Never Ever Homebase Again, not only kithcen but any product i will boycott from Homebase as i was utterly disappointment with my recent buying kitchen and bath experience. My experience has been disappointing, and despite all efforts to resolve the issues, the resolution remains unsatisfactory. Initially, I was impressed with the assistance provided by your kitchen designer, Reece. However, the problems began once the products were delivered. It became evident that the design was flawed and did not align with the initial sales techniques. When I raised these concerns with the store manager, Matt, I found his response to be unhelpful and dismissive. His suggestion to escalate the issue to the Financial Ombudsman seemed more like an attempt to deflect rather than address the problem. Although I later received support from Molly at Homebase head office, who was diligent in her efforts, the issues with the kitchen design persist. The gaps and discrepancies remain unresolved, and I feel that the product was oversold relative to my needs. Given the unsatisfactory resolution and the treatment I received, I will not be purchasing from Homebase in the future. I hope this feedback helps improve the customer experience for others.I try to refrain from writing bad review however homebase team prompt me to write one. Avoid Kitchen and bath at all cost!

Terrible customer service. They rely on other companies to supply the order, so they take the order and actually have no idea when it is being delivered. They said my order would be late, but would arrive before a certain date. It did not, so I spoke with them to cancel the order (and ordered it somewhere else for a cheaper price). It then arrived several days later, and I've had to speak with their chat several times to try to arrange a collection, which has so far been very painful and slow, and hasn't resulted in a collection. The communication between Homebase and the suppliers seems pretty ineffectual, and I'm not confident that this will get resolved.

Excellent help from Mark Shannon of the bathroom department at Maidenhead Homebase in May, 2024. Nothing was too much trouble from measuring the bathroom to making sure that I had exactly the right suite and fittings. Because of his service I will be using Homebase in the future.

Homebase's warranty is a scam I bought a BBQ grill from them Texas BBQ LESS THAN A YEAR ago, the material was so rubbish that the tray under the BBQ which holds that fat got completely rotten and fell off (the water doesn't even reach there + it always was covered), also the button that sparks to lid the gas no longer works. I contacted them, because it's in the warranty, and they say it falls into the "regular wear and tear" and didn't do anything, LESS THAN A YEAR. Amazon would refund me, dont buy from this rubbish store.

They don't deserve even one star. I have had a terrible experience for five months, and God knows how long I will need to put up with Homebase. In December 2023, I placed a German kitchen, and I have been promised a delivery timeline, which is expected to take up to 6 weeks. However, at the end of January, I received a call with unfortunate news - my kitchen would only arrive in the UK after February 26 and would be delivered curbside. Despised the fact I had in writing from Homebase assuring me it would be delivered inside the flat. On February 28, my kitchen was delivered in the morning. However, upon arrival, the drivers refused to carry the delivery upstairs. To my surprise, the units were damaged, the wrong sizes were delivered, and parts were missing. During the process, we started questioning the absence of the drawer unit. When I tried to return the kitchen due to these issues, I was told that it was against their policy, which was never communicated to me beforehand, even though the kitchen is not of merchantable quality. It took an additional 6-7 weeks to receive the remaining parts of the kitchen, only to find that the wrong colour had been delivered, along with more missing parts. After more than five months of stress and frustration, my kitchen was finally complete at the end of May. In January, I was promised a 10% discount via an email. And now, to add insult to injury, Homebase has offered me a measly compensation of £150 and denied me a 10% discount. Their excuse is that the employee is no longer with the company, and it doesn't matter what I have in writing. It is clear that Homebase takes zero responsibility for its mistakes and does not care about its customers once an order has been placed. On top of that, they will try to intimidate you and blackmail you with a deadline, and if you take this matter further, they will retract this pathetic £150 offer as soon as contact has been made with any third-party dispute scheme. In addition, they proudly told me that my kitchen designer, is no longer with them due to his mistakes. Shame on Homebase for firing your employee and running away from your responsibilities. I urge anyone considering purchasing a kitchen from Homebase to stay away. They will lie to you, make excuses, and refuse to take responsibility for their errors. Their lack of accountability and poor customer service have disgusted and disappointed me. Others must be aware of Homebase's unprofessional and unethical practices regarding kitchen orders. Please do not fall into their trap. If you feel it is right to wait five months for your kitchen, please place an order with them.

Worst company service ever. Do not use. Failed deliveries twice, they are unable to contact their own logistics company other than by email which may take 3 days. Still no delivery, still no response. Avoid at all costs.

Avoid at all cost for online orders! Homebase possess a level of incompetence that will not be rivalled in the UK. I ordered 2 sofa beds that was meant to arrive a week after ordering on 23rd May. On the morning of the 23rd I had our old sofas removed to make space for the new ones. After opening the sofas I found both to be the incorrect colour and model! Rang customer services who confirmed the earliest re-delivery would be in another week’s time on the 30th, this despite us currently having no seating in our sitting room and expecting guests over the bank holiday weekend. On the 29th I decided to get in touch with Homepage again as I had received no automated confirmation of the delivery or collection of the old couches, only to be told that there was a delay with the order and it could only be delivered in another week’s time on the 6th of June! I was asked via email what time would suit me for collection of the wrong sofas to which I responded that the earliest available date I would be home was Friday 7 June, but despite this the collection was arranged for the 6th of June anyway… Based on the number of automated communications following this I realise that the problem was not a delay with the delivery, but instead the fact that the customer service agent never booked in the collection or delivery when we spoke on the phone on the 30th as she claimed. I therefore make arrangements to be home on June the 6th for both the delivery and collections. The incorrect sofas were collected in the morning, but upon querying I was told that this team did not have the replacement sofa’s and it might be with a different team. Upon following up over telephone (having had to wait 40 min on hold before reaching an agent), I was informed that they would have to get confirmation and phone me back. Another hour later I received a call which I couldn’t answer at that stage. The agent left a voicemail to inform me that the sofas were not sent to the correct depot and would not be delivered on 6th. Instead they will be sent to the correct depot and be delivered in another week’s time on the 13th of June. I was further informed that I would need to call them back to confirm if the 13th is in order, but the number provided is the same one I previously spent 40 min on hold!!! This will be 3 weeks without any form of seating in our sitting room and having to resort to dining chairs to watch tv… Homebase, how are you even still in business? If you have a single person in your entire organisation with any kind of management experience I would love to get in touch with them to discuss! I am also curious how you are able to a 4.4 rating on trus.tpilot but only 1.9 here?

Bought two sets of Albi Garden furniture. A month after the second set arrived, rust started to appear on the chairs. Homebase refuse to anything about it and say that it is not a manufacturing defect and that it should never get wet. Ever. Really? Perhaps this set should be described as indoor or conservatory furniture rather than garden furniture. Homebase is definitely not what it was. Avoid like the plague.

I would advise anyone thinking of purchasing a kitchen from these Charlatans to join "Homebase UK Complaints" on Facebook first and read. They must be the worst kitchen company in the UK and the after sales team are diabolical. They deny that even goods that are faulty and not fit for.purpose are the customers fault 😡 I've never dealt with such cowboys.
