Glad we just bought ours ahead of this!

Do you mind telling on discount level.

We expected 20% from howden

, based on previous, but they are sticking at about 17.

I get the feeling  that the salesman gets a cut of the difference and is pushing his luck.

A shame because I have found Howdens arseholes to deal with and have bought about a dozen from DIY kitchens.

They’ll bean-count the shit out of it…..

Couldn't possibly comment.

No I could.

The one who supplied the Steading were great: straight forward, listened and answered, and a good price straight off.

Well that is good to hear.  My experience has been that they have been difficult to deal with, I could not get the online part to work.  They often want to send out a salesperson but I had issues getting prices.  I would like to use them, as they have a branch near me but they are not easy to do business with.

The one praised was an exception.

All the above

 

The app doesn't work for me at all and they just say it should, call head office.

 

Prices on the monthly specials sheet are always worth a look but I have to collect. 

Internal doors look good. It's amazing they can do a solid room door for £45 but a kitchen unit door is £90.
