"The administrators therefore sadly confirm the closure of 52 stores and redundancies of 1,016 staff based at these sites and a further 299 redundancies at the two distribution centres in Worksop and Newport.
"The administrators continue to liaise closely with the Government, agencies, unions and large employers to help create avenues to further employment opportunities for affected staff."
Joint administrator Edward Williams added: "In the absence of viable offers for the whole business, very sadly store closures and redundancies of team members from those stores are now necessary, in addition to the already announced redundancies at the support centre and distribution centres.
"We know this has been a deeply unsettling time for everyone concerned and would like to express our gratitude to all Wilko team members for the dedication and support they have continued to give the business in the most trying of circumstances."
Zelf Hussain, Jane Steer and Edward Williams from PwC were appointed as joint administrators of Wilkinson Hardware Stores, Wilko and Wilko.com on August 10.
