We considered Howdens when we gutted our house - our builders suggested Howdens because they had a 'working relationship' with them. Nudge, nudge! I've heard good things about them but in the end we opted for Ikea and we are very happy with the price and quality. The one piece of advise though is do not get the work top - wood or whatever else - from Ikea. They are overpriced. We have a mix of quartz worktop from Norbury - great price and great installation - and Oak, which we ordered online and our builders installed it. If you want any contacts then drop me a message. I can recommend a few places. Good luck and make sure that you make a week available to assemble it. Ikea flat-packs are the typicla mistery, wrapped in an enigma and then in a mystery!
