for you. Thank you again for your feedback. - Scott H

Excellent customer service

I just had to write to praise the fantastic team at Wickes Watford, especially Jara Kirti. From the moment I approached her, Jara was a superstar—incredibly helpful, impressively knowledgeable, and she solved my query with ease. Thanks to her, I left with everything I came for and more, feeling completely confident in my choices.

The positive atmosphere created by the whole team is noticeable; everyone is so friendly and willing to go the extra mile. It’s always a pleasure to shop here, and today’s experience was a perfect example of why!

I have been here before and still no cooperation from Wickes. In August they took £46.50 from my account without permission. I continue to fight to try and get it back. Wickes are very unhelpful.

Thank you Jamie

Bought a new Simoto kitchen tap from your Watford store on Thursday 13th November 2025.
On friday 14th November thought we would undo box and check tap while waiting for our plumber to arrive. We discovered there were various parts missing. Had to cancel plumber who was on the way. We telephoned your Watford branch where we had purchased the tap and spoke to a very very helpful young man named Jamie. Watford didn't have one in stock but he managed to source one from your Hemel store he went and collected it from there and we collected it on Saturday.
Were not at all pleased at being sold something with parts missing and if it was not for your very helpful young man Jamie you would definitely NOT be getting any stars from us.

Excellent service

We cannot praise the customer service we received from the Watford branch high enough.
From the start when we had our kitchen designed, right through to when it was installed, the service has been wonderful.
Particular thanks goes to Tom who was so helpful, professional and patient with us even when we kept changing our minds on the design!
Thanks too goes to Matt who fitted the kitchen. His attention to detail was second to none.
Both Tom and Matt were a pleasure to deal with.
