Absolutely atrocious service

Absolutely atrocious service. All started well until the kitchen was partially delivered stating that i didnt order it on time which delayed my kitchen fit by an extra week. I ordered it on the date they told me to order it by Then it didnt even measure up properly and my kitchen is now different than planned. When i raised my concerns via email the manager sent a snotty email back said tried saying there was a communication error (acting as if it was on my part) and totally would not listen to my concerns. Then trying to pay was an issue. They then ignored my requests to send me the final bill and would only send it to the person who fitted the kitchen claiming GDPR! Honestly i wouldnt recommend to anyone to buy from here. I even think giving 1 star is pushing it.

Although the doors were measured by Barry Jagger from Howdens. The wrong size doors arrived.
Obviously this has meant that the Carpenter was unable to complete the job.

Helpful staff

Helpful staff, good products, arrived within a few days, helped loading into/ onto car. Only issue was they supplied a waste with the sink which was the wrong size for the sink - but that was quickly remedied when realised.

Once again when I came to fit this…

Once again when I came to fit this kitchen the plumbing pack for the double belfast sink had a pipe missing, and no plinth brackets were supplied, which meant a 30 mile round trip to pick up what should have been supplied.
this cost me time and money, it seems that every time I use Howdens either something is danamaged or there is something missing.
