“Had the kitchen fitted 3 years ago & have nothing but problems since. Installation took 4 months because they were doing other jobs at the same time. One day the fitters knew Head office was visiting us & I had 6 fitters in my tiny kitchen. The tiler had to leave. Got a refund on the plastering as it was rubbish. They put silicone sealant in a hole instead of plaster & had to come back as it could not be painted. Wrong hinges on doors,which needed replacing. Twice my floor tiles have cracked because the floor isn't level. 6 months ago the electrics blew because they hadn't made the wires behind the cupboards water tight. Just left on the floor. I am currently without any water or heating as,last night, a pipe they had capped, with a cheap & nasty push on cap, came off and hot water was spilling all over the floor. Couldn't turn the water off as the cupboard where the stopcock is wasn't cut enough to allow you to turn it. Had to go out in the street to turn it off. I could go on but won't.”

“Workmanship not the standard I would expect. 5 year guarantee pretty much excludes everything. Cupboard doors have fell off and screw holes won’t hold the hinges. Have a B&Q kitchen you will regret it!”

“Bought a flat pack wardrobe reasonable price until we got to the till where that price was for 1 box but that was 2 boes so price double on trying to assemble the door was badly damaged and screws missing on phoning the store and eventually getting an answer we were told they would call back ..they didn't... I took the damaged part back to the store were I was expected to open up other boxes to find replacement only to find them all damaged bar 1 Staff on the phone were not helpful or on the customer service deck (Homebase for me in the future)”

“Delivery and customer service was extremely dissappointing. Delivery is advertised as 7 days, so when the nearest delivery slot offered for wardrobe doors was 15 days I called and was told there was shortage of vans and this was all they could do. I e-mailed customer service hoping they would help or at least offer a voucher but just got the same, basically saying just live with it. I am trying to get ready for work without mirrored doors, manageable but not great. I've also been needing a small amount of tarmac - £11 worth in a sac, that they will only sell through bulk delivery with a £30 elivery fee, however with the wardrobe doors I thought this would be a great time to orfer, doors do not count as a bulk delivery and I could not combine! What a frustrating company and their customer service definately needs improved.”

“I ordered an item yesterday and chose the “click and collect” option. The total cost of the item was £1.87. I drove a round trip of nearly 60 miles, only to be told that I could not have my goods as I had no ID! I’m am 61 years old and didn’t think for one minute that ID was needed for something that I had already purchased! The young man on the till was obviously embarrassed but couldn’t do anything due to the data protection act! What is this country coming too?”

“I have shopped at B&Q in Chard a number of times now. All the staff have been unfailingly polite and helpful, whether ordering a paint colour not usually stocked, or advising which Christmas tree would be best for me. I have found their customer service to be far superior to some of the larger stores and now shop at the hard store for preference.”

“Two problems over last few weeks 1. Stockport Store: Shelves for wood screw and bolts completely empty. When I asked a member of staff, they said - It has been like that for weeks because we are waiting for a new supplier. They then said there had been a mix up with the proposed supplier and could be a few more weeks before we have any screws at all !!. How can a DIY have no scews or bolts at all. Surely they should phase in a new supplier like everbody else. How am supposed to fasten the B&Q wood together? 2. In July I stopped receiving email receipts and money off vouchers. After several phone calls and mails, B&Q help desk said I had opted out of receiving Marketing Info on the Card web site. When I said I hadn't and had checked it about 10 since July, and even got a new card. They said I was wrong and I had opted out. What is going on here. They don't conceive it could be a software error on their part, especially after one help desk person said that a lot of other people had the same problem after the changes to the Data Protection act.”

“My own experience with B & Q Customer Service in Nottingham has been excellent! After visiting the store to purchase a desk light and bulb I discovered that I had been given the wrong bulb. When I phoned them up Customer Service was apologetic and really helpful. The Head of the Lighting Department, Gillian, phoned me back. She was extremely helpful and really went above and beyond the call of duty of help in a way that is so rare these days. Good customer service is in short supply with so many businesses and I applaud B & Q for their excellent service. I will certainly be using them again. Many thanks Gillian and B & Q.”

“Worked started Wednesday 16th May, two days late. We were informed this now necessitated weekend work as the work top survey was booked for the following Monday. The fitter phoned the electrician from site Wednesday AM & informed him the job was starting, the electrician was too busy to attend that week. The fitter spoke to him about B&Q's policy for the electrician to first and second fit. Work commenced and the fitter under took all first and second fit electrics of sockets and under unit lighting with the exception of the cooker circuits which were later connected at the consumer unit by the electrician. I was aware this was not best practice. We had pre arranged guests at the weekend end and were out all day Saturday. When we returned my partner turned on the kitchen light which did not work. She tried the second (two way switch) and got a mild electric shock. We spoke to the fitter immediately, he said it could not be him because if he had drilled a cable the RCD would have tripped ! Did he know the RCD was operational or covered all circuits ? We were left to investigate the fault ourselves. I was unable to find the problem, I sort help from a neighbour and my brother by phone , a qualified. electrician. We had been promised by our fitter the electrician would visit Wednesday or Thursday of the following week, I made safe the live switch and chased B&Q Tuesday or Wednesday to confirm the electricians appointment. After a few calls to B&Q our fitter phoned me, he was clearly quite annoyed I had phoned B&Q and was rude and quite aggressive. I was angered by his call and phoned B&Q to complain. The electrician was now booked for Friday after noon, after some time they found a wall unit mounting had indeed been screwed through the light cable causing the switch to become live. The problem was resolved, the cooker connected & the installation tested and certified. The complaint was dealt with poorly from beginning to "end"”

“Hour and a half in store. Proof of purchase (bank statement) not accepted by staff due to data protection laws. Asked to phone head office on my mobile. 3 calls later told they would email in 48 hours and yet they still have not. Product was faulty so statutory rights are not fulfilled.”

“Appalling after service after 14 years of kitchen fitting and today we finished fitting a B&Q kitchen. Absolutely junk. This is a company that should be band from selling kitchens. They told us the designer had been finished he was still there today. Cost my coy 2 extra days sorting out his mess.”

“Everything but mainly because you use the delivery company DX, it's such a sorry saga and too long to actually go into here but needless to say we had already spent over £1000 on a kitchen and because of all the problems we had, we cut our loses, took out what we had already fitted and have gone elsewhere. We managed to get a refund of about £300 on the unused items we eventually got delivered but have lost about £500 all told. But hey, not all bad news, we got £50 for all our trouble - you couldn't make it up!”

“I had a bathroom fitted and from the time we made a booking there were a number of issues. We were told that they would start the job in 6-8 weeks from confirmation, they then booked the job in for 16 weeks later! We had some incorrect items being delivered prior to the fitting, some damaged items and the quality of the work is shoddy - the job is still not complete almost 18 months later. I have lost count of the number of time I have tried to call customer service - messages left AND emails sent, none of which have been followed up by B&Q just now resulting in a bathroom with poorly fitted tiles, an exposed wire from the flooring, a toilet seat that was never installed correctly and has subsequently broken.”

“Kitchen being fitted from today. Gutters arrive to inform B and Q are discontinuing fitting and they have not provided a plasterer that has already been paid for. B and Q happy to take the money for fitting but not provide the service. As it is the fitters are looking for a plasterer themselves which is great but I would avoid B and Q providing fitting and supplying a kitchen unless you have your own fitters which is not what they were selling.”
