Sam turned up on time having checked in prior to the appointment.
Fully explained options prior to appointment which gave us assurance there would be no pressure sales.
Helpful throughout the whole visit.
Ensured we knew about contact for follow up appointments.

Fantastic service and advice from James. Myself and another customer were staring at the plastering tools and materials not having a clue between us. James came over and explained exactly what we needed, why we needed and how we would use the tools he suggested. Saving certainly
Myself not only a small fortune but also a lot of work. Thanks James @South Shields store

I went into Wickes South Shields with a desk lamp bulb which needed replacing. With different screw fittings, wattage and white types I had no idea which one to get. I asked a lady at Customer Services who showed me to a man called Glen to help me. Glen explained the correct screw fitting, wattage and white type to get so a few minutes later I walked out the shop very happy with a new desk lamp bulb.

Staff at South Shields branch are always friendly and helpful. Yesterday Brian helped to select and load very heavy bags of bark chippings to my car. Nothing is a bother for him. Thank you.

Went in store to purchase some wooding flooring, the staff member Jean went over and beyond to help me and my wife out and worked out exactly how many packs we would require and also showed us the different options for beading and underlay. She went over and beyond to help us out and defiantly requires recognition!

Audrey on the checkouts always has a smile and happy to help. Nice to see staff at the checkout rather than self scanners like some of the competitors. Well stocked and maintained store.

I received excellent service from Dennielle at Wickes South Shields. She was highly professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout my visit. Dennielle demonstrated a strong understanding of the products and the practical requirements of trade customers, providing clear and accurate advice that ensured I selected the correct materials first time.
Her approach was organised and courteous, making the process straightforward and saving valuable time. Dennielle is a real asset to the South Shields store, and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to other customers seeking reliable, professional service.
