Need a Howdens Kitchen Fitted in Merthyr Tydfil?

Fixings are the first thing we settle on a Merthyr Howdens job. Solid Pennant sandstone with old lime mortar behind it will not take the plugs that come in a box, so a loaded run of wall units needs resin anchors or long frame fixings set into sound stone rather than into a joint, drilled on hammer only where the stone allows so we are not blowing out the face of it. Howdens carcasses are rigid and heavy once they are loaded with crockery, and the fixing is what carries all of it. We check the wall at the survey and price the correct fixings into the written quote rather than improvising with whatever is in the van.

The typical Dowlais, Penydarren or Twynyrodyn kitchen is a narrow rear outshot off the back of the house, which usually means one main run of units, a tall larder if the ceiling height allows and careful planning around the back door swing. That is a good argument for viewing the Howdens ranges before deciding, because in a room that size the door style and the storage choices matter more than in a big open kitchen. You can go and look at the displays yourself, then bring the range back to us and we will check it against the survey measurements and price it. On the Gurnos and the other post war estates the rooms are squarer, the floors flatter and the walls block, so the same kitchen goes in faster and with less scribing.

The borough is bigger than the town, and we work all of it. CF47 and CF48 cover Merthyr itself, Dowlais, Penydarren, the Gurnos, Cefn Coed, Heolgerrig, Abercanaid and down the valley through Pentrebach, Troedyrhiw, Aberfan and Merthyr Vale, and CF46 takes in Treharris, Trelewis, Quakers Yard and Bedlinog in the Taff Bargoed valley. A straight Howdens replacement in the same layout is often three to five working days including strip out, and a fuller job with services moved, plastering and levelling runs longer. Your written quote sets out the days so you are not guessing, and the trades are sequenced by us rather than chased by you.

Fitting Howdens kitchens

Howdens sell trade only, so the account and the depot relationship sit with the fitter rather than the homeowner. That makes the depot coordination part of the job, from checking the plan and lead times to arranging the delivery slot and sorting any replacement parts. Howdens units come rigid and their ranges change, so we work from the current catalogue rather than assumptions.
