“I'm having an awful experience with B&Q about a B&Q Homefit Kitchen and Bathroom installation. After over a year, and having to use an Ombudsman, they are now being forced to re-attempt to complete the outstand work from the initial installation that was incorrectly performed, or not to a professional standard (This involves replacement of a lot of the bathroom, and replacement of the kitchen worktops and re-alignment of units). The Furniture Ombudsman although slow was very helpful in resolving this part of my complaint, and addressing some other parts such as delays, and poor management. The second part was over the miss-selling of the projects, with regards the services provided by B&Q and their 5-year guarantee. This paper work was not made available before the installation was “completed”, naively I trusted what I was told at point of sale. When delivered it turned out to be just a Tradesmanship guarantee instead of a much more comprehensive guarantee I was expecting, ‘Tradesmanship’ was not mentioned once at point of sale. I've been bounced between various departments, with no one prepared to make an official response to me regarding rejecting the guarantee they provide after the installation was initially "completed". The purchase was also payed for up-front, giving me no leverage for withholding payment. The Homefit team also has some rude and overly assertive or defensive members, that don’t have a helpful attitude when talking to them on the phone.”

“Omg this is the worst place to buy one of the most expensive things in your home do not do it ! There systems will allow you to place and pay for your kitchen in store even though they are not in stock and have also been discontinued, so you will be halfway through your fitting then will not be able to finish it!!!”

“100% unreliable. The retailer takes no responsibilities and this is in their T&C but in more subtle words for anything. If they are late or ANYHOW did not deliver on the promise - they DID NOT make the promise of any kind even if they took your money. The best you can end up with is a refund and a robotic "sorry". If your time is worth anything to you then don't deal with B&Q.”

“Dont bother going to aintree store. Ive been in. I needed 8 interior doors with frames fitted. 2 exterior doors and frames fitted. No staff to help me. Waited 20 minutes. 2 calls from staff over the tannoy no one came. Ive just got to taskers and im all sorted . Taskers got our money. Terrible service. 3 girls were hanging around the taps jangling when there were lots of people looking for staff to help them. Terrible service. You must have mega buck b and q to watch customers walk out the door when they wanted to spend money in your store.”

“Placed order. No date given for delivery. Been on phone 20 mins to be told they'll ring on the day. I actually work so how's that supposed to happen? They were quick enough to take my money but not sort delivery problems !!!”

“Garbage service! Ordered an item 2 weeks ago and arranged delivery for today. Received txt an hour before delivery due saying delivery delayed. Contacted courier and staff helpful but basically said the item was not ready to deliver. Contacted B&Q staff and again helpful, explained item was dispatched but couriers were not able to deliver. Was offered an alternative date but not on a date that was convenient to me. Asked if it was possible to arrange another courier for delivery- not an option. No mention of any compensation for inconvenience either. Despite the helpful staff, this is poor service, this has left me a very disappointed customer.”

“My wife and I spent c£3K on a new kitchen which B & Q designed. They failed to supply enough worktop to build the kitchen. They did not respond to a complaint made via their website. They did not respond to a letter before action warning of court proceedings, and now they are defending them. They have made no attempts to understand and resolve the issues.”

“I travelled around Cwmbran near to where I live to purchase some adhesive for Cork tiles. After visiting Toolstation and Screwfix and Travis Perkins I ended up going to B&Q. Avery nice man called Chris attended to me as I am unable to walk far. I was sold 1 ltr Bostik glue for £8.98. It was rubbish, my wife nearly ended up with a breakdown after 50 minuts of trying to get th tiles to lay flat. The sub base was concrete and we treated thid with a latex coating last night. They kept coming up. Eventually we went to plan B. She had bought a 500ml pot, way too small for 3 metres. The Evostk Flooring Adhesive was brilliant but we ran out. After checking all the stores no one stockit, only on the internet.”

