New Howdens Kitchen

We recently used Howdens Portchester to design and supply a new kitchen for us. We received absolutely top class service from Mandy our kitchen designer who came up with some great design solutions that we hadn't thought about. The technical design drawings supplied by her were spot on and nothing had to be changed during the kitchen fitting process. We now have a fantastic kitchen that we love and we would thoroughly recommend Howdens and Mandy to anyone considering a new kitchen.

Kitchen from Howdens Portchester

We used Howdens Portchester to design and supply our kitchen. We were delighted with the service that we received from Mandy our kitchen designer. She couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, always went the extra mile and was always there with a thought or idea when we were struggling for inspiration during the design process. The units that we have seem to be good quality and we are hopeful that they will last 25 years like our last kitchen!
If I had one thing to say about the Howdens experience it would be that the trade-only nature of their business makes the lack of price transparency as you go through the process frustrating for me. Mandy went out of her way to help with this but it remained a frustration.

Received exceptional service from Sam and Bev who helped me find a replacement for a door catch which exactly matched my broken one. So when I was back at home I just had to slot it in and refit the handle. Works Perfectly

Many thanks again to Sam and Bev

Amazing experience

Mandy was an absolute breath of fresh air when we met her, to design my dream kitchen. She listened to what we thought we wanted/needed and came up with ideas that we hadn’t thought of and when the design was sent to us we fell in love with it.
Mandy is very knowledgeable about products, no pushy sales pitch which was so good, she is mindful of what people want and she was an absolute gem to design what we could only have dreamed of before.
We cannot wait to go from design to reality and would recommend Mandy to everyone.

New kitchen - Portchester Branch

Mandy at the Portchester branch was excellent. She understood what I wanted for my new kitchen more than I did! The design maximised use of the space and has delivered a light, airy and seemingly much bigger kitchen. The quality of the products and customer service was excellent from start to finish. All items were delivered together and on time. I would have no hesitation in using again.
