At a guess, that looks like Hockley in-frame in charcoal with a matt finish.

I don't have it, but it's one of their more expensive options so the quality is likely to be good.

It doesn't look in frame to me but it's either the Hockley or the Greenwich. As PP has said, Hockley is a premium range whereas Greenwich is the budget range. Hockley is what we are going for and can be handless, either in gloss or super matt finish

We have the Chilcolm in frame kitchen and are very happy with the quality. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for their Lamona appliances which we have had issues with. Would recommend their kitchen cabinets and the worktops but stay clear of the appliances.

Here's some more pictures of it.

We've been quoted for their dishwasher....what problems have you had?

This - we have a fantastic kitchen but the appliances are not good.

It looks more like marine blue in the second picture.

I've got Chilcomb, not in-frame, in charcoal - cabinets are really nice. I've gone with Bosch appliances mostly.

@webster1987 The oven popped within 10 minutes of the first time it was used. It was replaced without an issue. The bulb of the replacement oven died after a month. After 8 months the fridge part of the fridge freezer failed (in the first week of the New Year and we lost lots of food) as the temperature inside hit 10C It was replaced without any issues, however the replacement is not great and does not keep to an acceptable, safe temperature. Currently trying to resolve this with Howdens.

I had the Hockley Walnut fitted in October with the Lamona dishwasher, induction hob and oven. Very pleased with them. We wanted something very simple and with a MCM vibe and, although our kitchen isn't big, we have lots of storage, including a pantry cupboard with pull out drawers. Still need some redecorating to get rid of the orange pine around the window

It looks very similar to yours doesn't it. So it probably is a Hockley.

I had the Elmhurst units but all Bosch fitted appliances with a Rangemaster oven with induction hob. Been very happy with it all.

GoingOutShoes · 15/03/2024 01:06

That would be Elmbridge in porcelain colour with antique brass handles, taps etc. Oak worktops, white butler sink and drainer. Why I said Elmhurst I have no idea.

Does anyone know if it comes with an integrated washer / dryer door? Thank you.

You can have integrated appliances across the whole range. I think it's the same door, regardless of whether there is an appliance behind it or cupboard space.

NB If you don't get the appliances from Howdens, it's worth checking the dimensions of anything you buy separately against the internal dimensions of the cabinets just to make sure. I bought a heat pump tumble dryer from AO and not all of the ones available would have fitted.

Hello. We're currently waiting on a design and quote from Howdens for a Chilcomb kitchen, so reading threads about them and this has been very helpful. Will also probably stay clear of their appliances then and go with Bosch or similar.

Question for those who have already had their kitchens done... If you've gone for an induction hob on an island or peninsula facing out into the room, have you regretted it? Trying to think of any cons. Currently have a standard gas hob facing the wall, but switching = extra cupboard space on that wall, and a more sociable vibe when cooking...

startingoveragainagain · 23/03/2024 21:27

I've been to view the house that the kitchen will be going into again today (it's a new build) and they've changed which units will be going into the house i'm considering to these.
Do you know which model it is? And which quartz it is? Thank you!

We've had our Chilcomb design back from Howdens, and it looks pretty similar OP?