“Went to Cardiff gate store and was very unhappy with the service in store. Looking at flooring needed help so I asked a member of staff for help and he wasn’t very chatty or polite and not very helpful , didn’t ask if i wanted anything else and just walked away to go on his phone. The went on to look at tiles and wanted some advice as there was a broken bit on shop floor and was there for anyone to take , I approached the same member of staff and asked if I was allowed to take it and he was very rude when saying no and had a very bad attitude. The member of staff looked unhappy to be in work and was more interested in his phone. Arrived at the store just gone 12pm and left at 1pm. Staff member had dark brown hair and beard, quite tall. When I first asked him for help he was working on flooring. Unacceptable customer service.”

“I was treated dreadfully numerous times this week by B & Q in Leyton. Rude staff and a really rude manager Atiq, who was uninterested in my complaints. Total lack of customer service. Faulty goods and I’m well out of pocket from the entire sorry debarcle. Their customer service team are useless and pass me back to store manager who is, as I said, unhelpful and rude. Never buying from this rubbish company again.”

“I went to burgess hill branch, I approached cashier to see if there were any other bathroom extractor fans, I asked politely only to get the response “donno”. , she then turned her back on me. Again I said excuse me and asked my question again, she responded “ I said I dunno”, I then asked is there anyone that would know, to which she replied” you best go and find someone at the back”. I have never known service like that, we had gone in to look at kitchens as we are going to replace ours. The brochure I picked up went straight in the bin !!!!! I will look for a company to replace our kitchen with more customer service skills, I went to wickes and purchased my extractor fan , the Wickes experience was a hundred times better than the one I got from B&Q.”

“Ordered Cooke and Lewis hinge on Wednesday and paid £5 delivery charge. That only gave me delivery date of the following Monday! What's more, I have to be in to sign for it! Compared to delivery service from the likes of Amazon the service offered by B&Q is appalling and expensive. - Never again”

“Bought a Beldray steam surge iron sold by B&Q the box stated clearly iron comes with three-year guarantee hence the reason for buying this product from B&Q rather than from other retail store. Kept the receipt and within two years product developed a fault. B&Q could not do anything, spoke with the supervisor of B&Q at Longwell Green Bristol. Then contacted Beldray via telephone, email and produced the receipt. They refused to do anything and demanded the proof of guarantee! the paperwork was thrown away with the box. I am now left with a faulty item which neither B&Q nor Beldray customer services want to do anything. This is extremely poor customer service from both. If this is the way, they treat their customers then they should not be in business. Why should the customer pay for their bread and butter when they cannot produce quality goods and cannot look after their customers? I will most definitely not recommend either to my family and friends to buy any appliances from B&Q. B&Q buys in bulk the rejected goods and sells them cheap on the off chance some will work even if a few don't. This is a despicable scenario which the managers are happy to deploy.”

“I searched the store for the product I needed but could not find it. Having eventually found a staff member to ask she pointed vaguely from one end of the warehouse to the other and said"it's down that end"but she didn't know where because it wasn't her department.. I then found several staff in trade dept having a personal conversation. When asked one gave me a very precise location however having searched the whole aisle I gave up and took out my phone and ordered the item to be delivered the following day from Amazon. I they wonder why retail is dying”

“First the delivery was damaged as rudely explained by the DX delivery driver. On the second attempt the DX delivery driver delivered my product to an address 10 miles away from my house. The driver also said I had signed for the product when I had never received it. Gross missconduct? Shocking unacceptable service and nobody cares. Cheap labour has to stop.”

“I visited the Wandsworth branch as I have for many years as I live near to there and will never shop there again. I was in the lighting department looking at downlights. I was standing choosing between two option and an employee of the shop - Graham - just pushed right in front of me with no words of 'excuse me' or showing manners of any sort. I could not reach the lighting options. Three times I said to the back of his head 'excuse me' and asked what he thought he was doing? Upon acknowledging me, I got a sneer and no apology. I've never experienced such rudeness. Avoid avoid avoid this store!”
