“I came in to the Portrack B&Q on Wednesday 26th Feb! Asked 2 members of staff to help me with ‘Draw handles’ an older women told me ‘go down there you’ll see the handles for a door then be round there’ SO HELPFUL! (not) Another member of staff said ‘Yeah Isle 20’ I personally thought staff members were supposed to be welcoming and take you to the isle? Both members of staff weren’t helpful at all! Left me struggling trying to find the correct handle that I needed within such small time because I needed to be somewhere! If someone had of helped me I wouldn’t have been late!! I believe the staff need more training on ‘CUSTOMER SERVICE’ Thanks :)”

“I ordered 3 very expensive tins of paint on line on the last day of the 3 for 2 offer. I chose click and collect from my local store. Received a voicemail the next day saying that they were cancelling my order as they didn't have the stock in the store I had chosen to click and collect from. There was no warning on the website when I ordered that there was no stock at the store or that they would not order the paint in for me. If there had been a warning I would have chosen free home delivery and the paint would have been sent from a central point. So because of the poor website ordering design/the ordering system not checking stock at the chosen store at point of order/B&Q ordering the goods in to the local store, I will be over £60 out of pocket. I wouldn't even give one star but had to, to post a review. Thanks B&Q!!!”

“My sister and I went to B &Q in Sutton, London branch today and I am very pleased to say we met a very helpful, pleasant gentleman called Gerald in the paint mixing section. He was very kind, knowledgeable had excellent customer service skills. I got paint for my new kitchen which I am very happy with. The other staff were also very helpful. I would recommend this branch of B and Q to everyone.”

“Purchased a Fire Angel ST-620 Smoke Detector with 10 year battery from B&Q Bolton in May 2017. Battery failed last night. So much for 10 year life! B&Q refused to replace without a receipt. Who keeps receipts for over 2 years? Couldn't bring myself to buy replacement from B&Q Bolton however have ordered one from Amazon, delivered tomorrow, cheaper and will have proof of purchase forever. Result! Why does anyone buy from retail shops nowadays?”

“Just visited the paint section. The tall blond lady was extremely short with me! Before I even finished asking the first question she said no we dont have it. Then a gentleman beside her pointed out the possible place in the shop where I could find the product. She showed me to the shelf but just after said no we dont have it. I then opened the B&Q online page and showed her the actual product and then she just said oh this is beside the spray paints. I still couldn't find it so now I am leaving the store without the product and frustrated. Not gonna be coming back!!! I was also here every week before this incident. I am a manager myself and know a little bit of how the customer service should look like.”

“I would not recommend anyone to buy a kitchen as i have had nothing but problems ie items coming damaged 3 sheets of copper back board damaged buy courier you are not aloud to check items upon arrival you have got to take packaging in. i also had end panels damaged. How are tradesmen supposed to get on with their work when they have to wait days for items to arrive. When they arrive they are damaged again. B & Q should employ people who are careful with their products when delivering.”

“I waisted a mornings work and a morning of my life plus waisted a gallon of fuel on B&q i am fumming . I contacted B&Q this morning via mobile and asked how much their loft insulation was and the chap on the phone said they had an offer on 3 rolls of loft insulation for £16.50 so i took a morning off work to collect as many rolls as i could fit in me car.when i got their we managed to get 9 rolls in my car and when i went to pay the 3 times £16.50 the man on the till said it would be around £148 when i told him no it should have been around £48 total 3 rolls for £16.50 when the manager came over he said know they are £16.50 each , when i explained i have been told the wrong information, travelled from Bridgwater to Glastonbury plus what with my fuel and time from work i said to the manager he should honer what i was told he said sorry i can not do that and i had to take the 9 rolls oit of my car. B&Q waisted my time and fuel on giving faulse information over the phone. When i contacted the custmers services the lady said not in so many words it was my fault as it was advertised on their web site.when i told her not everyone has a computer she replied well it does say on the signes in the store trying to blaim me and passing the buck when it was trully the store workers error for not explaining or lack of knowlage on the store products. I did give the store manager at Glastonbury B&Q to honer the transaction but he refused point blank. So i am out of pocket and list money due to B&Q staff not doing their job properly. I am fumming and thinking of going to trade and standards and taking possible advice on getting compansation from Glastonbury B&q. I was treat like an idiot by customers services.”

“I visited the Warrington Store last week at Winwick. Was looking for advice on internal door purchase. A gentleman called Ed on hardware came to help me. He was so helpful,knew all about the products and offered really useful advice. Ed then went on to order my doors etc, saving me what would have been a very stressful hour at home on my computer. Fantastic service going above and beyond to make sure I was happy before I left. Thank you Ed”

“We went to B&Q in Bury St Edmunds to buy some laminate flooring. We received advice from a very helpful and knowledgeable assistant called Paul Who who was able to advise us on waterproof flooring which we were looking for. We decided to go for vinyl click flooring and avoided buying something which would not have suited us. He was very helpful and and knew his stuff regarding flooring. We would definitely recommend the store and him!”

“We shopped at your Greenwich branch and found the service appalling. There were a good number of staff around, they each fobbed us onto the next person when we asked for help. Their product knowledge was generally very poor. This clearly is a management issue as it is not the first B&Q we have found this to be the case. Please train your staff so that they can have pride in their work and make it a happy customer experience.”
