We had a very good experience with the Howdens -Reading South branch. Their customer service was consistently good from start to finish, always friendly, helpful, and happy to answer any questions. We mainly dealt with Mel and Ben, who were both knowledgeable, available, patient, and committed to getting everything right. When we first started looking for a kitchen, we didn’t know much about Howdens or the quality of their products. Looking back, we’re very glad they encouraged us to go with them, as the quality of our Frome kitchen is excellent and we’re delighted with the final result. Every time we visited the showroom, we were greeted warmly and made to feel welcome. I & N.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Service & Quality – Howdens Reading South is a Hidden Gem!
Honestly, I never expected to buy from Howdens — I always assumed top quality meant overpriced. But as we couldn't find what we were exactly looking for in Wickes and Wren, I gave Howdens Reading South a try, and I’m so glad I did!
From the start, Designer Steve was incredible — he came personally for measurements and already had design and ideas ready at our first meeting. Real professional!
The quote was initially high, but Manager Ben was amazing — he matched competitive prices without compromising on quality or service based on Howdens We Beat Like for Like Quote. What truly impressed me was his after-sales support — quick, helpful, and completely stress-free.
This branch is a perfect example of what customer service should be. Professional, friendly, and truly dedicated. If you’re in Reading and need a kitchen, don’t waste time elsewhere — go straight to Howdens Reading South. You won’t regret it!

Excellent customerservice from Oliver knows the products well and helped to source them.

Good quality door furniture but over-priced hinges - the hinges are priced separately but only available in pairs which is somewhat deceptive.
Very helpful staff in Reading.

Amazing from start to finish. The attention to detail and the care that goes into the design process right up to the fitting is amazing.
Patient with the design appointment and go into meticulous detail with every element you need to consider.
Would recommend Howdens to everyone!
