I recently had the pleasure of receiving outstanding service from Linda and Ellie in the Derby store, From the moment I arrived, they were both incredibly welcoming and attentive. Linda went above and beyond to ensure all my needs were met, providing detailed information and assistance with a smile. Ellie was equally impressive, handling my requests efficiently and with great professionalism. Their teamwork and dedication made my experience truly exceptional. I highly recommend their service to anyone looking for a top-notch experience!

Visited the Derby store

Visited the Derby store last Wednesday, I didn't know exactly how many packs of flooring I would need for my living room, so I approached a member of staff for help. A lovely lady named Bev, who seemed extremely busy, was more than happy to take the time out to help me. I gave her the measurements of my room and she guided me through the various flooring designs and suggested the right amount of packs. I would like to show my appreciation, as my floor looks lovely and I had the exact amount I needed. Thank you Bev for your time and help, it's not always easy to ask staff for help but this lady was a pleasure to talk to.

Great customer service at Wickes Derby

Popped into Derby Wickes today to get some paint mixed and was served by a lovely young man called Marlon . He was really helpful , knowledgeable, friendly and polite and made a run of the mill visit a really pleasurable one - having been going to DIY stores for a long time and often being given really begrudging help from staff , this made a refreshing change . Thank you Marlon - the paint is great by the way !

I was treated today at wickes Derby…

I was discriminated at wickes Derby and treated so badly at wickes Derby store.

I went into store at around 18:44pm date 10th April 2025. I approach the till and requested a refund for the tap and waste I bought on clearance on Sunday 6th April 2025. I returned it as it couldn't fit my tap at home.

There were two older ladies and a young woman who shouted and treated me so badly infront of my children and ask me to "get out of the store" and refused to refund me claiming because it's on clearance they don't want to refund me.

I asked them to show on where it is written that they can't refund me and they said they don't need to show me and will not listen to me.

They three women went ahead and said the refund is at managers discretion and she can choose who to refund and who not to refund. My response was this is discrimination against me.

I am so disappointed and very shaken about the situation. My kids who are only 7 and 8 where very scared about the whole situation while they all shouted at me.

For the past few months while doing my house renovation I have spend almost £5000 on wickes and this is the treatment I get. This can be confirmed with my email address.

NOTE WE ARE NOW 12 WEEKS INTO THE COMPLAINT, 11 EMAILS, MULTIPLE PHONE CALLS AND HOURS WASTED WITH NO RESPONSE OR CORRESPONDENCE FROM WICKES.

If you are thinking of using Wickes for your bathroom I would urge you to look elsewhere. The design consultant was great however aftercare and customer service is shocking. Our shower stopped working 4 days after completion. Customer service team are terrible - no one calls back when promised. Only spoke to our assigned contact once or twice as he is never there! Now on day 4 of no shower and no closer to any resolution. First option given was to fix it ourselves!! Turns out our installer was sacked after our job and they cannot get him to return to remedy the issue. Currently calling 4 times a day chasing updates as no one calls back. Each time raising we only have one bathroom and are without facilities. Billy from customer service told me we are fine as "we have a sink" and went on to tell me to wash my children in a sink. Remedial work will apparently take 30 days just to be assigned and today on a thursdau told nothing more they can do until Monday. Absolutely appauled at the 'service' from Wickes. Save yourself the stress and look elsewhere.

A seamless and stress-free experience

I’m delighted with my Wickes kitchen that has recently been installed. From our first appointment, Tamsin was friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgable about the products. The whole process was seamless and stress-free from initial plans, ordering, redesigning and delivery-nothing was too much trouble. Thank you!

My worktops were initially left off the order for some reason. Once they were ordered i was advised they would be couriered to arrive monday 7th as the installer is already on site. I have been informed they are being delivered on 12th but the installer will be finished by then and wont be able to complete the install. The money i have spent and the service has not been the best experience.
It has been a complete mess as i am without a completed kitchen
