I booked an appointment with Adam Wells…

I booked an appointment with Adam Wells in Leicester, who was supposed to have a look at my kitchen and help draw up a design for this. He called on the phone, and what I got from the conversation was someone who was not really helpful. He later came to the property and then said that if there is a parking restriction, he would be leaving. He left without helping me with my kitchen. I am very disappointed and will be using Selco instead

I had a great experience with Wickes Hemel Hempstead from start to finish. The kitchen design process was smooth and the final kitchen looks fantastic.

A special thank you to Deepa who was professional, knowledgeable and very helpful throughout the project She made the whole process straightforward and was always happy to answer my questions.

I would definitely recommend Wickes Hemel Hempstead to anyone looking for a new kitchen.

Usually good, but delivery through XDP is hopeless

I've bought hundreds of items from Wickes over many years, and my experience has generally been good. However, I'll probably never have anything delivered from them again because they use a delivery company called XDP, and they're hopeless. Their tracking system doesn't work, they don't deliver when they say they will, and it's impossible to have any kind of communication with them. To be honest, getting to speak to Wickes when things go wrong isn't much easier.

I delivered stock to Nottingham North branch and I was met by very friendly staff, beginning with yardman Ben K. and other lady I don't know the name of. When I was let in to use a toilet I walked by another friendly lady carrying stock and another one by the till. I wish all customer experience was so smiley like this one. Keep it up.

Terrible customer service.

Terrible customer service.

We bought a lawn mower from Wickes in November 2025. It worked for only about two weeks before it developed a fault and had to be repaired. Recently, it stopped working altogether, so we sent it to Genpower for another repair.

Despite the mower having been faulty almost from the beginning, we are now being charged for both the repair and the shipping. To make matters worse, we've been told they will keep the mower if we don't pay.

This has been an extremely frustrating experience. I will never use Wickes again.

Karen Byrne - Wickes experience

Karen Byrne made our Wickes experience such a breath of fresh air. She designed the perfect kitchen/diner/media wall for our home.
Always professional yet a great personal touch. Her experience echoed out and her passion and energy was inspiring. Even the follow up on issues was outstanding.
This is our 3rd kitchen purchase from Wickes for our houses and have been very satisfied with the service and outcome. Thank you Karen!

Attended today to purchase some flooring. I wasn't sure on exactly how many boxes I would need. I spoke with a member of staff who identified herself as Faz. Faz took me to her desk in the kitchen design area. I gave her my floor measurements, she quickly came back with the required packs required for my task.
So professional and friendly, cheers
