Needed 2 100L compost bags, very heavy. Jack from Wickes put them on the trolley for me and into the car once I had paid AND took the trolley back again. Very friendly and helpful. Thank you Jack, will come again.

Bought a handless kitchen from Wickes Colchester, the design is nice to look at but the units are of poor quality. The amount of on site alterations to the standard carcus that's supplied by Wickes to make the 'handless range' is laughable. They have used standard wall and base units that have to be cut back, routered out, framing altered and panels replaced before you even start assembling the kitchen units. The original delivery was short on items which took several further deliveries to remidy. All this took weeks to get sorted. I would compare the quality of the units to a flat pack B&Q basic unit at best. There's no back rail on the base or tall units making them highly unstable until fully fitted, this causes stress on the joints and weakening the overall unit. These kitchens are the same price as competitors, Wickes are simply taking advantage of its customers. None of the issues encountered including the ridiculous amount of necessary alterations are explained prior to order payment or delivery and are only discovered when you eventually find the QR code link in one of the many manuals your given, it has push release drawers which are not great when items add weight. An incredibly overly fussy design and installation, to be avoided. I would NOT recommend a Wickes kitchen, and neither do either of the very experienced kitchen installation experts I used to install my kitchen. Do yourselves a favour and go to Wren or Homebase, both have the same range and better quality. I wish I had done so...!

Have spent thousands with Wickes over the last few weeks renovating a house. Bought a new, sealed, power tool at the Colchester branch today which when opened, was clearly second hand, covered in dust and damaged. When I went to return the manager was rude, and stroppy, throwing the previous item on the floor in front of me, and slamming the new one down on the desk. Disgraceful and embarrassing behaviour and not how you should treat your customers will never be using Wickes again.
