The safety of both our customers and colleagues is critical and we wanted to highlight the measures in place to help protect everyone.

Updated 26th April:

As a number of areas have recently been identified as high risk for the new Coronavirus variant, we are taking some additional steps to ensure our colleagues and customers can remain safe whilst shopping in Wickes stores in those impacted locations.

These stores will remain open as they presently are with the current restrictions and social distancing measures in place but we will be adding the following safety restrictions:

  • We will limit the number of customers in store to 20 maximum at any one time
  • We will restrict the number of customers shopping together to 2

We thank you in advance for understanding and we remain committed to doing all we can to keep colleagues and customers safe when shopping in our stores.

We will limit the number of customers in our stores to a maximum of 20 at a time. A queue system will be in place.

Our delivery slots are currently available up to 7 days in advance. We release additional delivery slots daily.

You can place an order using our Click & Collect service and collect your order within 1 working hour.

All confirmed deliveries remain booked in.

Our showrooms are now open. If you prefer to browse from home, use our online showroom tour, or book a free free virtual design appointment.

All Showroom kitchen and bathroom deliveries and installations are continuing as planned. *Please note, installation restrictions apply within Scotland.

COVID-19 - Safe Ways of Working Risk Assessment

During the COVID-19 emergency and beyond, the safety and wellbeing of our people, our customers and the communities we serve will always be our priority, and remains at the heart of our decision making process here at Wickes, which is part of Travis Perkins plc.

To support the UK Government’s encouragement of construction and building activity as an engine for economic recovery, we have a critical role to play in the supply chain. In order to protect colleagues and customers, and ensure our business can remain open, we have adapted our ways of working, and have been working with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), other Government departments, trade associations and others to develop guidance for colleagues, customers and other stakeholders.

We continue to follow the latest official guidance and carefully monitor the COVID-19 situation. We remain committed to working closely with Government, customers and the wider industry to maintain safety and wellbeing.

Staying COVID safe in 2021

If anyone has concerns about our safe working arrangements, please raise them with the local manager or email customer.relations@wickes.co.uk

Our COVID-19 Risk Assessment

In line with sound Health and Safety practices we have undertaken a COVID-19 risk assessment, taking into account how we operate whilst continuing to maintain the safety and well-being of our colleagues, customers, suppliers and others involved in our day-to-day activities. Our assessment is available here and will be reviewed on a regular basis in light of new guidance and any feedback from relevant stakeholders.

Our Assurance Arrangements

We have arrangements in place to ensure that our businesses comply with our Social Distancing Principles and follow the three-lines of defence principle:

1st Line of Defence - Local Manager Self Assessment and Line Manager Reviews, in place since June 2020
2nd Line of Defence - Reviews of sites carried out either remotely or in-person by our HSE Team. All sites reviewed in 2020 with further round of checks taking place across 2021
3rd Line of Defence - An independent review of our COVID-19 Secure assurance arrangements (completed June 2020)

Please note, we cannot amend your order once it has been confirmed. You can track your order here.

Can I cancel my order?

You can cancel an order up until it is delivered. Please be aware that if you cancel your order with less than 24 hours’ notice, the delivery may still be attempted, but you will have the option to cancel.

To cancel your order, call 0330 123 4123 and select option 3, then select 1 for ‘Cancellations’.

Alternatively please refuse the delivery at your doorstep on delivery. The items will be returned to us and you can expect to see your refund in your bank account within 7 to 10 days.

You can also return the item directly to your nearest store.

How do I get a refund?

If you have already contacted us regarding a refund, a member of our team will be in touch with you to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

If you would like a refund on a recent item please contact 0330 123 4123 and choose the 'After Sales' option.

Alternatively, you can return the item directly to your local store.

What do I do if my order is late, has failed or has been missed?

If your delivery is coming from DX and is late, has failed or been missed, our partner will attempt to redeliver the next working day.

If your order is not coming from DX please contact our customer service team on 0330 123 4123 and they will organise your redelivery.

Can I amend my order?

Due to the current volume of deliveries we are unable to add, remove, change the date or delivery address of your order. If you need to change your delivery address your whole order will need to be cancelled and a new order placed online.

If you need to add something to your order, you will need to place a new order online. Please note we cannot link the extra delivery onto your existing order, therefore there will be two separate deliveries and delivery charges may apply depending on the order type and value.

If your delivery date is no longer convenient, our delivery team will either leave your items safely or take your items back to the depot and call you to arrange an alternative delivery date.

For all other post-delivery related enquires please contact 0330 123 4123 and choose the option for ‘After Sales’.
