Avoid Depot & Manager

I purchased my kitchen from the Howdens Shadwell depot during their sale period after being told that if I bought during that time, I would receive a voucher as a gift. I wasn’t fully ready to make the purchase yet, but the promise of the voucher made the offer appealing, so I went ahead.

Once the new manager arrived, I approached him to ask when I would receive the voucher, as weeks had already passed since my purchase. His attitude took me by complete surprise — in my personal experience, he was extremely rude, and the interaction felt dismissive and unprofessional. It was honestly the worst customer service I’ve ever encountered.

Since then, I’ve repeatedly been told “next week,” and then “next week” again, with no real progress. I feel like I’m being pushed aside and not taken seriously. Based on my experience, if you are promised a gift or incentive when buying from this branch, be cautious — in my case, it hasn’t been honoured, and the follow-up has been very frustrating.

Overall, I’m so disappointed. I would advise avoiding this depot.

Hello Blue Sky Consultancy,

Thank you for your kind words about our team member's knowledge and efficiency. We're pleased to hear that you had a positive experience with us.

Amazing experience!

We have just had a kitchen fitted by Howdens who were incredible! Ismail was great at communicating, helping us with our design choices and getting the best price possible for us. Howdens have the best range of contemporary kitchens in my opinion, with both Matt and gloss ranges. We went for the speckled stone laminate and we are really impressed with the quality!

Ash was our kitchen fitter, whose contact details were passed on by Howdens. He was incredible!!! Could not have asked for a more positive reassuring experience. I could not recommend him more.

We are delighted with our new kitchen! Thank you to all those involved.

I bought my kitchen through HOWDENS

I bought my kitchen through HOWDENS, in Shadwell. My kitchen designer, Alfie, went to great effort to ensure that my kitchen was designed, redesigned, and planned effectively, making amazing use of the space, and offered great advice along the way. No query, or question was too small, and Alfie always supported me through the process of having my kitchen designed, and delivered. Would highly recommend, customer service was fantastic. Thank you very much, Alfie, you were fantastic!
