The home improvement retailer saw like-for-like revenues grow by 5.3% in the six months ending December 27, 2025, leaving it with full-year sales of £1.64bn
Its retail arm saw sales increase by 5.1% on a like-for-like basis and helped it hit what Wickes describes as a “new record level” of market share.
This momentum was in part because of Wickes’ trade arm, with TradePro sales up 8% year on year and active members of the scheme up 11% to 643,000. The retailer said that DIY sales were in “mid-single digit growth”.
Design and installation revenue increased by 6.1% in like-for-like terms after a 1% dip in the first half of the year. That leaves the segment with an overall 2.5% like-for-like revenue growth across the full year.
“Pleasingly, growth has been volume-driven across the business, with customers turning to Wickes for value, convenience and speed,” said chief executive David Wood.
“Our design & installation customers have responded well to the enhancements to our offer, enabling us to build on the sales momentum we have established this year.”
Wickes will report its full-year results in mid-March 2026. It said it expects profit-before-tax to land within the consensus forecast range of £46.8m to £50.7m.
