MFI kitchens same as Howden's range?

I bought my kitchen from MFI in 2003. Obviously I know that they went bust some time ago. When my kitchen was delivered I remember my fitter said that if anything was missing or broken they would go to Howden's for a replacement.

I have had problems with damp in my kitchen and may need to replace one or two cupboard doors. I have looked at Howden's website and their Burford Beech range looks the same as my kitchen. I just wondered if there is any way of finding out if this is definitely the same kitchen.

I believe that Howden only sell to tradespeople but that shouldn't be an issue as I would be using a joiner. I can't remember off the top of my head what the kitchen from MFI was called (pretty sure they didn't call if Burford Beech) but probably have the paperwork somewhere if it would help to know the name, Thanks for any advise.

I have a 10 year old MFI kichen (not the same style as yours) but I got a replacement Howdens cupboard door which was the same range. Could your joiner advise?

Take one of the cabinet doors into Howdens and compare. They will probably sell you one on a 'one off user' account.

Yes, hopefully, my joiner will be able to advise. I've left a message for him so hopefully he will get back to me next week.

how does a 'one off user' account work?

As it sounds. You go in there, ask to buy something and they set you up as a 'one time user' (as opposed to a credit account holder) so you can purchase a door.
