Wickes is a large building supplies store that is open to the public as well as to the building trade. I am not very interested in DIY but as a general rule when I get dragged into a DIY I still find things to look at or buy e.g. plants, seeds and garden stuff, or sweets! But Wickes is the exception to the rule its a serious Building Suppliers with no frills and nothing to do but wander round the endless shelves of bags of plaster, nails, paint brushes etc. I get so bored! The advantage of Wickes is that it stocks pretty much every building and DIY product you can think of and its cheaper than DIY stores such as B & Q and Homebase. read more

I went into wickes today with my friend who like me uses a stick. I asked one of your staff Dave a couple of questions, which he directed us to straight away. The trolley was rather loaded and when we got to the till I asked if it was possible for help. The guy said yes and called Dave who took the trolley put it all in the boot, then took the trolley back for us and came back with the coin. I also had three broken hub caps to dispose of and there was no space for them, he then took them to put into the trash. All the time he was with us he couldn't have been more helpful. read more
