Excellent service/ quality products

Excellent service. Jean in particular is extremely helpful. Loaded our car up for us with your fantastic topsoil. Bought one bag and just had to go back for another 4!! Thought it was going to be a struggle getting it in the car, but Jean did it all for us. My husband is disabled so it’s often difficult to buy products. Looking forward to my next visit!!! Thanks again Jean.

Excellent service

What a wonderful welcome from all the staff at Wickes, Saffron Walden. Extremely helpful with our paint mixing and even when we were concerned about the slight difference in expected colour, offered a solution. Big shout out to Matt and his female colleague (apologies, didn't catch their name), who both gave us time despite the store being busy. We will be going back for sure for our future DIY projects.

I came in with my toddler and bought a ladder and wood. Team were super helpful, and amazing service. Really nice people (I think it was Reece, sorry if I got that wrong) helped me to the car carrying wood.

I spend hundreds a pounds a month on DIY kit and tool. Will be coming back.

Give them all a raise.

I love this new Wickes store

I love this new Wickes store, very clean and well-thought-out use of space. I was served by Sally today, who was very friendly and helpful.
Hoped to get some topsoil today, but sold out till Wednesday, needed for lawn repair.
Only one small negative: despite the area where the fork-lift truck was working being well-barriered off (I looked), there was an annoying recorded warning announcement that seemed to be played virtually every minute, which I found very off-putting. A friend who visited the other day commented on it too.... could there maybe be lit-up notices near the barriers instead as it did disturb the peace, or an obvious visual warning sign when one walks into the store?

Easy to locate my product in the new Saffron Walden store. Very clean and well though out. A big improvement on the old homebase it replaced. Despite utilizing the same building, they managed to maximise the space and added a second floor display area. I will definitely use it again👍

Incredible service

I don’t usually take the time to leave online reviews. But after today’s visit to Wicks saffron Walden, I needed to. A young man called Shay was amazing - he had the best customer service etiquette and impeccably polite and well mannered. He’s a young chap, early on in his working career, he’s going to go far! A real credit to Wicks (and him mum!!). Thank you Shay, for your amazing service!
