Excellent work

I contacted Tom at Wickes as part of their community projects to try and gain products to support our school Outdoor Play and Learning project. Tom was in touch within 24 hours and the products were collected with no problem. Excellent customer service, very efficient and would definitely recommend!

Where is my refund?

I had been waiting 6 months for the bathroom I paid for to be installed.

After a load of issues (all of which were my fault according to customer services), a fitter was assigned and finally, we have the bathroom we paid for. The fitters did a good job too.

The only problem now is that I have been waiting nearly 2 months for Wickes to issue a refund for all the work we paid for but didn't have done.

I have contacted them many times and still hear nothing from them.

It's one issue after another with Wickes...

Please give me back the money you owe me!

Good customer service

Good customer service, two staff Rich/Duane were great in getting my tiles from the back as soon as they had been delivered into store. Unsure of the date just know it was a Friday a few weeks back.

Spoke to Tom over the phone who just got it from the moment i told him.
Dealt with the issue superbly. Very customer focussed but also logical in his approach. Left me as a happy customer and i can carry on spending 100s at wickes!
P.s.this level of service stands above other retailers that you'd expect to do more.
Top man Tom

Outstanding service from Sharon at Wickes!

We would like to say a huge thank you to Sharon for all her help when we were choosing and purchasing our flooring and tiles. She was incredibly patient, friendly and knowledgeable throughout the whole process.

Sharon took the time to explain everything clearly, including the different services available and how we could make the most of the discounts to get the best possible deal. She never rushed us and made sure we fully understood our options before making any decisions.

She genuinely went above and beyond to help us, and her customer service was exceptional from start to finish. It’s rare to come across someone who puts so much effort into making sure customers are happy.

Thank you again, Sharon you were brilliant and made the whole process so much easier! Wickes are lucky to have you!

Rich & Rhys 5 Star

Decided to redecorate the bathroom 3days before going away.(mistake number 1)
We first decided on using B&Q for our paint and DIY needs..(mistake numer 2)..after being messed around being told to tour the stores of Leicestershire for different(poor quality) products.

I was about to give up when I rang Wicks in Thurmaston, I think I spoke to Rich first and heard Rhys in the background helping.
Nothing and I mean nothing was a problem for these guys. Finally got the answer that B&Q and Ai couldn't answer that took about 2 days, it took Rich and Rhys less than 5 minutes with answers.
Drove to the store pretty much straight the way, where when ordering my paint Rich was walk towards to counter and said the name of the paint and we had a friendly chat, that right there!! is customer service at its very best!!

I can't thank Rich & Rhys enough. They saved the bathroom, hoilday and my relationship 🤣

I hope they are rewarded as they are a massive plus to the busy. Now I will not go anywhere other that Wicks because of these 2.

Thank you once again.

Antiquated gift card policy

Wickes are ok but they have a policy that if you pay for items via gift card and then top up with cash payment they will not refund cash payment if you return an item but reissue another gift card thereby forcing you to shop there again! Most unhappy with this policy since the stores is miles away and I can't use the gift card online. You have to go to the store to use it. So antiquated.
