Wickes - Dartford Anmeldelser 

I am a regular visitor to Wickes, particularly the Dartford store. The store layout allow easy access to products and are in obvious locations..
All the staff are knowledgeable on said products and helpful. On my latest visit I was served at the till by Lauren who found the cost for an unpriced product very quickly.

I don’t usually write these but felt that I had to today due to the superb customer service of Lauren at the Dartford Wickes.

Currently nursing a knee injury that limits what I can do and from start to finish Lauren was amazingly helpful.

Thankyou so much for helping me today including loading around 20 items in which some were quite heavy into the car.

Had what we needed and was cheaper than the other big diy shop. Clean, not busy when we went and the staff were friendly. Woman on the till Lauren was super helpful and lovely!

I’ve been using Wickes for years
Everything I need is under one roof and the staff in the Dartford branch are excellent

Prices are excellent and the staff are amazing

Went in store to have some paint mixed. The man that served me was very helpful, I had a small sample for them to scan and they fixed it exactly

Thanks to Lauren for helping me find what I was looking for. As a girl walking in to a place like wickes is a mystery 🤣- I’m just a gurlll & Lauren came through and helped me find what was needed, so polite and helpful.

Always a great shop. Lauren pointed me in the right way and served me on the till today with a great friendly attitude. Thankyou 5*

Our Wickes' rep was excellent and gave us so really good ideas of how we could improve our kitchen layout without any alterations but just by moving current units around. He explained the whole process of what would happen if we decided to go ahead with our kitchen renovation. We now have a second appointment in June to finalise our choices and hopefully be given a start date. Our current kitchen is a Wickes one and is now 15 years old, still standing but starting to look its age!!

Staff extremely unhelpful and not pleasant at all. If I could give no stars I would. Staff don't even know how to work the till to take an order. Every question is too much. So much attitude. Rubbish. Will not be spending my money here again.

Popped in store today fairly clueless as to what I needed. Asked a lovely sales girl called Lauren who was really helpful and pointed me in the right direction!

We are extremely pleased with our new shower room installed by Wicks Dartford, Karen Gordon was our helpful designer and she was brilliant. The bathroom was professionally fitted by Dan Starr and his team who did a great job. Design and fitting service were both excellent.

Just had my new kitchen installed by Wickes. I'm thrilled with it and wouldn't hesitate in recommending the team in Dartford.

We were serviced today by Ayub and I would like to say this gentleman is very patient and extremely helpful he went above and beyond to make sure we were able to order everything on our list we also used vouchers which ment it took extra time and when we were indecisive or thinking we allowed him to serve other customers this young man deserves an accommodation for his hard work patience and dedication to his job

Had so much promise ended up as a complete disaster, I would never recommend Wickes to anyone if they want their bathroom done. Felt everything up until they took our deposit was great, after that it was downhill from there. Our installer completely rushed the job, was a day late starting as he had to go back to previous job due to snagging, this should have raised alarm bells…. The finish of our bathroom is terrible, I have untold photos of how awful our bathroom looks with a hole left in our ceiling, cork/silcone over our new bathroom floor (which he laid), he has left a hole top to bottom in our wall. Corking everywhere in the bathroom is shocking, my 2 year old could do a better job. Our radiator is not attached completely to the wall, he did not attach our wall panel end completely so this comes off, he charged to change our light switch but hasn’t done this - gladly took the money for it. Shoddy job with the skirting he made, not corked half of it, done a crap job cutting. Sharp edges on the wall panel which isn’t ideal with a 2 year old - health and safety risk in my opinion. Have complained to the person in store at Wickes who said they would look into this, I have received no response since Wednesday, I understand it has been Easter holiday and entitled time off, but it would have been great to have received an email to say it’s been received and when I should receive a response. On the whole the person in store has been amazing but I feel there are too many problems with the bathroom that I want sorted asap. The installer stated he would return in May to complete the ceiling works (not sure of anything else as over the following days all the above and below issues have cropped up which cannot wait) we were more than reasonable to accept May even though it should have been completed as we have been charged but I am not waiting until May for them to complete their current job and then go on holiday. I am extremely unhappy and want this resolved. I have many pictures that I can show anyone who asks as I would never recommend Wickes to anybody. I want the job corrected asap as I will be asking for the payment plan to be placed on hold as I’m not paying for the shocking job that Wickes has done. If this is not resolved promptly or the issues that are unsafe hurt my child I will be seeking legal advice.

Update:. How soon do you reply when you have taken further details? I am getting nowhere. & still not received any response from wickes in store. I will be making a claim with the finance company very shortly as I am quite frankly appalled with the complete service overall.

It’s taken 3 weeks and counting to fit my bathroom, this is the 3rd weekend I have had now with no bathroom! Through no fault of the builders fitting it, who have under the circumstance nothing short of incredible. The delays gave all been down to Wickes and appalling customer service. It’s all great until something needs replacing or is missing from an order and then it’s 3-5 working days to sort it out (and it’s always 5 if you are lucky) not only that when you raise a formal complaint in writing you hear nothing back, so they even fail on their own 72hr complaint response policy, save yourself the grief don’t use them!

Absolutely disgraceful service had an order of 40 boxes of floor tiles and 6 bags of tile adhesive and spacers to be delivered to a new home we are moving to. Only to sit in all day and then be told that only the 6 bags of adhesive and spacers are being delivered as the delivery driver was intending on leaving them at the kerb side at the end of the road for my disabled partner to move. This is completely unacceptable and absolutely disgraceful way to carry out delivery’s to customers today was booked in for two weeks as this has been the only opportunity to have some one available to be in for the delivery. We have just got of the phone from the customer service and all the can say is sorry and we can reschedule a delivery or you can wait 14 business days for a refund. Absolutely disgusting behaviour and a disgraceful way to carry out business.

Good advice given.. Respected our property.. Polite and very knowledgeable. Answered all our questions and listen to us. Gordon was great ..

I ordered some gravel, which apparently couldn’t be delivered due to overhead cables, although I have had multiple deliveries from other wickes stores before!
Would not recommend

We have had two great design experiences with Gordon World at the Dartford branch. His knowledge of the Wickes range and his effective use of the CAD software makes for a helpful and enjoyable experience when purchasing these bigger ticket items.

We would also like to appreciate Russell Kings installation of our kitchen c/o Wickes. Russell is a highly skilled craftsperson, tidies up after every day, and has really brought our dream kitchen to life.

Both Gordon and Russell are a credit to the Wickes brand.
