We have now used Hickory Lane Kitchens for our 3rd new build and can't say enough wonderful things. Sandy and her team are amazing!! Sandy is extremely creative, patient, calm and lovely. Her son, Jeff, makes sure every detail in the shop along with the installation is perfect. They really are a dynamic team, with great support by Mel in the showroom and others in the shop. Their quality, value for money, professionalism, responsiveness and punctuality is unparalleled. We have had such great experiences that we did not hesitate to recommend them to our daughter and son-in-law for their new home
