Brilliant

We recently have completed our kitchen project. We used Howdens Widnes for the design and all the fittings, with a recommendation of the fitters.

In all honesty, it has been the best process from start to finish. Jayne at Widnes branch was the best throughout - so helpful and friendly, always on hand for anything, she is clearly a professional and handled the whole process with ease for us.

The fitters, through to the plumber, decorator, electrician, rubbish removal, floor fitter, were absolutely stellar, all were friendly, respectful and clearly experts at what they did. Everyone turned up exactly on time, it was the most well oiled machine I have seen in a long time and I was super impressed. I am happy to say that not one thing went wrong!
A kitchen project can be expensive due to the work involved, but looking back at the completed kitchen (which looks amazing!) I think it was worth every penny. Clearly you get what you pay for.
Well done Howdens and team and a big thank you to Jayne.

Willingness to get me the product that I wanted at the right price by price matching. Also. Transferred product in from another store and because they had a van available delivered same afternoon. That's top service.

Daylight robbery for wood beading

Product cost more than double then from a local wood supplier Mambys. In Widnes.

This was highlighted at the counter but no effort to adjust the trade discount. The sales team just said they couldn’t match the local stores price. So instead of paying £6 per length.. Howdens charged £11! Absolutely daylight robbery.
