“Waited 3 weeks for kitchen units, given delivery date by email. Reminders by text we will contact you the day before with 2 hour time slot,( no text. The driver will ring 30 min before delivery ( no call ) postcard through letter box from parcel force at 8 am unable to deliver no answer. Customer service no help only there to make excuses. A day off work and still no units,what a shambles”

“Terrible had a fitted kitchen did not fit because they had not thorght about Height. They did not provide or inform me that I needed extra bits to go round the dishwasher and sink to stop the counter top from swelling. Worst designed sink ever it pushes the water off in all directions on to the counter top. When I complained got pushed to the furniture ombudsman (that they pay to be a member off. Guess who’s favour they found in). Then wrote several letters to them about the problem no reply. Do not buy from them. Have replaced the faulty counter top with a competitors and have had no problems. The large draws are flimsy and self shut draws stop working within a year. DO NOT BUY!!!!! My order number so you know I’m a confirmed customer 0076322234.”

“I would not recommend this lighting..... Chesworth nickel effect chandelier 5052931167876 These light fitting are wearing so awful!! Located in bedrooms they look like I smoke 60 cigarettes a day sat underneath them!!!! And of course I don’t there useless. I have to dust them over monthly god knows what’s on them they are totally covered! I also clean them every couple of months, they look discussing they have a film over them, you have to rub so hard which you can’t do very well while swinging on them while they hang from the ceiling this creates an electrical issue that would be a worry if causing loose wiring. I thought it was condensation which was impossible!! I started to wipe them and it didn’t budge. I would not recommend this product if you are looking fir the shiny finish because it simply does not happen. Poor product and poor material tarnishing quickly even after cleaning I’m so disappointed and I am wonder how many more stories about them there are. I have taken them back to Hull B&Q today 24/1/19 after I had previously rang customer services and called Into store for advice and showing them photos I was told to bring them in to exchange, .... now b&q won’t change them. The store manager polished the large flat surface of the ceiling rose fixing and said based on the outcome he could not refund or exchange saying the product needed cleaning. I asked him to show me how the rest of the light fitting would clean up and he declined, he said he was not prepared to show me how the rest of the light fitting would clean up. The poor metal quality of the spiral parts of the light won’t clean up. B&Q have even question the environment in which I have them?.... it’s a clean and dry house just like any home and more so than the B&Q store warehouse that is a far dustier environment than my home but they said there lighting was not as bad as mine after 4 years compared to mine after 15 months putting the blame on me. I have logged a product complaint about them, if anyone has the same problem you need to log a product complaint for B&Q to even consider the poor quality of this product. Not fit for purpose, sold as shiny lighting, actually tarnished JH”

“Categories Alternate Text Mike Rawlins For companies Your review counts! You reviewed DIY Add photo Mike Rawlins Mike Rawlins 2 reviews Star 1 Star 2 Star 3 Star 4 Star 5 Just now Totally rubbish customer service Totally rubbish customer service. Handed over £310 for a Sanislim macerator that costs £304.80, for next day delivery to my local branch. I believe the girl on the till gave me the correct change but put down that I only paid £304. I phoned customer services the next day at 11:30 asking if my delivery was in. They said they will make enquiries and phone me back. they phoned my "Wife" back after 30 mins and told her it would be in store after 1PM. I immediately phoned back to confirm and ask them to phone me, not my wife (why they phoned my wife in the 1St place is a mystery). I was then told that my item will not be delivered as there was 80P outstanding, and that I would have to drive to Harlow, 17 miles away to pay the 80p balance and that the macerator would not be delivered until this balance was paid. In the meantime, the shopkeeper at Fyfield cannot trade as they have no toilet and no sink to wash their hands and prepare food. So it was beyond anyone to use their common sense and say, "well lets deliver the item anyway and when the guy comes in to pick up his purchase, ask him to pay the 80p. disgusting and irresponsible behaviour. But they are sorry. pathetic”

“I have made an order in February 2018 which I have cancelled the order a few days later . I was suppose to get an instant refund atleast within 30 days. Nobody bothered I wasted my time and effort in communication. They claim it was an error made by b&q and now they are saying I have my money given back in the trade account since my balance is fully paid by me I do not see any overpayment. There was lack of communication. Every time I speak or write to someone it’s always someone knew and they don’t know my concern so I have to keep repeating back every time. But it’s going to be almost a year chasing backwards and forwards and still no refunds to this day So I decided to get this matter sorted with the ombudsman for now. Probably get legal advice and may bring this on Twitter.”

“I bought some paint from here, not thinking that I would need to check that the lid was secure, once I got home and lifted the carrier bag out of my car, it had spilt in the bag and had soaked through to my passenger side footwell. Looking at the paint, there was no plastic seal (it was a plastic tub). I contacted B&Q and they basically said they aren't responsible for their products when they leave their store and if things are damaged in transportation then that's the customer's fault.....even when they sell faulty products. I won't be buying from any B&Q store ever again and to be honest, you can get most things cheaper elsewhere, you just might need to go to several different stores.”

“We ordered laminate in 2015. The delivery service was awful. Aprox 5 deliveries arranged and no one showed up. Eventually we cancelled our order and the items turned up a few days later, which we refused delivery on as our money was being refunded....was... Fitters had to be cancelled, losing our deposit. The refund was held by BnQ as they still had one hand on our money (banks explaination) which meant we couldnt buy elsewhere and rebook fitters. Eventually we went in to store, and the store managed to get the payment released (about 2 weeks in) I left a review on their website but "We have read your review and value your contribution even though it did not meet all our website guidelines. Thanks for sharing, and we hope to publish next time!" The flooring has a 20 year guarantee, but the reciept texts have all but vanished. The coating on the flooring is that thin, that despite it being for a high use area, it has worn away and even though we only damp mop (and this is suitable for wet areas) the corners and edges are rising.”

“The customer service is a joke. When you buy something and pay for a delivery, you expect to get it at your door. Well, not at B&Q. I live in a buiding where there are hundreds of flats and a Concierge to receive deliveries on my behalf. However, B&Q managed to delivery at another street to a flat in another building! Isn't amazing? They haven't called me before doing that. I can't find anyone at the address they provided, so I am not even sure if they provided the right address for collection. And now, when I call them, they are not able to provide a satisfactory solution and keep telling me it's just around the corner! Otherwise I will need to collect "a few" more days to get something that was supposed to be delivered the next day. I asked for a refund, they said it could only be done it they succeed to collect the item they delivered. It's unbelievable! I am never buying from B&Q again!”
