Wickes - Broadstairs Anmeldelser 

Great service by all the staff as always. They go above and beyond especially Jackie and Emma 10/10

New kitchen, big stress, I will say we were quite happy with the sales person very friendly maybe we felt that design aspect could have been a little more possibly and also didn’t really feel like other companies that we just purchased an expensive kitchen there was no colourful shots or information pack or anything. When I finally arrived we had to chase and chase for someone to send us the fitting link which didn’t work, in the end had to go back to store and leave with a printed one then was told it was being emailed but that never came through. All whilst waiting on a chippy at my house to do the work. Opened up the new boxes to find most of the end panels were damaged had to sit on hold for about three hours (not exaggerating) then to be told to send an email with very specific instructions, new panels turned up a week later yes whilst I had a chippy waiting to finish, opened the new panels and to find more damages to these now as we write this still sitting waiting on a reply again from Wickes.
Advice from Wickes: don’t start fitting and make sure you remove the plastic or you are taking responsibility for the damages, I did say everyone will leave the plastic on to avoid unnecessary scratches and marks while doing decorating, had a little to do and ended the call. Not great.
Two points here for the friendly sales guy and the kitchen itself being what we wanted even though the display is a reply poorly put together version of what you do get. Not a great experience. For all the discounts etc, we still ended up paying a lot more for a kitchen than we set out, I’d probably choose somewhere else if I was to do it again, howdens or wren next time for me.

Good costumer service.

ŒPlaced my order on line added the date which was a week later . On that day got a delivery of one item out of three. Got told that the other two will be coming from there suppliers. Got a date for that and one item delivered. Asked where the other item was and did not know phone the supplier and they said they had only just received the order and it would be as soon as they had transport coming my way ...this was three weeks ago from the start. Then I had a message to saying it would be delivered on the Saturday Saturday came and messaged was not on the van . That was it I cancelled . Had enough . Got what I need on Amazon with in two days will never use wicks again. Order no 702202542.

Fantastic customer service from Tom the on duty manager at you Broadstairs branch. After ordering online and then the items arriving damaged, I reported straight away to your customer services by phone which was appalling over an hour on the phone and no joy, so I popped into my local branch to see if they could help, brilliant, made my life so much easier than he needed too.
Wickes this gentleman and his colleague ( sorry I didn't get his name) are an asset to your bussiness, your customer services on the phone could learn a lot from your stores.

I visited Wickes today to return a delivery I had ordered online. I was told that the refund had to be processed by a manager, so I provided my order number and was told that the manager would deal with it and that I would receive an email confirmation as soon as the refund had been processed.

I left the store having handed over all of the goods I had paid for, despite being quite reluctant to leave them there, because I had been assured that the refund would be dealt with straight away. Given the amount of money involved and the way I was told the refund had to be processed, I had no reason to believe there would be an issue.

Several hours later, I still hadn't received the refund or any confirmation, so I called the store. I was then told by a member of staff on the phone that the manager, Claire, had not actually processed the refund.

This left me in a particularly frustrating position: Wickes had my goods, I was without the money I had paid, and the person who had told me the refund would be dealt with immediately had apparently not done so.

The member of staff I spoke to on the phone was helpful in explaining what had happened, but the overall handling of the situation by management was extremely disappointing.

Very disappointing customer service, particularly from the manager involved.

We are creating a new kitchen/diner and after several visits to various kitchen retailers we opted for Wickes. From start to finish nothing has been too much trouble for our designer Farhan Choudhury from onsite visit to the final design and through the ordering process he has advised and guided us and helped us design a great kitchen. The range of kitchens is a little overwhelming to start with but after several trips to the store we were able to pick out what we wanted in terms of style and colour the quality of the kitchen is very good and we were able to take advantage of lots of the deals they had on offer so very satisfied with both quality and price of the final kitchen we bought, plus the pressure is off as you have up to 9 months to take delivery so a good deal all round. Wickes also has a good display showroom which some other retailers don’t have so we were able to get a good look and feel for each of the different kitchen designs on offer which was a good help when it came to making the choices we made for our kitchen.

Where do i start.

Painful checking out in store as everytine i go there, there is always a queue as the staff are so slow and not enough tills are open.

I ordered multiple things the other day and the checkout man scanned all the things, i was holding a trowel of which i presented when i first walked up and he scanned. At the end he said he hadnt scanned the item in my hand. I said you scanned that first mate. He then accused me of trying to steal the item. Went through what he scanned on the computer screen and said he hadnt scanned it. So he scanned it again. I was then presented with the reciept and found the duplicate item. So showed him his mistake. No apology he just said ill refund it, which took for ever as he wanted my name address number and signature.

