Our workshop
At Dowers we take great pride in what we do. Making each element of a new kitchen by hand means we stay true to our values. We don’t use the easiest construction techniques at the expense of quality, we don’t rely on pre-built units and we don’t cut corners! Our craftsmen are committed to creating the highest standard. One joined us from college nine years ago and now runs the workshop, and we all work closely together like a family. All this effort produces a kitchen built to last and built to serve its new owner. An indication of this is how we recently added new worktops and modified the layout for two kitchens we made over 30 years ago … both were still in amazing condition!
We’ve always believed the process of creating a kitchen should be enjoyable and exciting. It’s creative, immersive, fun and challenging at times! Our showroom has many examples of worktops, handles, finishes, drawers, units and more. We’re based in Liss (near Petersfield) in Hampshire, and we’d love you to pop in for a cup of tea to discuss your ideas – you’ll see how we work, the tools we use and just how “handmade” we really are. Please email or call us to arrange a visit.
Seamless experience
Guy and Pam started out restoring old stripped pine furniture, were asked to make furniture and then kitchens. We have worked in a washhouse and a converted pig shed, survived a devastating fire then moved to our current workshop.
In 2019 we brought our Petersfield showroom to the workshop to give our customers a seamless experience. In our spare time we are heavily involved in Petersfield Rugby Club where we are both Vice Presidents (Pam is a former head of England Women’s Rugby). And after 40 years together we are still talking and still married!
