Wickes Telford in short
Wickes Telford is the Snedshill branch of the national DIY chain, selling laminate, engineered and solid wood flooring in per-square-metre bands with samples to order before you commit. Click and collect, delivery and an installation service sit behind the shelf price, with a company record running for decades. Our view is that it is the self-buy option: compare here, then decide who fits.
Customer reviews are middling, at four stars on Google across the round's largest review base by far, and Google is the only public review source we hold for the firm. What counts against it is paperwork: no insurance detail and no fitting rates are published. Wickes Telford suits DIY buyers who want boards today with installation backup tomorrow.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Wickes Telford suits you if you want to buy wood flooring off the shelf and add fitting through the same retailer, backed by a company record running since 1984 [1] [3]. The trade-offs are a mid-range 4.0 Google rating across 625 reviews and thin paperwork on insurance and fitting rates [1] [2].

Questions about Wickes Telford
Is Wickes Telford any good?
On the evidence, yes for self-buy: it holds four stars on Google across the round's largest review base and sells every main wood construction with samples to order. The rating trails the independents, so read the full page. Order samples and compare the boards at home.
Is Wickes Telford registered with a flooring scheme?
Industry qualifications can't be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked [1]. It is a retailer rather than a fitting firm, so ask about the installation service instead: who fits, and on what terms. Get the answers before you pay for fitting.
What does Wickes Telford charge?
Flooring carries per-square-metre price bands with samples to order, but no fitting rates, call-out fee or VAT position are published [1]. Ask for the board price, the installation quote and VAT as separate lines. Compare the fitted total against an independent fitter.
Where does Wickes Telford work?
The store serves Telford from Snedshill Trading Estate on Holyhead Road, with parking outside. Check stock online before you travel. Ask whether delivery covers your postcode and what it costs, plus how installation is booked. Get both answers before you travel.

It ranks tenth of the ten wood flooring firms in our September round, carried by range, samples and a long company record. A middling review record decides its place. Read the full review, then compare the fitted total before you decide.
