We dropped off drawings at the shipley branch, went through the kitchen requirement in great detail and were promised a design and quote within a couple of days, here we are nearly 3 weeks on and no proposal.
Howden's are great at cold calling and chasing up jobs however cant be bothered quoting?

All the staff are very very good at any things I ask. And get back to myself or sort at the branch. All round time top marks from me.

Howdens special offers are great value…
Howdens special offers are great value and they are really easy to deal with. I bought eight Holdenby oak doors for £400 for a newbuild.
The delivery charge was a bit top side at £50 for a few miles but overall the deal was still good.
When closer to completion we will be looking at their kitchens using their free kitchen design.

Complete waste of time
Had a 100% success rate with kitchen fits, got offered the job, Howdens sorted it. The two of my closest friends went to howdens and Howdens totally made a balls of it. Ended up having to fit Wren. Never going back. Must be a shift in sales policy. How do you design and sell a kitchen in 30 mins. Crap.

Poor experience with online order.
Order placed online. Acknowledgement received stating “One of our colleagues will be in touch very soon“.
One week later I called into branch and asked for my goods which I duly paid for and took away with me. No apologies and no explanation for lack of communication.
