Howdens South Croydon are excellent
I used Howdens South Croydon and they were fantastic. Bev who helped us was wonderful and we love the new kitchen. It was good value and seems robust. The builder was confident with the product and did a great job fitting it

Hi there James, Thanks for leaving this 5 star review for the Howdens - South Croydon depot! Have a lovely day! Tash.
Terrible ‘designer’ & poor service
Throughout the process I have had to check and chase every part of my design. It appears the expectation is that customers check through quotes line by line to cross reference the item numbers, if not items will be missed and or incorrect.
The 'kitchen designer' at no time reached out to check through the quote or design. I made many unreturned calls and emails and now I have a kitchen that isn't what I wanted.
Rather than own up to his mistake, Ollie the ‘kitchen designer’ has lied about me. So many errors were made by Ollie during the ‘design’ and delivery stage. All of this I put up with in the hopes of getting a kitchen was happy with, instead I have received more poor treatment.
My builder spoke very highly of Howdens but the whole process has been a disappointment.

Hi, Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Please be assured we have passed your review and email to the South Corydon depot who are currently investigating this matter. Someone will be in touch shortly to help further.
The kitchen planner visited our home for an initial survey.
The kitchen planner visited our property in August 2022 to carry out a survey. Shortly after that we visited their South Croydon branch to plan out which units and applicances would be required. This was done using a CAD system, which produced an accurate plan and visual images of the finished work.

Bev @South Croydon - Great Design
Bev at South Croydon designed a fantastic kitchen for us which works so well for our daily life. She’s optimised the space very well - it’s a small space but it feel spacious; there’s plenty of storage and people can move around easily within it. Any issues or parts were dealt with quickly and promptly. Can’t recommend more highly.

We had the pleasure of the lovely Bev design our kitchen. She gave us lots of ideas and came up with a final design plan that utilised space in a way we had not imagined. From design to delivery the whole experience was seamless. The kitchen is stunning more than pleased.

Amazing design - so happy
Really great kitchen design from Bev. She came up with a design which made the most of the space and was so much better than the designs from all other companies (including things I didn't think possible!). It has been installed and looks beautiful - I am so pleased. Would definitely recommend.

Recently had our kitchen designed with the help of Bev at South Croydon. I could not recommend Bev enough. She provided various designs for us to consider and was so helpful in getting the kitchen exactly how we wanted. Nothing was too much and she always happy to answer any questions we had.

Brilliant experience
I would absolutely recommend this branch. Bev, the kitchen designer has been fantastic throughout, and made the process much easier. She was incredibly patient at the countless design changes I made, and sent over revised quotes quickly, as well as suggesting really clever design solutions to for a tricky sized kitchen, which enabled me to have the configuration I really wanted. Incredibly flexible, helpful, friendly and knowledgable. Massive thank you!

Bad quality and overpriced
In all honestly for the quality produced I was shocked at the price.
You can get much much better for the price they charge definitely made me decide to never go back. Would go to benchmarx in the future
