The Kitchen Quality is Outstanding

From start to finish the service from Jamie, Jack and Chris was exceptional. Jamie designed us our dream kitchen! The whole process was made so easy and enjoyable. We made no changes to Jamie’s design and decided to add on a few fancy extras. Jack and Jamie are great to work with, incredibly responsive, listen to your needs and deliver. The kitchen quality is outstanding, and has exceeded expectations! Fitting was incredibly efficient and hassle free.

Very Happy to Wholeheartedly Recommend Howard

Excellent customer service. Jamie designed an excellent kitchen for a small space, creating amazing storage. His ideas for the choice of finish on the cabinets, walls and worktop really suited the space and complemented the home. We are delighted with the quality of appliances, cabinets and worktop. Our queries have been handled promptly and courteously. Very happy to wholeheartedly recommend Howards.

We Would Absolutely Recommend These Guys

Totally in love with our new kitchen from Howard Kitchens & Interiors. From the initial design (which took a bold new perspective on the existing kitchen) to the project management, fitting and aftercare, we couldn’t have asked for more. The team surrounding Howard Kitchens also worked very efficiently, with no delays. Not only does the new kitchen look amazing, it functions really well, maximising appliances and workspace, making it a perfect for hosting friends and for family life in general. We would absolutely recommend these guys to anyone considering a new kitchen.

A Pleasure To Do Business With Them

We needed our small kitchen to be redesigned to work better for us. Jamie guided us through the process and we’ve ended up with a beautiful kitchen that has extra cupboards and work space but so well designed that it somehow feels bigger .
Jamie ( and Jack ! ) were so helpful and friendly that it made it a pleasure to do business with them.

Mick Pearce

Very Pleased With the Design

Very pleased with the design as we didn’t think we could fit in an island as not a very big space but now have loads of storage. The fitting went without a hitch and kept to the timescales. All fitters were very friendly and professional. Thanks Jamie and Jack for our fantastic new bright kitchen.
