What Is Wickes and What Can You Buy or Arrange on wickes.co.uk?

Updated

Wickes is a UK home improvement retailer serving both DIY customers and trade professionals. On wickes.co.uk you can buy building materials, garden products, paint, flooring, doors, kitchens and bathrooms, and you can arrange delivery, Click & Collect, or a free kitchen or bathroom design appointment. It suits anyone planning a home project who wants products and practical guidance in one place.

What the site is for

The site positions itself around "home improvement products, services and advice for Trade & DIY." In practice that means three things:

  • Buying products across a broad range of categories.
  • Arranging services such as delivery, store collection and design appointments.
  • Getting advice through how-to guides, product selectors and inspiration content.

What you can buy

The product range covers both finishing items and structural materials. Categories visible on the site include:

Area Examples
Kitchens & bathrooms Kitchen ranges (e.g. Ohio kitchen in 9 colours), bathroom design services
Paint & decorating Interior paint offers, paint rollers and trays, wall panel kits
Flooring Laminate flooring (e.g. Arreton 12mm)
Doors & joinery Internal doors (e.g. Geneva white cottage door), skirting boards, decorative mouldings
Garden Fence panels, sheds, leaf blowers, guttering and drainage, firewood and firelighters
Building materials Timber, cement, plasterboard, loft insulation, roofing felt, corrugated polycarbonate sheets
Tiles Tile ranges for bathrooms, kitchen splashbacks and feature areas
Seasonal & practical Portable heaters, dehumidifiers, exterior lights, water butts

The site also runs regular "saver offers" with reduced prices on selected products, so it's worth checking the offers section before buying.

Services you can arrange

  • Home delivery — from £5, with exclusions applying.
  • Click & Collect — free, with collection in as little as 15 minutes from 230 stores.
  • Rapid delivery — same-day delivery within 3 hours, with exclusions applying.
  • Free design appointments — book a free kitchen or bathroom design appointment.
  • TradePro — a sign-up programme for trade customers.

If you need materials urgently, the 3-hour rapid delivery and 15-minute Click & Collect options are the relevant choices; check the exclusions before relying on either for a specific item.

Advice and planning tools

Beyond shopping, the site hosts:

  • How-to guides for jobs such as painting, decorating, gardens and landscaping.
  • Product selectors to help choose the right item for a project.
  • Inspiration content, such as tile range features and a garden calendar that indicates the best time for seasonal gardening jobs.

When Wickes is a good fit

Wickes works well if you want to buy materials and finishing products for a home project, need fast delivery or nearby store collection, or want a free design consultation before committing to a kitchen or bathroom. If your project is small and you only need advice, the how-to guides and selectors are usable without buying anything.
