Table notes: Customer score and star ratings based on an online survey of 2,966 people (members of the UK public and Which? Connect members) in May 2022.

Sample sizes: Argos (365), B&Q (211), Hammonds (170), Ikea (813), Sharps (220), Wickes (72). Where no rating is given, sample size was too small, or an installation service is not offered.

At the other end of the table, brands were given just three stars for quality ratings.

However, customers from one brand reported 11 weeks for their delivery.
In addition, an average of 67% of respondents reported having no issues with their delivery. The most common problems were the delivery being rearranged several times by the brand (10%), some parts becoming unavailable after ordering (9%) and some parts being missing at delivery (8%).
Which brand offers the best installation service?
