Guy Dower and team fitted our kitchen over ten years ago. Fair wear and tear meant that under sink drawer was stuck and useless. Guy designed a new replacement that perfectly matches the original design. What superb craftsmen and engineers are employed by Dowers Kitchens. Dowers Does: Others Don't- go there for first class bespoke service at a reasonable price- don't waste your time going anywhere else. June 2021

Very happy with my kitchen, and the after sales service has been excellent, with any glitches sorted without any hassle. The rest of the house was well protected from any possible dirt and disruption too which I was grateful for. Very pleased all round.
