Howdens - Trafford Park Reviews 66

I recently purchased the Clerkenwell Gloss Porcelain kitchen along with appliances from Howdens in Trafford.

I was initially recommended Howdens by a builder we were working with.

After getting in touch, Alison visited my home to discuss exactly what I was looking for. Her knowledge and experience really stood out—she offered thoughtful suggestions that helped shape the final design.

Once everything was measured and planned, the process moved smoothly, and the end result is I now have my dream kitchen. Its everything I wanted and more. The appliances are A-rated and come with a 3-year warranty, which is a great added bonus.
I would 100% recommend Howdens to anyone considering a new kitchen.

Very happy with the quality of service. The staff at the Trafford depot are great—especially Sarah and Ian, who were very helpful. Highly recommended.

We visited with Howdens Trafford Park and had Ally Ratchford the kitchen designer come to our home who provided a streamline, positive experience when ordering a kitchen and appliances.
The service, appliances and kitchen is excellent quality, we are so happy Ally is coming out next week to give us a price and plan for fitted wardrobes

Very good and very good quality

Great service and pleasant atmosphere, I hope it stays like this at Trafford Park, best regards

The people at the trafford park branch, go over ad above, everyone's got a smile on there faces, it does really make a difference when your having a great day, Sarah is a real credit to your company 😀

Our fantastic builders Renbuild construction (Chris) recommended using Howdens in Trafford Park for our new kitchen. We spoke to Ally (Alison) who came & measured up a fairly tight small space & designed a beautiful kitchen to provide lots of light, storage & a gorgeous finish. Ally was so helpful & approachable with my 57 million questions that I fired over daily. The kitchen is now installed with inter grated appliances & it’s beautiful! We also used Allly to order all our internal door which are also excellent quality. Id highly recommend speaking to Ally in the Trafford Park store if you’re considering a new kutchen or doors (they also do bedrooms). Thanks a million Ally ❤️ Lisa & Tony @ Stothard

We had a fantastic experience with Trafford Park Howdens. A huge thank you to Pearl Cavaney, who was incredibly helpful from start to finish. She really listened to what we wanted, worked closely with our inspiration images, and designed a kitchen that perfectly suited both our style and our budget. Pearl made the whole process smooth and stress-free, ensuring every detail was just as we wanted. We’re absolutely thrilled with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pearl and the Trafford Park team.

After having quotes from several kitchen suppliers that were way out of our budget, we decided to go with Howdens through the Trafford Park branch. There are a few reasons for this: Nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a very large room and some definite ideas of what we wanted it to look like and had the plans altered MANY times (we had decision paralysis!)before settling our our design and layout.
Pearl. Pearl is the kitchen designer we worked with and, to say she has the patience of a saint is a huge understatement! What a girl she is! She had so many great ideas that she brought to the table and was so knowledgeable and accommodating. An absolute asset to Howdens.
Quality. The cabinets we decided on were on display in the show office so we were able to compare the build quality to the other suppliers and they have not disappointed so far! We went for the bespoke Fir Green option in the and, 6 months on, it still looks brand new.
I can’t tell you how impressed I am from start to finish. I’ve ordered a few drawer inserts etc since the fitting and they’ve all been available to collect either the same day or the day after. Having a good kitchen fitter is paramount to achieving the best result so I would recommend not scrimping here! Overall, an absolutely seamless, easy and pleasant process and I’d highly recommend Howdens for a high quality build and look but not the Tom Howley or Devol price tag!

Fab experience with Pearl at Howdens knowledgeable, friendly nothing too much trouble. Pearl even came over to see the finished kitchen and brought the missing sink plug. Howdens kitchens great quality Blum all the way.
Highly recommend Howdens and Pearl

Dealing with Pearl at Howdens Trafford Park was so easy. She was patient and her knowledge was exemplary
We would not hesitate in recommending the above.

Really happy with our new kitchen from Howdens. The whole process was smooth, from design to delivery. Pearl Cavaney was fantastic to work with – she really listened to what we wanted and came up with a design that made the most of the space while still looking great.
Delivery was on time and everything arrived in good condition.
The kitchen looks amazing now it’s all in, and we’re so pleased with the quality and finish. Would definitely recommend Howdens – and especially Pearl – if you're planning a new kitchen.

I purchased my kitchen 10months ago and am still completely in love with it. The service from Trafford park howdens has been exceptional from discovery stage, purchase and aftercare! I worked with Pearl who is extremely talented in her craft and planning vision (especially with dealing in awkward spaces). It’s a welcome experience, particularly when you have experienced some poor exchanges in the trade industry so thank you!!

We have used all the main kitchen retailers & we always recommend our designer Pearl from Howdens to our clients as the best to deal with . With so many different parts involved in the construction of a kitchen you need to have a team with product knowledge & assistants on call . Howdens are the best in this field by far , add to that parts availability from multiple outlets across Manchester & you have the best service a kitchen fitter can ask for . This means your kitchen is fitted quicker & extra costs are minimised .

Fantastic service from Howdens at Stretford. Special thanks to Ali who listened to eberything wecwanted and designed our perfect kitchen.

Poor service all round. The worktops they installed are not square and the backboards are appalling. Been waiting 2 years for a resolution.

5-star service from Howdens in Stretford! Alison and Zora were amazing in helping me select the perfect fitted wardrobes and downstairs storage solutions which I am over the moon with. Their CAD drawings showcased their precision and attention to detail, allowing me to visualise the final result before installation. They turned what could have been a stressful process into an enjoyable, seamless experience. Their expertise and friendly approach made all the difference. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Howdens to anyone looking for quality cabinetry with great customer service!

I would certainly recommend Trafford Park Howdens for their excellent customer service, time, patience, experience and high quality kitchens. I absolutely love my new kitchen and I'm thankful to Ally and the team for all their support from start to finish.

Howdens Stretford were recommended by my builder & I could not have been happier with their service. From start to finish, Ally was on hand to answer questions & offer advice. She was so very patient throughout the design phase, until I had the exact design that I wanted. The quality of the product is excellent. There were a couple of minor issues that cropped up but these were remedied quickly & efficiently. I cannot fault their service & would highly recommend.
