Wickes - Maidstone Bewertungen 

We visited Wickes in Maidstone and the kitchen designer Richard Moloney was fantastic. He advised us all the way through our journey and kept us informed of any updates. The communication between Richard and ourselves was easy and when we had a slight problem with the order by missing two items Richard was able to assist us until it was resolved. The kitchen fitters were also fantastic and we are very pleased with our new amazing kitchen.

Bad got 1 item from my order main part missing and been marked as delivered phone lines not open as the delivery arrived rather late so emailed him instead that said it takes 72 hours for a response. Yeah I needed my items tonight so that I could start on the weekend but they have not arrived as scheduled and a as paid for

Prompt checkout with happy and chatty cashier!

Made a purchase at the Maidstone store and Jim was on the till, he was super helpful.

I had a great experience at Wickes thanks to Jim. He was very helpful when I was choosing paint—patient, knowledgeable, and he made the process simple. His advice gave me confidence in my choice, and I left the store feeling well looked after.

We have had nothing but problems with Wickes. 

Firstly they had to refund us £500 because they tried to bill us over the agreed amount, then we had to get additional floor tiles because they had the floor and wall measurements round the wrong way. 

Now, our shower is lifting our floor tiles and leaking into our living room and first floor because they didn't waterproof our shower. Then to make matters worse, they are now hiding behind warranty. Fraud and deceptive practices are not covered by warranty in the contract. Neither is negligence.

To add to this... They are hiding behind their warranty. How can they claim that the sealant is out of warranty when the sealant was clearly never installed in the shower in the first place? As per the testimony of a third party contractor that we got in to inspect their work.

Do not use Wickes kitchen service. It's a complete lottery as to what fitters you will get. The fitting service we received was poor with lots of problems around the poor quality finishing and having to pay additional costs to fitters for work that should have been done in the first place. Customers should be aware that complaints to Wickes fell on deaf ears. Wickes made it clear any issues with the fitters they appointed to fit our kitchen was nothing to do with them. Caveat emptor!!!

Addendum: After weeks of complaining to Wickes directly about the poor quality workmanship of the kitchen fitters they appointed someone from Wickes has responded to my review within an hour of publishing it. If only Wickes were as keen to solve problems as it is on platitudes and public relations. Again as a professional landlord I can only warn customers to avoid this company. Caveat emptor!

I use the store infrequently and was unsure where a few items were stocked. One of the employees (Jim) was extremely helpful and friendly

Jim was very helpful at the till and helped me with what I needed. Very pleased!!

I visit Wickes Maidstone most mornings & the staff; Kevin, Pete, Marie & Tracy, are always friendly.
The store opens at 7am which is great for picking up everything you need for a days work.
Tradepro discount is what keeps me happy. Doesn't matter how much you spend each month to keep the 10% discount.

Visited Wickes in Maidstone today to get materials for a DIY project. It stocked everything I needed but the really amazing part was just how helpful a member of the team called Jim was, his knowledge and experience is a credit to this branch and I will be back soon. Thank you!

I'd purchased 20 slabs and asked if anyone could assist, a lovely man from the Maidstone branch immediately helped me and fully loaded the car before helping another gentleman carry a return into store. Perfect customer service Jim, I really appreciated the help.

Very helpful staff at the Maidstone Wickes. Jim helped me with my cart and put my heavy good into my boot for me. Thank you.

I have recently started renovating my house and was looking to get a range of paint. A sales assistant called Jayden was happy to help and talked me through all the different paints I would need and answered all my questions. He displayed a wealth of knowledge and was very polite to my lack of expirence.

Kevin is a star, very helpful.

Jim at Maidstone made it easy for me to apply for a trade account. Thanks Jim

I recently had the pleasure of being assisted by Jim at Wickes, Maidstone and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of service he provided.
He is a credit to the team at Wickes and I will definitely be returning thanks to the outstanding service he provided.

Highly recommended!

UPDATE 15 Oct 2025

I have updated the rating following a gas leak from the installed hob. It has been over 50 days since the gas leak and I have been without a kitchen hob. Wickes customer service continue to drag their feet with installing a replacement and providing the legally required electrical and gas certificates. The Maidstone store has tried to assist but to no avail. I do not understand why Wickes continue to tell me someone will contact me to arrange a date but no one does I continue to chase. Very disappointed and frustrated.

I was planning a major house update, which included new kitchen, bathroom, ensuite and downstairs cloakroom. I decided to make an appointment with Maidstone branch and Michael Girscher was my Wickes consultant. Michael was extremely helpful and at the house visit came up with a number of excellent suggestions to maximise the space and design. After I placed the order couple of issues occurred re delivery. Michael came to the house and made phone calls to resolve these problems and to reassure me. Excellent customer service. I would also like to mention Dan Starr and his installation team. They were brilliant and completed the projects ahead of schedule and to excellent quality. They were mindful of neighbours, the restrictions of the area and removed rubbish on a near daily basis. This was was extremely important. Well done to Michael and Dan. The finished projects look amazing and would recommend Wickes from my experience of the Maidstone team.

Jim kindly helped me purchase 5 bags of
Derbyshire Peakstone MIDI bags . Very heavy
Thank you for loading my trolley and putting them in my car. Great Customer Service Thank you
All done with a Smile.

I popped into to get some paint and the worker Jadon was extremely helpful and attentive. I left very satisfied with my experience as he was full of advice while he mixed up my paint. He also let my child watch who was very excited about the process.
