  • In my experience magnet is shocking. I've have so many problems with their design service and units that I add 20% to my prices to cover the inevitable fuck ups when quoting an install where they are involved.

    Howdens have everything delivered from stock. You need to be an account holder but I have an account. I think you'd be able to get the design done and order the units using my account number then pay cash. Plus you can go to a dept to see the standard of the units etc.

  • Thank you. Mentioned magnet as they won which award. Am opposed to howdens as the warranty is with the builder, but looking at others warranty that doesn't matter. Last chat I had I was offered 60 days credit on opening an account.

    Looks like it will be me doing the work so, so am lost. Want it all done in a few days. Inc fucking about with electrics.

  • If you are going to undertake the work yourself, then the best advice I can give you is not to rush it or set yourself tight deadlines. There is an old saying in my industry "haste makes waste" I find it to be true, if you rush you are much more likely to make a fuck up. I would always plan for at least a week for a small kitchen, more if you include tiling, decor etc, as there is a lot of work involved and as the components are expensive it is costly to make mistakes.

  • New account sign ups and end of month sales targets are a big part of Howdens bonus system.
