Just want to say how very helpful Aleesha was in your Stowmarket Branch this afternoon. Whilst she didn't have what I wanted in store, she quickly found the items in your Martlesham Branch and I'll... See more

Had a wasted trip to Stowmarket. We went in for an appointment for some help with a new bathroom. But as we didn’t ask for a full refit they were not interested and told us it would be too expensive.... See more

Visited wicked stowmarket and the staff…

Visited wicked stowmarket and the staff were nothing short of amazing. Helped me find what I needed and even advised what would be better to use for my panneling project. I had my dog with me and they even welcomed him. Harry the young man that works there should get a pay rise as he goes above and beyond. Will recommend my family and friends to visit there instead of jewsons or screwfix

Great Service

We had Abi plan our kitchen for us and she really knew the Wickes range well.
She had an eye for detail and colours and could envisage what we wanted.
The proposal was well presented and carefully explained.
Can't wait for the kitchen to be fitted now.

Abi explained all the options and details very well. Abi was very patient and helpful when we wanted to make changes. She worked to our budget and was very professional when coming out to measure up for us. Abi understood what we were trying to achieve and made helpful suggestions. Would highly recommend.

Kitchen - Worst customer service I’ve ever dealt…

Worst customer service I’ve ever dealt with- Do not expect any customer service if there is an issue.

Ordered a kitchen from them instore, when they delivered they missed items (not great but it happens). As we had kitchen fitters coming 2 days later they said they’d send the missing part next day. It didn’t arrive and this is where it became horrendous dealing with them.

Instore team said it was sent next day, but to contact customer services, we did they said it wasn’t sent next day as the ‘are unable to do that’. Instore team then showed us the emails from customer services where they told them it was next day (they even forwarded me the email trail!). In store team said that customer services are dreadful and often treat them horribly and suggest we raise a complaint through customer relations. Customer relations tell us we have to raise with customer services.

We get fed up and raise a complaint through their website form. This goes to customer services who tell us to contact customer relations.

Basically they want you to give up.

Plus I’ve got copies of emails between the instore team and customer services (which they should never have sent me) and the way the customer support team talk to the in store team was horrendous.

We never got the item, we lost a few hundred pounds in fitters fees as they had to come back an extra day due to the missing item not arriving (which they sourced from elsewhere themselves in the end)

Avoid at all costs as if something goes wrong they are 0 help and their system is design to make you give up.

Crispen

Met with Crispen for our new kitchen, he came out to measure, we then had two meetings to sort our design, he was very helpful and informative. No hesitation at all in recommending him.

Great service

Went into Wickes Stowmarket today to have some paint mixed. Very helpful lady advised this color knotted twine was available off the shelf. When this wasn't available in their store she arranged for click and collect at another store. She could have just mixed it , but instead was really helpful which saved me money. Great service

Great design service

I’ve had 2 design consultations with Abi at Stowmarket now and each time she’s been excellent in explaining my options and very patient with my indecision! I’ve come away with a clear itemised quote and Abi will get in touch, or I’ll contact her - so not pushy, just an efficient and pleasurable experience. Thank you

Super service from Stowmarket branch

Great service from Tom at the Stowmarket branch, helping us update our bathroom. No pushy sales tactics, just honest advice and tips on making the most of what is on offer.

We were looking into replacing our…Kitchen

We were looking into replacing our kitchen. We looked at both the lifestyle range and bespoke. We were greeted by Crispin who was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to answer our questions. We then made an appointment for him to draw up a plan and show us what everything would look like once fitted including a change of colour. Crispin then came out and checked all measurements and put together the final plan including some changes we had asked for. Nothing was too much trouble and his customer service is excellent. We have no hesitation in recommending Crispin and his team.

Avoid using Wickes choose a different company

Wickes Stowmarket.
I had a kitchen fitted, my dish washer door won't open properly because the door wasnt fitted properly, cupboard doors won't close properly, plinths have bowed because they were cut incorrectly, upstands were cut too short and have come away from the wall as not enough adhesive, work top has dropped as it was incorrectly fitted and even the door handles have been put in the wrong place, fitter couldnt fit drawers to a new unit as the wood was too large for the brackets and iv not been sent any replacements. I raised a complaint with Wickes to fix the problems and they have refused. Avoid using Wickes go for a different company!

Shane was very helpful

Shane was very helpful. I nearly left the store without purchasing what I needed but Shane approached me and asked if he could help, and subsequently I bought what he suggested. Very knowledgable and friendly man. Thank you Shane.

Very helpful lady

Visited Wickes at Stowmarket to purchase some gravel and was helped by a lovely lady who could not have been more helpful. If I was 40 years younger I would have asked this blond pony tailed lady for a date. Well done and thank you.