I had items delivered to a customers address, i wasnt there to take delivery. When i went to do the job 2 days later, All but one of the 7 cement bags had splits in them and some had set.

I done a click and collect for lvt flooring the other day. I ordered 7 packs with the underlay and a few other items. I stood at the click and collect counter for 30 miniutes, I collected and there was only 6. I didnt have my phone on me as i thought i could of made a mistake. So i went out to my van to check and i did indeed order and pay for 7. I went back in, queued up again, a further 7 miniutes. Notified the young lad the mistake. He admitted his mistake and told me to go grab one of the shelf and take it. Upon leaving when walking out the store i was stopped and asked to pay for the flooring. I told them what had happened and they asked who had authorised it. The young lad had gone. I had to walk around the store to locate him to prove i wasnt stealing. I was fuming.

Today i was due a wickes delivery between 9-1pm. 3p.m no delivery or contact. I rung and no one could tell me where the order is. The tracking stated 5 stops away all day. It turned up at 4:30, guess what only 6 of the 7 sheets of ply were there. Its held the job up and the missing item wont be delivered until wednesday.

I done a guttering and soakaway job for a customer a few weeks back. The customer choose to order the goods. AGAIN multiple items missing

I have done so many click and collect orders and its quicker to just go to the store and get the items of the shelf yourseves. No one is ever at the click and collect counter, there is always a queue. There is nothing streamlined about it at all.

Even when your queueing other customers are saying what a joke this place has become. We joke about it in the pub, wickes name is mud.

Ive been recommended a another trade place of which i intend to ise from now on, as for my own sanity i cannot go into wickes

Edit 15/10/26

Since my review i must say things have majorly improved. There seems to be more staff on checkouts, quees are smaller and staff have been really helpful and pleasant to deal with.

Also upon leaving my first review. The manager of the store contacted me directly and wickes head office.

I believe my issues have been resolved and woukd like to thank wickes staff for the improvement and brilliant job they do

Farhan from the Thanet store was so helpful. From the visit to my home, the planning of my kitchen to all the follow up questions and queries I had. He made the whole experience easier than I expected.
I found there to be a very good range of kitchens and accrued to suit my needs. Also, the fact that my goods could be kept until my builder was ready was a God send. A different supplier I had contacted previously was less than helpful in this area, my build is complicated so I need flexibility. Customer service staff have been equally helpful. I’m very impressed so far.

Excellent customer service from Farhan, he explained everything well and made things easy to understand. We came out very happy with a kitchen that fit the budget but ensured quality was still high for what we wanted.

I don't usually write reviews but on this occasion a must!

I'm a homeowner requiring a new bathroom with design and installation etc.

I had a consultation with Farhan at Wicks (Broadstairs). Wow, I was blown away. He was so patient, listened attentively and covered any concerns I had. He designed, planned, understood my specific space requirements and pointed out additional utilities that I had'nt even thought of. The final design was modern and exactly what I need.

I was also very, very impressed with quality of Wicks bathrooms.

Well done Wicks and well done Farhan

Farhan was a lovely and helpful member of staff. He provided great customer service and ensured all the questions I had were answered. Very polite and friendly.

I’d like to extend a sincere thank you to Claire and the Wickes team for supporting local community activity in June 2026. It’s fantastic to see businesses coming together to make a positive impact in our communities.

Kris was great. Friendly and knowledgeable and helped us with a few different options. It really gave us the chance to see how the kitchen would flow when finished. I would definitely recommend the service and Kris. 10/10.

Mike was so welcoming and knowledgable the first time we popped into the store, we went in knowing the overall look what we wanted but not knowing the footprint or design as our kitchen was due to be extended. This was still no problem for Mike and a few home visits and discussions later we were all set. Mike was supportive throughout and recommended the best guys for our kitchen fit too. We cannot express how great and seamless this process was for us! We absolutely love our new kitchen. Thank you to Mike at Wickes Westwood Cross and to our amazing kitchen fitters John and Jake.

We had the kitchen of our dreams designed by Mike, he gave us everything we were looking for and even some things we didn't think about ourselves that were incredibly useful. He recommended our fitters who were also top notch from dumptom park projects/Ashworth carpentry again could not fault these guys either.
100% would recommend wickes and the fitters mentioned, we are in love with our finished kitchen .
