Single storey rear kitchen extension - really pleased with the new kitchen. Yuri and his men built the extension and did all of the ground work too and then fitted the kitchen for me. As my existing kitchen plus the new kitchen extension together, is a very unusual shape, the fitting of the new units and appliances would have stumped most builders or kitchen fitters and I know that it was a very difficult job but Yuri fitted everything really well and kept his sense of humour at the same time.

The team from N W Howe & Son did an excellent job in the painting of our hall, two flights of stairs and landings.

Kitchen Fitting- 7 Mar 2020
From the get go, Raj and his team were a pleasure to deal with and have working in our home. The quoting and design stage was clear and efficient, and he recommended some great features for our kitchen build. They recommended we get our kitchen from Howdens and we are very impressed with the quality. We had the entire kitchen - floor to ceiling worked on, so new lighting layout and flooring as well. The work started on time and Raj and his team broke down everything that had was carried out each day and when certain processes were about to happen. They done a fantastic job fitting it all, it looks really nice and you can tell they take pride in their work due to their attention to detail. I highly recommend them and they will be my first choice for any other work I need carried out in the future.
