Newcastle Wickes - Community fund

Reached out to Alana Ruddick at Wickes Newcastle for assistance with a community project. (Air Cadets in West Denton stripping down a small engine). She pointed us to the community fund and arranged for us to receive all the equipment we needed for the project. She worked at short notice and made sure her team knew where the products were when we picked them up.
Thanks so much!

Dreadful delivery

Dreadful delivery. Expected 12th March as I received a text stating it would be delivered 12th March between 08:00 and 18:00. Received an updated text a short while later stating the item will be delivered between 12:00 and 15:00. No further texts or calls and item was not delivered at all. A bit frustrating as I had taken time from work to take delivery.
Next morning I received a text staing once again that a delivery would be made. I contacted the delivery company by calling the included telephone number. I spoke with the receptionist and asked how confident they were that my delivery would be received today as I had a failed delivery yesterday. She went on to tell me that the item was never sent yesterday and that they had never sent texts saying so! which is incredible as I had the texts. She stated that they never send texts and that head office at Wickes send the texts.
This was then denied by Wickes when I called them.
Eventually my item was delivered today and I asked the delivery driver why he failed to deliver yesterday to which he replied that he had too much on and the weather was dreadful and he running very late and postponed my delivery.
So basically it has been lies all round and a lot of passing the buck. I have spoken at length with Wickes who have to take responsibility as they use the delivery company.
Not a very good start for my forthcoming project.

Excellent customer service

Amazing service when purchasing fence panels. Charlotte made what would have been a chore into a fun experience. She went above and beyond was very knowledgeable, her customer service was excellent. The product was delivered in perfect condition on the same day as purchased for a small charge. We were very happy with the service and would highly recommend Wickes.

Excellent community support

I work with the Air Cadets who are a non profit organisation. As such we applied for a grant for £100 from Wickes to buy some paint as the premises we need was in desperate need of redecorating. We were successful and contacted by a lovely lady called Alana Ruddick from Wickes Newcastle. She was extremely helpful outlining exactly what we could have and answering our queries. We settled on some paint and contacted her, it was ready for collection the very next day. We are extremely impressed with the kindness of the donation and also how helpful Alana was in progressing this. Thank you Alana and Wickes Newcastle

Very easy process

Chelsie Broady at St James Retail Park was very knowledgeable and made the design process super quick and easy. I came in knowing pretty much exactly what I wanted, and she let me know what would work, and what wouldn’t. This is the first kitchen I’ve ever purchased, and so it was nice to have someone experienced for guidance. I haven’t ordered my kitchen yet, but will be doing so shortly using the design Chelsie made.

Fantastic

What a brilliant service from start to finish. Being new to any form of home improvements, getting a new kitchen seemed extremely daunting, but everyone we've dealt with has really helped put us at ease and made the process as stress free as possible.

Our designer Chelsie Broady has been brilliant, she really took the time to find out what was important to us to give us suggestions that really fitted our needs. Chelsie's extensive knowledge shows, answering any queries we had and explaining the full process clearly so we knew exactly what was going on. Above all, Chelsie was so friendly to deal with, she's a real credit to the team.

The delivery process was incredibly smooth and the delivery team were friendly and polite. The tracking and delivery updates were really helpful.

We can't thank our installation team (Simon Ord - Precision Joinery) enough. From the start Simon kept us well informed of the planned work from start to finish, as well as any bumps in the road (e.g. being a total life saver spotting and fixing a leak from the bathroom). Although there's quite a bit of upheaval involved in getting a new kitchen fitted (especially with two young children in the house), Simon completely put me at ease. The team are clearly well experienced, hard working and fantastic at what they do, we couldn't be more grateful to them or more pleased with our gorgeous new kitchen.
What an incredible team!

Leen the legend. Great customer service

So I am never out of this Wickes and recently needed help. I met Leen and I must admit one of the most helpful workers I have met. She was so pleasant and nothing was to much trouble. Its hard to get good customer service these days but Leen is a great credit to the company. Well done.
