“I have been doing bathrooms for years, half year ago started working for B&Q. I can't imaging if there's any other company worse than they are. Ignored preinstallation survey recommendations, incomplete deliveries, payment problems, ignored calls and emails. I simply tired to use my time and van to get all products delivered to each customer. How do they survive??? How its possible to do business nowadays in such manner in the UK???”

“I ORDERED A KITCHEN BACK IN JULY 2017. ITEMS WERE DELIVERED WRONG, ITEMS WERE DAMAGED AND MISSING. I SPENT NEARLY 3 MONTHS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TRIPS, PHONE CALLS AND VISITS TO B& Q TO TRY AND RECTIFY THIS. B & Q OFFERED ME £150 IN VOUCHERS AS A GOOD WILL GESTURE. HOWEVER THIS DID NOT EVEN COVER THE DIESEL COST AND HOURS I HAD SPENT OVER THE LAST 3 MONTHS TRYING TO SORT OUT THIS MESS. THE KITCHEN WAS BOUGHT ON A CLOSE FRIENDS TRADE ACCOUNT WHICH B & Q INFORMED ME MEANT I WAS NOT COVERED FOR ANY ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH THE KITCHEN AND THAT THEY WOULD DO NO MORE, AT THIS POINT MY KITCHEN IS STILL NOT FINISHED AND I STILL HAVE SOME VERY BAD DESIGN FAULTS . THEY THEN WENT ON TO TELL ME THAT THE FURNITURE OMBUDSMAN WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THIS AS IT WAS BOUGHT ON A TRADE CARD,AND THAT I HAD 14 DAYS TO MAKE A DECISION WEATHER TO EXCEPT THERE OFFER. SO I CONTACTED THE FURNITURE OMBUDSMAN WHO SAID THAT THEY COULD HELP EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A TRADE ACCOUNT. I FILLED OUT ALL THE PAPERWORK AND SENT ALL RELATIVE ITEMS, AND HAVE NOW 4 WEEKS AFTER I SUBMITTED THIS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OMBUDSMAN THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP AS IT WAS A TRADE CARD. SO I HAVE PAID £6500 FOR A KITCHEN WHICH IS STILL NOT COMPLETED AND HAVE COME AWAY WITH NOTHING. HOW CAN THEY BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS.”

“Everything went wrong - from delivery times, to damaged products, to adding parts to my order which I knew nothing about and finally breaching data protection laws by giving out another customers details (to which when mentioned they did not take very serious at all!!!)”

“Ordered tiles for 9th of January. It's now the 12th. Still no sign. I have had to initiate any communication. When you do ring they claim it's in their terms of sales that it may not be delivered that day. What's the point then? Took a day off for this nonsense. Had a tiler booked in too that I had to cancel. Horrible experience.”

“B & Q advertise that all orders £50 and over will be free delivery. When I 'checked' my item out (a £50 mirror) an additional £10 delivery fee was charged. Upon calling them, I was told it's because it is a 'large' item! - FALSE ADVERTISING! No alternative offered i.e. 'click and collect' either on the item in question.”

“The kitchen was designed by B and Q but I had £342 of items and materials that were surplus to requirements. They were duly picked up on BQ uplift scheme . The advice note said I would be credited with the £342 into my account within 7 days. Nothing was sent chased it up followed all the instructions what to do. Coustomer Service said I had to deal with the store after 3 e mails by the store to the “technical department “still no money. So 33days later still no money technical issues still have to be resolved . When I asked what they were and what I could do no answer, still no time given when I will get my money. To top it all the extractor fan does not work after being fitted, it does not take the cooking smells or air away. Followed all the right procedures, engineer came out confirmed it was fitted correctly and that it was not working. Told the store , they informed me that they would replace it but the kitchen fitter had to be VAT registered. The guy I got is not he is labour only but he has fitted for BQ under their kitchen fitted scheme. No unless VAT registered won’t pay for refit I have to go and find a VAT registered kitchen fitter. Don’t use BQ if you think any problems with your kitchen might go wrong they are hopeless.”

“Many of the employees at the Durham store cannot answer simple questions about the company's products. This is especially true in the 'garden centre' section, where the staff seem to be largely clueless about gardening. The nails, screws and fixings are in complete disarray - nothing seems to be in the right place; and the prices are outrageous (nearly eight pounds for a small packet of self-tapping screws!). Chaotic, unhelpful, over-priced, poorly trained assistants ... what's to like? This store doesn't deserve to stay in business.I shall certainly go eksewhere in future.”

“This company is currently in disarray suffering from new systems that are best not fit for purpose. The staff try to help but are unable to due to the cutbacks in the company. I have recently had a delivery that never turned up and no contact was received so wasted a whole day for nothing. Also, now been told that the delivery depot is closed for 2 weeks over Christmas which I find very hard to believe so currently unable to finish fitting kitchen due to missing parts. Decided to go elsewhere for appliances and AO have been fantastic throughout. Will never order anything from B&Q that requires a delivery again, will still use the store though as the staff are generally helpful and the range is good (although again they have had stocking issues for some of the basics the last few times I have been in....)”

“Had our kitchen fitted in May and a bench was damaged by the fitter made roughly about 16 phone calls to the warranty people they ordered a new bench waited for a phone call to say when it will be fit done no call. I rang them after 2 weeks they would investigate what went wrong still no call I then again rang in November and they said another bench would be ordered still no phone call to say what was happening. Another call made in December and they have no record of my claim on the warranty what the hell are these people doing not at all good customer service but I will get it sorted after Xmas or I will be taking further advice avoid this company people”

“For a Kitchen just under £13,000 I am appalled at the ‘customer service’ this company offer! Firstly the kitchen start date was put back twice - first time by a couple of days which isn’t a huge issue, but to then be told it has been put back by a full week! After the current kitchen had been stripped down! During the install of the kitchen materials were missing throughout the whole process - thank goodness our fitter was a 5 star fitter or we may still be waiting for materials now. We couldn’t fault the actual installer who B&Q subcontractoed to us! Finally our kitchen has been finished for a full week - we are yet to have the rubbish removed from our driveway- even though we were told someone would be collecting this yesterday which meant we waited and wasted a full day! Rang B&Q today to be told they don’t know if it will be today either! 3days before Christmas and rubbish all over the drive way and blocking the garage ! This company should be avoided at all costs! If you want 5 star customer service please look else where!”
