Wickes - Basingstoke Reviews 

Delivery made on time. Shame the driver was unable to lift the flooring packs which I had to help bring into my house.
Tiles and flooring to be used in new kitchen fit out.

Maria G was very patient and helpful.
She was prepared to take time with me being an 'oldie'.
Thank you.

Red Dragon Kitchen Fitters
High quality of workmanship and professionalism shown throughout all the trades, planning and execution stages. I cannot rate my experience Red Dragon high enough.
From my initial (pre)appointment with Simon I was fully reassured of the work activities, schedule and when trades were expected to arrive to execute respective activities, likewise additional works were explained in full. Simon provides you with a peace of mind as well as a strong professional experience to ensure that you (as the customer) are also engaged with final ex- design decisions to elevate your final product.
All Trades personnel were also exceptional, high levels of professionalism, courteous, punctual, neat and tidy etc.
Alex (main fitter) was excellent throughout the works his levels of skill and standards of quality of work were outstanding. Likewise, Jon ((Ele), Max (Plumbing) and Alex (Painter) were also high-class and couldn’t help enough ensuring that you (as the customer) were included in any ongoing decisions as well as ensuring that you are kept informed.
I fully recommend that if you are in need of high quality trades, well organised planning and project management Red Dragon should definitely be the first number you dial.Amazing.

We needed some decorating help at the Basingstoke store. We spoke to Mark G who was very knowledgeable and couldn’t have been more helpful.

Needed some specific tiles for our bathroom project, Maria G kindly located them for me & ran through the discount process we were entitled too through our wider bathroom order. Nice friendly service, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

Went into Wickes (Basingstoke) to buy paint today but did not expect to have an Expert painter on the shop floor who carefully and patiently answered my questions. Mark G is a credit to the company. He advised me also on how to treat oak wood and gave me a heads-up for other building information based on his decades of experience. I feel I can really trust everything he says and I’m invited to call in anytime for any other information. Thank you Mark G !

Basingstoke store: is anyone aware that there is a car parking scam operating here? Park your car in the designated car park, go in, spend more than 90 minutes looking around and you will get a £100 charge slapped on you.
Well, Wickes, this is is the last time I shall ever enter your premises and I will advise those I know of the same.

I visited Wickes today 6/08/2025 to get a piece of timber to put a very large jigsaw on and I was wandering around not able to find what I wanted when a very helpful staff member called Mark G came to my assistance. He looked out the back to see if he had anything that would suit but unfortunately on this occasion he didn’t but he was very kind and helpful hence this review .

We recently had a new bathroom fitted which we purchased from Sarah Baxter from the Basingstoke store.
Sarah came to our house and took measurements and was very professional and helpful with her suggestions.
Delivery arrived on the day we were expecting it.
Our fitter was Darren we were very happy with his work,
He didn’t rush the job and made sure everything was as it should be, and was very professional and respectful of our property.
I highly recommend Sarah and Darren,

Visited store on Monday, excellent customer service from Mark G. Really helpful advise. Thank you

I would like to pass onto Martina (IC) Wicks Basingstoke my appreciation to Mark G for exceptional customer service. Mark was very helpful checking for stock, providing information on product codes to insure I received the correct item using my old outdated paint code. He also suggested many options of which resulted in my choice of product. The outcome of the end product was perfect. Thank You Mark G you are a valued asset to the Wicks team. Mr P

New En-Suite

From start to finish the whole process was smooth and efficient. Sarah Baxter was our designer, and she did a great job. We were then assigned an installer, Erwin Building Services Ltd who I highly recommend. Excellent communication, hard working and incredible job done. We now have a lovely new en-suite. Outstanding work and great experience throughout!

Great customer services from a colleague at basingstoke branch from sommer even when I got the wrong paint for a second time she was happy to sort with a smile

Many thanks to John who was extremely helpful and went the extra mile

We chose wicks from the designer Sarah Baxter as she knew exactly what I was after and a few other ideas that I hadn’t thought off. Though to the fitters the journey went smoothly so happy with the finished kitchen.

We bought our kitchen in February and Sarah Baxter did great job in the design and she has been incredibly helpful throughout the process in responding to our queries and helping to resolve supply issues. The kitchen was installed by the Red Dragon home improvements team. I found all the tradesmen very professional and helpful and the work was completed to a high standard and we are very pleased with the end result. I would be happy to recommend them to others.
I have stopped short of giving 5 stars as I had to chase Wickes with Sarah's help several times due to missing items from the initial delivery. I eventually cancelled my order for the splashback and went elsewhere as there was no sign of it ever being delivered by Wickes.

First time visit here. Had a list of what I wanted but needed help on certain items to find them instore. Two male members of staff in Basingstoke store chatting together right next to me. Politely interrupted asking where the primer was and he was obviously unhappy I had interrupted his conversation and rudely just pointed nowhere in particular and said you'll find it 'somewhere' here and then went back laughing and chatting with his store colleague.

It took some time for me to locate the item and all this time I was ignored whilst he continued his conversation with colleague. I was flabbergasted with his attitude.

I had quite a few items to locate and later politely asked another member of staff to help locate a sanding block for sand paper. She looked pretty put out I had dared to ask for help and stroppily strode to Isle and pointed not uttering one single word.

This was my very first visit to this store and I was really shocked at the way I was treated. For this to happen twice means there is something seriously wrong here with customer service and obviously I won't be returning!

Great help from Maria G… love the staff at Wicks- they’re ACE!

Had some great help from Lauren just now when ordering some material in store to be delivered to my home address. She was extremely helpful and assisted me in completing the order without any fuss. Really pleased with the process, given it was my first time of ordering a home delivery from the Basingstoke store.
