Customer Service

Pros:

  • "The staff I interacted with were absolutely amazing. Genuinely interested, helpful, polite and friendly."
  • "She was the most helpful member of staff I have ever come across in any shop I’ve visited."
  • "Really nice helpful staff.. called ahead to ask if they would please save the last multitool in stock for me to drive up and collect."
  • "Tilly Baxter for being so helpful and professional when I purchased my garden furniture today."
  • "Graham was really friendly and super helpful and explained to us what we needed and how to complete the tasks."
  • "Lovely guy called Ian helped me, and made me and my daughters life very easy by showing us everything we needed aisle to aisle."
  • "The gentleman on the paint section who mixes the paint on the 10/03/2022 at around 6pm was extremely helpful!!"

Cons:

  • "Leave pigeons to die in there netting while staff stand about and laugh, ray the manager couldn’t care less and seem rather arrogant."
  • "Possibly one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever had!! I ordered some decking via the website and paid in full, including the £30 delivery charge for delivery last Thursday. Delivery day came and went with no explanation when asked."
  • "Some great staff but today a young female member of staff would not move even when asked in order that we could maintain 2 metres distance."
  • "Unfortunately the young man called Lewis on the paint department was very rude, unhelpful and when I told him so!.......said he didn’t care."
  • "Appalling customer service from one extreme to the other - a bloke who appeared to require training and kept shaking his head then an apparently senior member of staff who made me feel like an inconvenience."
  • "Staff here (with a couple of notable exceptions - usually the older members of staff) disinterested and unhelpful."
  • "Good store, just a shame about the incredibly rude and ignorant staff."

Product Availability and Stock

  • "They offer a 10 year warranty on their kitchens and 2 years on the fitting."
  • "The paint section has a good range of brands including the Valspar counter where they can match any colour."
  • "Our second home! Fantastic place, everything we need we always find at B&Q."
  • "The garden centre is brilliant. The plants there are top quality, some of the best I've had."
  • "There is a good garden section outside to the left of the store which has all the plants, sheds, fencing etc."

Cons:

  • "Had to order a few more bits for delivery on 8th December which ended up not arriving and just being told they didn't know what happened."
  • "Visited B&Q chesterfield this morning wanting to pick up some post mix... they had no stock of this item."

  • "Very poor stock levels(none) of the item I wanted,staff helpful but they can't sell you what they haven't got."

  • "Drove all the way there to get something that the website says has 8 in stock and asks me if I want to click and collect and pay for to find it it isn't in stock."
  • "Went for a old type florescent light bulb, they don't have them, so disappointed, not much in garden furniture either."

Store Experience

Pros:

  • "I cannot fault B&Q for location, handiness and stock. With that though comes the trade...cost."
  • "Well laid out nd very easy to find what you require."
  • "Just zoned in on new taps for the bathroom sink and bath good selection the ones we wanted in stock through the checkout quickly no messing with the current restrictions!"
  • "In and out in 20 mins, including queueing before opening time. Really clear instructions on procedures from staff outside and indoors."
  • "Always plenty of parking, but never enough tills to pay at."
  • "B&Q is a great store. But on Friday it was packed and social distancing unacceptable, They need to restrict the numbers."
  • "Lovely well presented store with amazing staff always willing to help."

Cons:

  • "Entrance to the carpark, tight bends that are totally unnecessary, drivers coming out cut the corners and force you to stop."
  • "The one way system isn't very organised, you can't go back to the first aisle without going the wrong way."
  • "A large portion of the customers and some members of staff were not wearing masks and not observing social distancing."
  • "The shop itself is alright, but it is quite small, so if you need something special in BnQ assortment I would suggest to visit larger shop or check the stock first online."
  • "It's pretty light on variety for more obscure parts i.e., plumbing."
  • "For some reason they have all the fans off. Its like shopping in a oven."
  • "The store itself is everything you would expect from a b&q, although it is a little bit smaller than most of them."

Pricing and Value

Pros:

  • "Always seems to be about the best price for things compared to other similar places."
  • "It's always nice to shop here for the bits you need, I tend to go here for my paint and emulsion as I think you can't beat it from here, the quality is good and even if you need one of their cheapy paints for a project it's still quite good."
  • "Thank you B&Q. My outdoor storage box arrived within 3 days. Both packaging and contents water proof and in immaculate condition."
  • "I had excellent support developing both a kitchen design and a bathroom design. Very professional, taking into account both my preferences and practical needs."

  • "Quality is shabby and service was shocking."
  • "Bq like to charge a high price and supply sub standard goods."
  • "Took 7 month for kitchen to arrive after being told 1 month."
  • "Good selection of items if a tad expensive, however staff are incredibly condescending, unhelpful and downright rude."
