Great Experience
I am really pleased with my new kitchen. Ansaar the kitchen designer made the whole process smooth and stress free from start to finish. He planned everything exactly as I asked, paying attention to fine details of my requirements. When I made two last minute changes, he adapted the order easily and quickly. Everything was delivered on time on the agreed date and I was kept updated throughout. Thank you Ansaar and thank you Howdens for a lovely kitchen.

Great Experience!
I recently purchased a kitchen from Howdens and I am extremely satisfied with my experience. From the moment I stepped into their showroom, I was greeted warmly by their knowledgeable staff who guided me through the entire process. Michael in particular has been a true assett in getting our project competed on time and within budget.
The range of kitchen options available at Howdens was impressive, and I was able to find the perfect design that suited my style.
Howdens were incredibly helpful in assisting me with the design and layout of my kitchen namely Nicole. She listened attentively to my ideas and provided valuable suggestions and recommendations.
The quality of the kitchen products I purchased from Howdens exceeds my expectations. The materials used are sturdy, durable, and built to last.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the Woodford Green branch and will certainly be dealing with them again in the future.
Thanks to everyone involved!

Give Albert a raise, period
Really great team, very friendly and welcoming for non-experts. Albert in particular is stellar; extremely patient and helpful with us as we had a number of structural challenges to balance when designing the kitchen.

Ansaar "your the man" thank you
Big shout out to Ansaar at Woodford for his patience and expertise in delivering our dream kitchen. Finally completed our ground floor extension and the kitchen is the star of the show. Having not bought a new kitchen for over 20 years it was overwhelming. I went to all the major companies first and Howdens was last. They offer the best value for money and the service from start to finish was excellent.

The design was excellent, the way the kitchen looks is incredible and the service from the team at Woodford were exceptional. Ansaar joined the project half way through and his improvements were extremely value add. Ansaar was always willing to assist were required in a very quick turnaround time, which included visits at our home to drop off any additional items. Thanks to Howdens. Very hall customer.

Great customer service from all the team Especially Michael . Everyone is helpful with customers. I suggest all local public to try once and see the difference from other the stores.
