New kitchen journey

Our new kitchen journey started by visiting the Durham store. There were many lovely kitchens on display and a favourite quickly presented itself. We emailed the store to arrange a home visit by one of the designers. Richard very quickly contacted us with a date he would come out and see what we were wanting in our new kitchen. He was a very friendly guy, he shared ideas and thoughts of what would work for us. After that and a couple of visits back to the store we booked and paid for our new kitchen.
We highly recommend Durham Wickes and Richard for all the work he put into our new kitchen.

Can’t complain

Met for a kitchen design appointment. The designer Gary listened to what I wanted and created a design I was happy with and a price for what was required.
Great experience so far.

Waste of space

Please, please do not deal with this company.
Ordered a kitchen, which with fitting cost over 20k. What a shambles. Should have taken 2 weeks to complete, but due to the incompetence of Wickes it took 3 months.
I rang my instalation advisor over 31 times over the 3 months and only managed to speak him a couple of times. I was passed from pillar to post.
The only person who helped was a lovely lady called Caroline.
The design of the kitchen is bad with one corner cupboard being unable to use as you can't even get a plate through the door. Units which were going to be taken into a alcove, so the whole alcove would be used, haven't so we have lost space. Some units were 2ft shorter than the ceiling when all other units fitted right up to the ceiling.
If they measure for flooring be very careful. We were told we needed 6 extra boxes of flooring and underlay. When fitter arrived he said straight away we had far to much. We then had ro do a 60 mile round for to return it for a refund.
All in all we have been offered £170 compensation, which is a absolute insult.
Please do not let Wickes near your home.
The fitters Wickes supplied were great and I can not thank them enough, they too had a bit of a rough time having to come back and forth

I have given this store a 5 star review overall but I would like to personally shoutout to a member of staff called Jay. I found her very approachable to begin with when I needed help within the store, she was very helpful but most of all full of knowledge when I was unsure on what I was buying. Thanks to Jay, my experience within Wickes was excellent!

Amazing Bathrooms

We are so pleased with our new bathroom and en-suite. We were brave and had one done straight after the other. And were a bit anxious but we needn't have worried, Richard our designer and Steve our fitter really looked after us and did an amazing job. Both bathrooms are absolutely stunning, we couldn't be happier.

I supply and install kitchens and…

I supply and install kitchens and bathrooms to customers and can categorically say that this company is by far the worst retailer out there items were sent incorrectly on delivery and noted by the driver however after been on the telephone for over 1 hour to try and get that resolved they reluctantly arranged a courier to deliver the item that they sent incorrectly and to top it off the taps were not delivered and when I went to the Durham store to try and locate the taps they told me that they had no idea if I would get them as they could even be discontinued so I purchased a alternative tap however nearly one week later a delivery driver turned up with them again I contacted the store to be told that I COULD NOT RETURN THEM TO THE STORE even though I paid them the money and in fact I had to arrange through customer services to be collected and only from my clients address that they were nearly 1 week late delivering to I did state that I have completed the job and my clients both work everyday and nobody will be in and they suggested I left the taps outside and I said what if they go missing and I was advised that if they were stolen I would not get my refund so to cut a long story short this company is a absolute disgrace with ZERO percent caring for its customers I suggest anyone who reads this DO NOT BUY FFOM THIS COMPANY lije on every review they email you for more details and when you send it to them NO REPLY AT ALL

Hi Paul, e appreciate you sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear about the issues with the order, the incorrect deliveries, and the difficulty returning the taps.

Amazing customer service

Have been dealing with Gary Vent since 2024 With designing kitchen & he is the most friendliest sales person I have met. I have changed my design a lot of times & nothing was a bother, I didn’t feel rushed, honestly he was amazing. I eventually bit the bullet & ordered this evening. After changing few more details lol
Again Gary was super helpful putting all my worries at ease. He’s a huge credit to the wicks store in Durham. Could not have done any this without his support & patience. This man is a saint.
Thanks again Gary.

Lauren was so helpful when mixing paint for our daughters bedroom. We were helped straight away and she was lovely and pleasant while we watched her mix the paints. It's the first time we've used wickes and with the service we got we'll definitely be returning.

Danny was a great help in getting slabs from the back of the shop to the car.
On weekday evenings there aren’t many staff about to help but those that were there were very helpful!
