Great help from Hannah Watford

Great help and support from Hannah!
I was looking for a paint which was the Crown snowfall , and was looking for a to colour match this but in eggshell for panelling. She helped me choose a selection from Dulux ( as they do different colours you can paint match in store. She went over and beyond and ended up creating a board with the different samples . (I had bought the samples ) but as I was in a hurry we tested them in store. I am happy to say I then chose a colour which Hannah made up. My husband painted the panelling last night , ready for Easter , and it looks great!. 🤗. Thank- you .

Five stars from us!

As a company we are always in and out of Wickes stores across approximately a 50 mile radius.

Watford is the one store where you can always rely on friendly and happy staff to assist or help with anything you may need.

Highly recommended!

Damaged item and missing parts

Drove 15 miles to collect as local Wickes had none available. On arrival shown chrome shower caddy without fittings and it was scratched. Offered a discount but will not look good in new bathroom. Told me there is another one in another branch, 30 miles in another direction. 1 hour already wasted and no offer of compensation. A call when they knew the issue would have been helpful.

Asked by Dylan to read private message in trustpilot but there are no messages in trustpilot. Can you contact me via email instead?

I spent a significant amount of money ordering new doors online for throughout the entire house. Due to delays with building work, the joiner had to start at a later date to build door frames ect. One of the 13 doors we ordered was too small and I contacted wicks to ask if I could return it and swap it for the larger door which is the same price. The door was still in the packaging. I was told no due to the fact I had the door for over 30 days. I wasn’t asking for a refund. Just to simply swap it for a larger one. I explained my circumstances and the reason for the delay in asking for the return, but the answer was the same. I spent a large amount with this company and they can’t help with a small error.

No designer no service

We had high hopes for our Wickes kitchen, but the experience has been nothing but frustrating. Once the designer is unavailable, no changes can be made to the order—not even by the store manager! Any requested changes take over a week, leaving us stuck with no flexibility.

This rigid system left us with no option but to cancel our order. It’s shocking that a company this big can’t offer a smoother process. Would not recommend if you want any level of customer service after placing your order!
And this is the service you get when you can still cancel, hate to think how it is if any issues come up after delivery

So after trying to cancel I get the designer being all aggressive with me because he just spent 30 minutes on the phone trying to sort us out. I'm sorry but after 1 week of back and forth we've had enough.

Edit after response. Dylan is a liar, like all other staff at wickes hasn't bothered to message or follow up the review as he claims he will below, don't believe them

Thank You, Wickes!

After renovating my flat, the kitchen was the most challenging part of the process. I visited countless kitchen warehouses, searching for the right combination of quality, design, and service. Then, I came across Wickes—and it was the best decision I could have made!

From the moment I stepped into the showroom, the experience was seamless. They booked me an appointment, and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Nassi at the Watford branch. She was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and had a fantastic eye for design. She not only guided me through the best quality options but also brought creative ideas that truly transformed my kitchen.

I am beyond grateful for Wickes and for Nassi’s expertise. The entire process was smooth, stress-free, and exceeded all my expectations. If you’re looking for exceptional quality, outstanding service, and a designer who truly listens and delivers, look no further than Wickes. Highly recommended!

Good service

Having not been to a Wickes in years, I've just come back from the one in Watford. We were seen by Hannah on the till which was a delightful experience. She was professional, polite and attentive. Will definitely go back.

Amy Laura Tang Design Consultant

Amy Laura Tang Design Consultant, formerly from the Watford Branch .

We had our kitchen designed by Amy. She demonstrated professional Customer Service all the way. In fact , whilst her colleagues from the customer service failed us, not only did she design our kitchen perfectly, she coordinated and ironed out any queries that we had. What an amazing employee! We were so happy to have had her appointed to our project. Thank you Amy!

It was my lucky day when I met up with Tom Collins at Wickes, Watford. He meticulously planned a kitchen and 2 bathrooms for me. I loved the new navy kitchen I chose with the beautiful worktop. The bathrooms were well planned. The fitters, Softwood Beech, fitted everything to perfection. Wickes and Softwood Beech are a winning team! I am over the moon with all that Tom Collins planned.
