Could improve.

As a company to deal with howdens are very good, cannot fault the staff at the branch I deal with who are always helpful and accommodating. This review is on no account a criticisms of them but more of the way the company has gone over the years. Most of there products are fine for general building quality. Unfortunately the quality of there kitchens is pretty terrible. The fact that howdens clame to be for the trade (stop saying this the Internet changed the market years ago we all understand why you have gone the way you have but stop making out your not like everyone else out there). Its a bit of a joke when your end decor panels allow nothing for the tradesman to scribe to walls or to allow them to allow the wall panels to run on for cornice as well as the pelmet. Back of Carcasses has got thin like budget kitchens elsewhere. Worktops are 600 exact so if your walls are out of square or not dead straight you have nothing to scribe so if the customer wants something other than very thick tiles or upstand there is again nothing we can do. We already butcher the back of your carcasses service void to give us something to scribe with the base decor panels. I know I'm not the only person who thinks like this and know alot of others find themselves unable to recommend howdens for kitchens for these reasons especially if your in a area with older properties where fitting a howdens kitchen is far from easy unlike other makes that allow the fitter some more freedom and material to do a nice job.
