Will is always so helpful from helping me find things to wheeling heavy goods out for me. Wickes Preston is a very friendly store which makes shopping there much nicer.

Twice bo contact made by Design person

For the 2nd time the representative didn't contact me.

Its frustrating when 1 representative ruins the reputation of a company.

Ill have to shop elsewhere for my kitchen and bathroom renovations.

Contacted customer services and nor had a reply since Saturday 8th, missed appointments were 31st July and 7th August 2026 scheduled for 8pm.

Emails reminding me of my appointment and then hoping I enjoyed my appointment just make the whole experience rediculous when nobody concerned me and there was no appointment on 2 consecutive weeks.

Kitchen over 3 months late!

Kitchen planned to be fitted in one week took 17 and still not finished. Communication a total joke! Repeatedly called customer service to complain with weeks passed before a response. Repeatedly asked to talk to a manager ,they never called me back.Left for 2 weeks with no electric sockets working as the tiler went missing. Kitchen fitter promised on 12 occasions to turn up to address issues and never did. Offer of compensation of £450 when spent 14k on a kitchen.Currently I have doors that have dropped and not level a dripping tap and kick boards which should not of been fitted but have as I’m awaiting a new floor to be fitted (from another company I may add)Never again will I use Wickes DIY. Not even to buy a can of paint. This company has zero customer service skills. They take your money on day one of the order and offer 3% refund when kitchen is not complete and 3 months late. The worst customer care I have ever received. Would not recommend Wickes DIY to change a lightbulb never mind fit a kitchen. Take my advice and shop elsewhere. They do not care.

Fab customer service

We visited the Preston store today to purchase some flooring. The store had everything we needed and our server (Will H) was helpful and friendly with a great sense of humour. Fab customer service.

Fantastic Kitchen Design Experience

We had our kitchen design service at the Preston branch, and the experience was fantastic. Kimberley Balch was such a bubbly, energetic, and professional designer who made the whole process easy and enjoyable for us. She was incredibly informative throughout every step, taking the time to answer all of our questions and making sure we felt confident with our choices. We would definitely recommend Kimberley to anyone looking for a great kitchen design experience. Thank you for all your help!

Designing our kitchen alongside Adam

We’ve just designed our new kitchen with Adam and couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From our very first chat in the showroom, he was professional, friendly and incredibly helpful. He came out to measure up the very same day, and within just two days we were back in the showroom reviewing the designs — which were fantastic.

Adam really listened to what we needed and worked within our budget without compromising on style or quality. When we asked for a couple of tweaks after seeing the visuals, nothing was too much trouble. He updated everything on screen there and then, and the appliances he selected for us were spot‑on for how we live.

Thank you, Adam — we’re absolutely delighted with the design and can’t wait to see it come to life in a few weeks.

Damaged internal oak doors

Ive recently bought some doors from wickes. Several of the doors arrived damaged but one of the doors in particular I couldnt salvage as the frosted glass was all damaged and the frosted film wasnt repairable. I spoke with wickes and sent them all the pictures etc that they need and they assured me another company who they buy them off would be in touch within 72 hours to arrange swapping the door with a new door and taking the old one away. Now nearly a week later and ive still not had any response from either.
Please could somebody get in touch as this was a £1200 order and each day without the replacement door is costing me a lot of money through no fault of my own.

Wickes order number - Order Number: HY-690164203

The damaged door is -

Sarcastic and unhelpful staff member

I was short of time trying to find something at the Preston branch today and when I couldn't, I approached a member of staff for help. Sarcastically she said 'Didnt you see it on the first isle?' and left me to it, without even pointing to the correct isle. Eventually found it, but I was so cross, I went over the road to the Dulux Decorator Centre, who were amazing and located the product I wanted immediately. Will never go to Wickes again. Sarcastic and unhelpful woman. Needs retraining.
