Wickes - Alton Bewertungen 

I’ve been visiting wickes in Alton for 3 years and Guyo was the first person to offer me a trade card, which I am very grateful for! He’s was extremely helpful and kind

A mystery in terms of their stock range

I learned a long time ago that most staff have very limited knowledge of/interest in stock. I understand that - to a point. But only so many blank looks make sense when it comes to product sales. But I shouldn't blame ignorant staff. One out of 4 took an interest and tried to find out what I was looking for - which is probably about average. A long time ago I bought a Wickes bathroom thumbturn and release and my own ignorance of detail comes into play now. I have fitted a number of mortice locks and a couple of the kits with indicators and external opening when the bolt is on, but, as I said, I have a part set and need, as the packaging says, a bathroom mortice lock - with a smaller diameter spindle and bolt, etc. They still sell a version, have a row of them in the store I went to. They also have a line or two of ordinary locks, etc. Not a sign of the smaller parts I need. The speculation from staff was that they would only aim to meet the needs of people who simply wanted to change the visible parts. And why on earth would the people at Wickes responsible for stock think that was a good thing? Not that we know. I can't rule anything out, but is it competent to offer a part and not the component that gives it any point unless there is an existing installation and someone changes that for random reasons. Wickes make no sense to me. They have some very good products and sometimes decent pricing, but they don't seem to be serious at times like this. It WAS NOT the Alton Way branch, that was generated by the input process and I didn't correct it as I probably should have in hindsight. Maybe they randomly do have the

Wickes have reached out to me to tell me that the stock is available - but not yet where. In the mean time I have bought a mortice lock from Toolstation - but I do need to get a spindle as they don't sell them apparently

Many thanks to Guyo today!
Came in with my two children and had no idea what I was looking at. He was very helpful and friendly and was good with the girls! Defo have the confidence to go back into store again as always hard when you have the children with you. Thanks again Guyo 20 stars for you 😊

Now to test the stairs and pick which colour!

All the best,
Chloe

What very good shopping experience.Peter the very helpful assistant made buying the materials I needed a pleasure

I had a few nightmare DIY projects that needed to be completed over New Year's. Jon was incredibly helpful in recommending what I needed to do and arranged a very speedy delivery service when I realised one of my purchases wouldn't fit in my car!

Thanks Jon and the rest of the Wickes Team in Alton. You have been amazing with me for the past few years.

Thanks to Guyo I will come back to this store. He was cheerful, friendly and helpful.
Previous I've not had very good experiences in this store but now I will not hesitate to come back. It's proof on how important good customer services it. Well done Guyo!

Thanks to Guyo for his help. Appreciated

Went into Alton store for some supplies meet Guyo, wow, what a friendly happy chap! Lovely smile and such a welcoming person. Showed me the way to a few items and even took the time to set me up a trade card which I have been meaning to do. Thank you so much. A welcoming smile and friendly approach really did make my day. Thank you.

Wonderful service & top advice from Jon at the Alton store. Jon is always happy to take a couple of minutes to explain things & help me get the right things for the job.
Thanks

Wonderfully helpful and friendly staff - especially Guyo who carried everything to the car for me.

We are renovating our first home and are regular customers now! Guyo was particularly helpful during our last visit, helping me set up and account and pointing me in the direction of everything I needed. See you again soon!

I don’t normally do reviews but the man on checkout today (Guyo) was just great … made me come away with a smile. Just what customer service should always be.

Dealt with employee Guyo today, he was so helpful and informative with our questions. Wonderful man!

Giving 5 stars for excellent customer service from George who was unwaveringly patient with us and helped us with our purchases

Staff are generally really helpful and although it's a smaller store they usually have what I need. Guyo is particularly friendly and goes out of his way to help you find things.

Full marks to Guyo in the Alton Wickes this morning who saw me and sensed i needed some help and guided me over to the correct aisle. He was friendly and helpful and again he was at the checkout and was engaging and made my day with his positive attitude.

Thank you Guye, very helpful

We were in store for a bulk purchase of gravel bags and we were able to get everything we needed. We were assisted by Guyo who was extremely helpful and went out of his way to make sure we had everything, he even helped load it onto our van!

As a frequent customer of Wickes I hadn't realised that I could get a discount by signing up to the Trade Pro app. I was served by Guyo who made the whole process quick and simple and saved me some money. Thanks Guyo.

Came into the store and Guy came over in a friendly manner to ask if he could help. Guy was fantastic with his advice and listened to what I needed.
