Wickes - Brighton Bewertungen 

Went to buy sand at Brighton Wickes. Mike, the guy at the till, asked did I have a trade account. I said no, been trying for years but the system didn't seem to accept my application. Mike took me through the process and got me signed up. Very friendly, helpful member of staff. Has increased my Wickes loyalty...

What a pleasure working with Sam Newnham in designing my new kitchen. He is brilliant and great to deal with face to face and good on email too. A real asset to your company. Highly recommend Sam for all your kitchen needs.

Sam Newnham was very helpful with ideas and suggestions He took on board the changes I wanted to make. He was very pleasant and accommodating.

Appalling service. The consultant took no interest whatsoever in helping me design let alone choose a kitchen. I was pretty much left to my own devices and told to go and look down an aisle that contained flat packed boxes and a few random samples. Asked relatively no questions , did the design when I asked him to and literally handed me a random quote and that was it. No follow up or close of sale. Complete waste of my time

We met with Sam Newnham out kitchen consultant who gave us a great design for a kitchen but unfortunately we had to change our plans due to building regulations and Sam was fantastic in redesigning our kitchen for us without any fuss. He has been very helpful and kept us updated about our process. I can not recommend Sam highly enough and he has gone above and beyond for my wife and I and deserves recognition. Many thanks Sam

I went to get some information about cooker hood. I been waiting for 20 minutes, just been told they don't know about it. I'm curious about it, why company sale it. Really bad attitude..I would like put 0 Star on ......

Really happy with how my first meeting with Hayley Dempster went; Hayley is a design consultant in Wickes Brighton and she had plenty of suggestions and ideas on how best to revamp my bathroom and kitchen. Looking forward to reviewing her concepts and proposals over the next few weeks.

My husband and I engaged Wickes to design and install a new kitchen and whilst I don’t have a bad word to say about the installer, we have been left with a totally unacceptable colour mismatch in a very visible area of the kitchen. Several emails and calls went ignored until I finally heard back from someone who said this had been escalated to the Complaints team. We have today heard back that they don’t intend to do anything further to assist with the problem. It’s hugely disappointing and frankly not what I expected given the price paid. I would urge potential customers to be very cautious about working with Wickes. I certainly would not use them again.

Really good experience with Sam at Hove - had prepped some ideas ahead, very easy going approach bringing experience but also listening to our ideas. My wife was worried we’d get a hard sell but it was v relaxed and easy going - more likely to get us to take things forward. Thanks Sam.

Lee was very knowledgeable and helpful in advising on new bathroom design, fixtures and fittings

We were really pleased with the choice of bathrooms at Wickes. The ordering and customer service has been great, in particular Sam Newnham, who managed our order from start to finish. Sam did an excellent job of guiding us through the process, helping with decisions, explaining our options, timelines etc. we have come away feeling informed, in control and excited for our new room.

Sam Newham the consultant was very helpful and polite he ask what sort of kitchen I wanted understood what I wanted and helped me very well and made another appointment to see what kitchens to get.

I thought I had mislaid my debit card. However I was swiftly re-united with it thanks to Jackie who had spotted where I had left it and kept it safe. I cannot thank Jackie enough for 1) saving me the hassle of applying for a new one and 2) and having to listen to my wife telling me how useless I am!

Always great friendly staff, micheal always very helpful, great deals for the trade.

This branch of Wickes is very convenient for where I live so, although I am not a tradesperson, I quite often pop in for everyday diy items like paint, sandpaper etc. I am using it much less now, though, because the level of service has gone down markedly. In addition, their prices are generally higher than somewhere like B&Q or the (now defunct) Homebase stores - and (presumably because they cater largely for tradesmen who buy in larger quantities) many of the items are only available in big sizes which are too big for most domestic users. My main quibble, though, is the attitude of the staff. The people on the tills are generally very nice but the other people working in the store are largely offhand and plainly disinterested in helping customers - ones like me, anyway, i.e. a 70-year-old female. I’m thinking they may be better with the (male) tradespeople who they consider to be their “proper” customers. Recently when I was in, I was perusing a shelf looking for a product I wanted while an employee was filling the adjacent shelf. I spotted what I wanted which was a long way back on a top shelf and asked if he could reach it for me. He could not have looked more fed up and was so unfriendly - bordering on rude, I’d say. Unfortunately, this is not the only experience of this kind. I won’t shoot myself in the foot by avoiding the store if I need something urgently as it is the nearest stockist of these type of materials. Otherwise I’ll get in the car and go somewhere a bit cheaper where the staff are pleasanter and more helpful.

i am a local builder and use wickes in hove daily
jackie is a star and most of the staff are helpful and friendly
but a young man called sam is consistently offhand and insolent. he wanders round drinking from a can and when he recently had a problem with his till he said 'for **** sake '. He does not reflect Wicke's strapline: Here to help.

How to send a business broke?
1. Have an attitude
2. Don't make eye contact
3. Be as unhelpful as possible
4. Don't say please or thank you
5. Make sure when you give the receipt to the customer you turn your back on them as you are giving the receipt
6. Give one word answers and don't explain yourself
7..When asking for payment, just say card or cash in a condescending manner and voice

So if you want your business to go broke employ the person who served me 26/04/25 12.40 04-4980

Awful experience and we are still left in limbo with a crumbling, poorly finished bathroom. Installer was uncaring and rude, took no responsibility and cut corners at every opportunity. We have a bath with no frame so it moves, a toilet glued down with sealant, a wonky sink, slanting windows, cracked grout, pealing sealant.. 6 months later and still very little help and zero follow through from Wickes. Now with the ombudsman as we gave up. Horrendous experience and still ruining our lives each day that passes.

We always find Michael helpful and patient when dealing with us, especially when we are being awkward

Wickes - Brighton. Went for a booked kitchen planning session - or so I thought. The adviser was clearly not interested right from the start. He did not introduce himself or show any interest, and did not know answers to our questions on build and materials. He then informed us that it wasn't actually a design appointment, but one hour to look at the displays. He had the charisma of someone nursing a hangover or biding his time until he leaves. We definitely won't be buying our kitchen from Wickes.
