Really fantastic customer service from the staff at the Rayleigh, Essex branch. Super helpful and cheerful and polite
From Connie on the sales desk who sorted out my order, some returns, a few questions from me and also grabbed a length of cornice from the warehouse so I could take a look before purchasing
The guy who brought my order out was also fantastic, apologising for the delay, although really it was no more than 5 minutes since placing the order at the desk. Again, really happy chap, a great ambassador to the company
Always excellent helpful service!

The level of service the Southend depot provides is fantastic . They always try and help you out even if it's almost closing time , like when I came in the other day with 15 mins until closing. I offered to come back to collect what I ordered the following day. But they were more than happy to pull it all for me and help load it on my van. Also very polite

Damaged door.…
Nikki from Howdens Southend depot was very helpful when i had an issue with a door i had purchased.
Southend did not have a door in stock, Nikki then rang round to find one which my customer then went and picked up from the Chelmsford depot to enable me to finish the customers job. Much appreciated Nikki, thank you, Mick Clark.

I plumped for Howdens (Southend) when shopping for a kitchen. I was able to use their service as my builder/fitter had a trade account with them. I introduced myself at my local Howdens depot and began the process. Howdens arranged for a designer (Jodi) to visit my home to measure up. She produced a plan I agreed with and the project began to move forward. Jodi also communicated with me throughout, guiding me through as minor adjustments were made. I praise her for her patience. The job's a good'un and I'm delighted with the result.

Hassle free buying.
After much searching online with no results, I was pleased to find that Howdens had the threshold strips I needed in stock. I placed an order late evening and picked up 7.30 next morning.
Very easy transaction with friendly helpful staff.
Thanks.
