Just came back from B&Q Becton to pick up my order, whilst leaving the store the security decided to randomly pick on me and my son to loudly ask if I had paid for my purchases. I have never been so embarrased in my life! I understand that security has a job to do but why single us out of everyone leaving. Whilst queueing I saw also lots of people leave with no question from him. I don't want to expand on why he came for u, because I think the card is widely overplayed! But the fact that my son thought the same and actually asked me for the first time in his life (12) if it was because we were a certain colour made me so sad because there seemed to be no other plausible factor as to why he decided to demean us like that. Even though i'll never be going back to that store, I hope this is looked into especially the video footage, as there is a difference between being vigilant and profiling, and untill you've geen a victim you can't comprehend how it feels!

Absolutely disgusted with the non service at your Croydon branch today, between 13.20 & 14.05. Waited for over 40 mins for timber cutting despite FIVE call outs to two operatives who were on site. Also you have a bell on the counter, WHAT FOR ?????. Most of the staff were either outside smoking or at the onsite burger van, very few on the floor. You push the trade side but in all honesty its a joke, I just lost over 40mins of valuable work time today through incompetence. I then drove one mile up the road to Selco & had my timber cut straight away. One member of staff that did try to help said there was three managers on floor chatting together but didn't want to know. What hope have you got! The feeling i got there was the staff seem disenchanted with the so called hierarchy.

Delivery date changed Twice at short notice. Not interested in my complaint on phone. I will no longer use company due to its very poor customer service. Bad for B&Q,lots of future business for Homebase.

We went to B and Q to have some paint mixed. We arrived at the paint counter 20 minutes before it was due to close. There were a couple of people ahead of us and only one person serving so we had to wait some time. Closer to closing time someone else came and took are paint order. He refused to advise us about the paint and was quite rude. When we went to pay the person on the till was also rude asking us if we had heard the announcement about the store closing. We appreciate staff will want to get home but I cannot remember worse service than this.

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!!!

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.

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.

Useless store, you can’t just go in and buy what you need because some of the items are not available for click and collect or some of them are available for home delivery 🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyway you can’t win with B&Q but there is another STORE CALLED WICKS where you can just put everything to your basket click check out and cheaper next day delivery is on the way to you!!! So simple! So I wish happy shopping in Wicks I hope B&Q will get shut down because it’s run by some idiots.

Ordered a kitchen on delivery to Torquay had a right jobs worth because of a tight hallway I said the work tops can come through the window now the window is the size of a mini car in wi the delivery driver said due to health and safety and damage he can’t bring the kitchen or work tops through the window which is 2 foot high from ground level after a argument debate he said iv email the boss now on a Saturday I doubt if he would be working and he said he would have to deliver it and started in loading will I said in load it but if work tops can’t come in though the window I won’t except any of it I won’t sign for it and it will be left outside and get stolen I even had to help with the delivery through the window a customer having to help now is that health and safety I don’t think so totally out of order and bad service!!

Went to the Leeds store to look at a bath we wished to buy. Especially important to see it as there is so little information in the description. When we got there the display area was empty - where there should have been products there were bare walls with bits of plaster stuck to them. I thought B&Q had gone into liquidation but apparently it was planned this way - there’s going to be a re-fit tonight. Why on earth would you take everything out at the same time so there’s nothing to look at on a weekend and then re-fit on a Sunday night? Stupid planning - went elsewhere and bought a bath!

very poor service. Ordered a kitchen in Oct 19 for delivery in Feb 20. Recieved a call THE DAY BEFORE my delivery to say my cooke and lewis glass burner hob would not be delivered as it was out of stock however a case manager had been appointed to chase it up. Recieved a further call on the day of delivery to say they were unable to get me the hob, could offer no alternative as the case manager wasn't trained in products, offered no compensation even though my kitchen had been paid for in total in October just a refund for that item. im now having to look elsewhere with a kitchen fitter booked in 2 days. very very poor.
