Wickes - Widnes Reviews 

We reached out to Wickes at the end of last year to help support our small community centre, and we were generously gifted paint, rollers, brushes, tape, sheets, and other bits to help renovate the space ready for the new year. Lindsey was so helpful and all the staff who assisted us when we came to collect the donation went above and beyond to help. We are so grateful for the support we received from Wickes and could not have afforded to complete the necessary renovations without their help so we owe a big thankyou!

We recently had a complete new bathroom designed and fitted by Wickes. Lyndsey Matthews was really friendly and knowledgeable and helped us with the whole process from start to finish. Phil Langley the contractor also did a great job with the fitting and was considerate and reliable. We were very happy with the overall communication and standard of work and would recommend to others.

Ordered a complete shower in store with Dave Francis. He was extremely patient and talked us through all the whole process clearly and precisely. Clearly explained the options available for each element of the install, without any pressure, often going for cheaper options which he felt were the best result. Showed us the items in situ in store and again went for cheaper options that he felt suited the install.

Recently purchased a kitchen from wickes. From start to finish Dave Francis was very helpful and knowledgeable which helped make our experience less stressful!! Dave went above and beyond, there should be more people like this! And we are very grateful ☺️ of all the help he did give us so thank you very much!!

Following my visits to several kitchen stores I discussed my requirements with Lyndsey Matthews at Wickes Widnes.She was friendly, helpful and discussed a range of possibilities for my new kitchen. It was most helpful to see the range in store so I could compare styles and select units that would fit my requirements. Lyndsey led me through this process answering my questions fully. Flooring and wall tiles were viewed against the units I selected so a complete picture was formed. Lyndsey was knowledgeable and professional throughout the design process. She covered all aspects of the installation in store and during the home visit. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others. I hope the install of the new kitchen goes as well.

I've moved into a new home with a very dated kitchen. I started to look at various companies when a TV advert mentioned Wickes.
It was very easy to book an appointment online. I was contacted by Dave Francis to confirm the timing of the visit.
Dave was on time, so amiable and helpful. We chatted about my needs in my very tiny kitchen. He took laser measurements and said I'd have a design the next day. We booked an instore appointment to look at the design and kitchens for colour ideas.
I got a 3D design the next day as promised. So clever! It looked great. On my visit to the store Dave spent time with me showing me the types of cupboard he'd included and showed me various options for doors, worktops, sinks and taps.
He made sure I was happy with the design and showed me a full breakdown of cost.
He gave me a few days' thinking time. There was no pushiness, no pressure. I said I knew I might make my decision after the end of a sale period but Dave said they would honour the prices.
I arranged to go back in store to sort the purchase. This ended up being a long visit as I wanted to use my work benefits to get further discount. But Dave made me a brew, sat patiently and helped me sort it all out.
It has been easy to book delivery online and I haven't yet had the kitchen installed.
But the service I have received from Dave has been brilliant. He was true to his word, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. This service should not be the exception but I'm thrilled with Wickes so far.
Also in store they have LOADS of kitchens on show. Helps you to visualise and give you ideas.
Can't wait for it to be fitted now!

Fantastic service our design consultant Ben Steels-Chambers was both knowledgeable and very helpful.
And would recommend Wickes to family and friends.

Wickes Widnes - New Kitchen
Following on from the excellent kitchen design with Lyndsey Matthews we now have our beautiful kitchen fitted by Kevin Bingham and his team.
Nothing was to much trouble for Kevin, with tweaks here and there readily accommodated.
A big thank you to all at Wickes Widnes.

Ben our designer made a vision into a reality 😁 Ben is so friendly, helpful with a fountain of knowledge. He guided us, advised us & gave us everything we asked & more.. Thank you so much!!!! 10/10 🌟👏👏

From browsing in the showroom to being booked into appointment to designing the kitchen and all follow up we were really well taken care of day Dave and Aimee from the Widnes store. This is an incredibly friendly, patient and importantly for us non pushy environment where we have received excellent advice, flexibility and design services with lots of variants and flexible options being shared. I would recommend Dave’s design expertise, as, based on my previous experience he offered intelligent and smart solutions that solved challenges and resulted in a design that was brilliant and not anticipated - I would absolutely recommend the widnes store for design services and Dave and Aimee specifically!

Hi we got are kitchen designed at wickes from a designer called Ben he was great and very knowledgeable. And listened to exactly what we wanted and provided it in the design. And kept it with our budget.

