Howdens, St Albans. Lack of respect. Echo-ing a previous customer's feedback, promised a quote which didn't arrive. Also a different branch took better measurements and provided correct information

worst experience

hello, my name is constantin Lapa and I have been working with howdens for some time, 9-10 years. last year I had the worst experience with them.
I loaded my account with something extra, I argued with them for 2 months and they still haven't solved anything, they don't consider themselves guilty. Thanks i'm not talking about st albans i'm talking about woodford
