Howdens keep their kitchens in stock in their depots, so if it’s all designed and chosen, you can often have it delivered in a week.
I got kitchen designed, made some changes, and once paid for, I had it delivered in 5 days.They have worktops in stock too, including some 20mm Quartz, any Quartz, granite normally gets templated after units are in, so kitchen won’t be functional for a few more weeks if that’s what you want.
You need a trade account, or a kitchen fitter to purchase it through.
Downside is no financing options, which is normal for Wren, Magnet, etc.
Also much less options on colours and appliances.I think Wren, Magnet, Wickes lead times are fairly substantial at the moment. Wickes was our preference until my mate sorted me out with a great price on the Howdens.

We're about to have a Wren kitchen installed - lead time was 4x weeks but they were calling me up asking if they could deliver earlier.
They have their own fitters too but we binned those off after they visited us to measure up - let's just say they didn't inspire any confidence.
Wren are premade so DIY fitting should be easier in theory.
They have their critics but our local Howdens were awful and Magnet wasn't quite what we wanted. But YMMV

Any clues on where would give the best lead time on kitchen units and work surface? Would prefer all under one roof. Have been faffing and need kitchen done by Feb 5th but DIY Kitchens, where I've measured up so far are saying earliest is week starting 17th Jan. I can't get any sense out of IKEA - do wren/howdens/magnet etc have quicker leads in any forum experience?
