As BB says above setting out is key, the first plank you fit dictates where all the rest sit.
25% waste does sound excessive.
Is your flooring Quick Step vinyl click planks? if so it's one of the better products that Howdens sell.
Their kitchens & internal/external doors are very mediocre at best.
Similar. Has a soft rubber inner and smaller click together tabs. I think my Howdens kitchen is great but got it in sale with additional 30% off. Not worth top whack. Their appliances are very good, again got the trade discount on those. A few friends have bought Wren kitchens and they’ve paid a lot more for materials and labour.