100% Happy with Kyle
He helped my daughter while looking for a kitchen Thank you Kyle He is an asset to the company x

Customer service was fantastic . I was after a certain pain that the store had in stock and they kept it aside for collection and they called me twice to confirm collection.
Angela was fantastic

I have no words for the awful service that I have (not) received from Wickes in Widnes. It was a bathroom renewal. It's been a month since they started (on the 4th of November) and I still don't have a bathroom. I was threatened by the installer and Wickes didn't care at all. They highly recommended to let that man into my house again if I wanted to finish this quickly, which I (of course) refused. It's been a month now, people keep coming and going, they look at what's left to do and say that it's way much more than they were told by Wickes, and then they disappear. I'm classified as disabled according to the law, I have a young child and I haven't had a bathroom for a whole month. I was told that since I have a toilet downstairs, this is not classified as urgent. Apparently, washing yourself or your child is not essential. I can't take this anymore and no one answers my questions, they keep sending me template emails which tell you nothing at all. The project was completely ruined and I'm going to hate the final result (if this is ever finished). Avoid at all cost if you value your mental health. Definitely not worth the price. They completely ruined Christmas for us, as we have to constantly change plans to suit their needs for no reasons, as they haven't done anything yet. I'll have to explain to a young child why we can't spend Christmas with our family this year thanks to Wickes, as our family is abroad and I can't just book a flight for us and leave the house in such awful conditions, with people planning to come to assess the job every week with very short notice. This is getting ridiculous. I'm paying the price for Wickes not being able to find professional and honest people as subcontractors, as they let into your house people who threaten and intimidate you instead

Two exceptionally good workers, very pleasant all the time they was here. Good time keepers and the workmanship was excellent. Finishing result of the kitchen is outstanding. Would definitely recommend

Came in to look at bathrooms , was greeted by a lovely guy David Francis. We told him what we were after , has measurements with us but to be sure David offered to come and check them for us , glad he did as we had measure wrong . Made an appointment with him to design our new bathroom. David gave lots of advice about different things and shown us different setups . We choose which one we wanted . David told us everything we needed to know about delivery. Everything was delivered when it should have been . There was no damaged or missing parts which is a bonus . All in all we had a great experience with Wickes Widnes . Would highly recommend them.

Firstly, the positive. Bathroom was designed by Lyndsey Matthews from the Widnes store. Great experience, would highly recommend Lyndsey.
The bathroom was delivered on time and everything went smoothly. Again, good work from the Widnes team.
The negative. The quality of the installation was possibly the worst we have ever experienced from a tradesman. Grouting and sealing were both awful. Numerous chipped tiles. All 'cut' tiles are terrible with chipping on every one. One cracked tile. These were 600x600mm tiles. Radiator wobbling and not secured. Shower tray not central. Floor creaking in a disturbing way. End piece of units incorrectly cut and the fitter covered the mistake with sealant. There were numerous other issues, too many to mention, including a major leak during the installation (I had to repaint a wall in the hall due to water damage), and the varnish on our oak staircase being stripped away when the plastic protection covering was removed. We refused to sign the job completion form.
We went through the normal complaint procedure, and after a visit from the area manager, and subsequent emails, it was agreed that the bathroom needed regrouting and resealing, some tiles replacing, and one or two other items addressing. No mention of some of the issues. (eg shower tray and creaking floor). We were also asked to sign the job completion form in order to reallocate a new installer. We actually believe that this form needs signing in order for Wickes to activate the credit agreement and start taking money from us for this awful job. This form only gives 3 options to tick, none of which are appropriate to our situation. Because of some of these issues, we requested a phone call from Wickes, and gave them a couple of dates to call us. Both dates have passed (two weeks ago), and we are still waiting to find out how we resolve our issues, and get the bathroom we expected.

From design to installation we felt we were well looked after, we not only had a kitchen fitted but also knocked into two rooms all tradesmen were coordinated by our fitter Arthur Miller. David Francis at Wickes Widnes designed a beautiful kitchen for us. Nothing was too much trouble. All involved were very professional, quick, efficient and friendly.

Absolutely fantastic service provided by Kyle! Couldn’t have helped my mum any more, getting a trolly and carrying a big heavy unit to the car! Thankyou

I shop in Wickes (Widnes) a lot and I always find the staff to be very friendly and helpful, especially Angela and Julie. I would give this store 10/10 for customer service.
