“Been a regular customer at b and q for years and spent some serious money during that time. I recently bought some outside spotlights that are spiked àr the bottom so they can be inserted into the ground. I purchased these about June/ July of this year and the wiring plan was quite meticulous and time consuming. Anyway, one of the lights has failed, in as much as there is a build up of Moisture inside one of the lights, causing a trip out on the circuitry. My problem is that without proof not purchase b and q will not entertain my complaint going forward. In future, I will photocopy all receipts and hard copy them to my hard drive. Very frustrating b and q!”

“B and Q continues to go down hill. Not only has their range of stock been dropping over the past year or so, their wood is some of the worst quality of any DIY shop. Today went into B and Q Farnborough to find they have taken out all their self service tills and one 1 out of 5 tills open take cast. All the rest have great big signs in front of the saying Card Only. Is this a shop? Do they want us to shop with them or not? I feel this is the end of B and Q will be avoiding shopping with them in the future. After all they obviously don't want my money”

“Wasted 2 hours to select flooring with one of their representatives. The flooring was on display. During payment, he found out that flooring is not in stock. Then went for another flooring which was on display and he mentioned that it will be delivered within 14 days when tried to pay for that nearest delivery date was after 28 days. The whole process took me 3 hours and end up buying nothing.”

“Door delivered was wrong size ...replacement out of stock . After 3 weeks still waiting to have the wrong door collected and have my money refunded..4 phone calls and 1 returned phone call from the duty manager...absolutely discussed with the abysmal service I have had....can only hope this week they will collect the door and refund my money ....I'm a single parent on limited funds and need to still buy a door elsewhere ...and cannot take another day from work to sit and wait for nobody to come .shameful company and would never spend a single penny with them again .”

“Ordered my kitchen with so many problems from the start, contacted them everyday with one problem to another wrong cooker, sink didn’t fit, different style doors, different colour doors, extractor fan didn’t line up with hob, wrong fridge and not enough end panels so was told to cut in half and use mdf at the back as you would see it. Asked them to collect the kitchen 6 days after it was delivered but was told no, would never buy a kitchen from them again and would advise anyone else to stay away they don’t supply a fitting service so you get your own and all they do is blame them but they advertise a design service but still down to you or your fitter to check before he starts so very angry a very expensive lesson 😡😡”

“What a mistake ordering a B&Q kitchen. Firstly the items delivered: cover panels , incorrect colour. Units of poor quality with a number of damaged panels, 300mm deep wall unit delivered as 400mm, the handles cannot be installed with bolts supplied, you’ll need to buy your own in a size B&Q do not sell?!?! On top of this one 500mm draws was missing, one door missing and all difficult to align, especially the drawer units. Poor in almost all respects, no wonder Which review placed them bottom of the pile - do not waste your money in B&Q, go elsewhere, in fact anywhere else for a better product and service.”

“Paint colour matching service poor Had item scanned for colour match and told it was matched but not 100% When applied the colour was a mile off Went back and was willing to compromise on price of more paint two staff on duty could not make any decisions Called for duty manager he turned up deputy manager called paul He was not the least interested you excepted the colour you paid for it not there problem The moral is unless you can be assured match is 100% don’t buy as you will be stuck with it no redress Or is this just the policy at BLACKPOOL store”

“Bought 2 litre tin of paint 4 days ago from B&Q, price £20.00, I used the paint but had more to do, so went to B&Q today to buy one more tin, the price £32.00 for the same item, tried to talk to staff about the high increase in price, but I may as well talk to a brick wall, in my view B&Q are taking the public for a ride, as from today I will not buy or purchase from this company again, may have to do with there 3 for 2 offer scam,”

“What a shame I have to give one star for the support line. They deserve zero. I ordered a door nearly 3 weeks ago and was promised on line, at point of payment, 4 working days for delivery. It failed to arrive and on the next day, due to lack of door and no information about a possible delay I rang support. After a 30 min wait to get through I was told by customer service they had no idea where the door was. The courier apparently denied all knowledge of collection. My B and Q app told me that everything had been completed but still no door. Rang B Nd Q again and had same response as before. I was promised an upgrade to urgent but after several days still no contact even though they promised a phone call. Eventually made contact again and was told I had another two days wait to talk to someone. Finally contact was made after my requests for a door to be delivered from an upline manager and again promised a 4 day wait. Unbelievably the second door failed to arrived. Rang again and told to wait for another manager. Days passed and a text was received saying ‘ sorry I have been busy and couldn’t ring but will contact you in next 24-48 hours’. This is the person who should have contacted me a week before.’ The door was finally delivered two weeks late. The customer service is appalling and guaranteed delivery dates are just fairy tales. I will never ever use B and Q online delivery again. All three members of my family have experienced poor delivery and support. Be warned. Never use B and Q online. Just buy from the shop.”

“Your stores are poorly stocked with plumbing fittings. Used to be able to get most bits and pieces - sadly no longer. Have on one occasion collected a bath which turned out to have been returned- only to discover the issue on site. Also staff in the floor not qualified. TRADEPOINT is a joke.”

“If I could give B&Q a zero for Customer Service I would have. I ordered a new bath for home delivery, it arrived on time, with the INCORRECT end panel, which the plumber only discovered when he started installing the bath. I have tried all available telephone numbers for B&Q Customer Service, I have tried calling the branch number - no luck. How does this company stay in business. the most frustrating issue is the fact that a person can't speak to anyone. I am now driving to the branch to see if that will result in anything positive.”

“Went into Kidderminster branch today and was surprised that the tills were busy .but I noticed 2tills with no customers so I decided to take advantage of the situation .I was informed they could not receive cash and only took cards .i was shocked I must be honest and I was informed that this stupid idea came into force this week I put my purchases down and scuttled off. I’m surprised in our present climate how the seller can afford to be choosy. .”

“Karen: we ordered 9 packs of flooring from b &q and 2 packs over underlay , the flooring came but no underlay, we called customer service and waited over half an hour for them to answer ,then to be told we had signed for the underlay! Eventually they accepted we hadn’t received it and said they would deliver 2 packs the next day but they didn’t only one pack arrived so we had to call again, this time they apologised and credited us for one pack and told us to go to the store to buy another which we did, not a good home delivery. To make thing worse 6 of the 9 packs were damaged at the ends ,but as we had paid someone to fit the floor we had to make do”

“Went to Slough B&Q on 17th October 19 absolute horrendous service went to buy a lawnmower that was advertised on line and on display in store couldn’t find one. Finally got some help and agreed to buy display model asked if they had spacers for mower was told we don’t sell them I then went over to accessories and found them. Went to pay had a five pound voucher that came through via email from B&Q showed to cashier and was told can’t use it each time I use voucher that type in code apparently cashier couldn’t do it finally left store without making purchase. If I could give zero stars I would.”
