Howdens vs Sigma kitchen

[ThoughtThroughThough]

Hello all! After some wisdom of people on this forum. We are looking to replace our kitchen. I have done a design run with Howdens but revisited a Sigma 3 show room after a recommendation. The Howdens show room looks ok, but Sigma display kitchens are quiet trendy.
I am now in two minds whether to finalise the design with Howdens or to start on with Sigma. I have got a fair idea of Howden's pricing but Sigma 3 I haven't got a clue.
Any one here who has got Sigma 3 kitchen? Or know much about its pricing? How are the kitchens?
If Sigma 3 is ££ more than Howdens, is it worth that extra spend?
Please help me by telling me the difference between the two, so I am a bit closer to making my mind up about what to buy.

Op if see more of she shop around when you get an idea of costs then you can bargain with howdens.
Someone here said they got 6 grand knocked off!!

Have you looked at diy kitchens online? I always recommend on threads like this! They are way better quality than Howdens and you get a lot more for your money. Don't be fooled by the name, it's diy in that they don't offer a design service as such. But they will produce a shopping basket from a plan (send them Howdens plan) and sense check your order. But nothing else about it is diy. I saved several thousand even though I upgraded to wire work in the cupboards and quartz worktops.

Thank you for your reply. I know about them and ordered the sample doors from them too. But,having read the reviews online about their customer service, has put me off. I am worried that it will be endless calls and emails back and forth, if any issues arise. The sample door I order was nice but haven't seen a kitchen in person. How was your experience like? How does your kitchen look?

Thank you for your reply. Sigma are slightly evasive with their pricing, when I went in. I need to decide what to get. Will bring my haggling face out after that 😂.

Op if you have priced up with DIY you have your bargaining standard?

I too and reticent about DIY and back and forth trying to sort stuff, I got which magazine and howdens have done well, as has ikea. Ikea was by far the best kitchen in terms of clever bits but also hassle unfortunately.
