I do not recommend opening a trade account with Howdens. Howdens failed to deliver the correct specification as ordered. They did eventually replace the certain items required but I had to pay my builder extra time to fit as a result. However they still chased me for payment and immediately threatened me with a County Court Claim without understanding my explanation that they had failed to send the correct products as ordered which had huge repercussions. As COVID-19 happened Howdens remained obstinate and inconsiderate and still insisted I pay in full threatening a county court judgement against me/my company. I have now paid in full, but it has wiped all my available business funds. I have now requested for my trade account to be closed and do not wish to work with them again and will NOT recommend Howdens further more to my customers.
