For the most part this went smoothly. There were two hiccups.
One was the 15mm plasterboard I ordered from a company called Building materials: http://www.buildingmaterials.co.uk/. They sent 12.5mm. After they failed to respond to my emails, we made endless phone calls on their expensive telephone number and they eventually delivered the right stuff.
As our puppy has a penchant for chewing through electric cables, I needed cordless drill to replace my 30 year old B&D cabled hammer drill.
I had a bad start with this drill as the battery charger was faulty. Wickes exchanged it without any problems for another one.
This one charged OK but was unable penetrate brickwork of our Victorian house, which my 30 year old corded electric drill has no trouble with.
I used it to drill holes for 3" screws through some soft wood (used for palettes). The screw going into the chuck sheared off.
It was at this point I realised this was not the drill for me and returned it. Wickes were very good about the refund.
