Customer Testimonials

Ruth & Graham – Hampshire – Kitchen

Dual Designs came highly recommended by a good friend and it was easy to see why. Such a pleasure to work with Mark to refit our kitchen. He listened to all of our wants and needs and found a way to factor all of these into his design. Our kitchen was perhaps smaller than many but this did not diminish his enthusiasm for the project, in fact he helped us to find lots of neat ways to maximise our space. As Mark said when he first visited us, no job is too large or small for Dual Designs.

Charlie & Madeleine – Surrey – Kitchen

We can’t rate Mark high enough. Our kitchen is a dream come true. Great design and superb build quality all at a very competitive price.

Samantha – Hampshire – Kitchen

Dual Designs previously and it was amazing, great use of space and beautifully finished. They have done another one for us and its exactly what I have imagined, they were brilliant in their communications, thought the whole kitchen through so perfectly and it looks stunning. They took my brief and made it better, they are just brilliant and having worked with a lot of contractors I cannot fault this one and their work is to the highest level. I would recommend them to all my friends and feel lucky to have found them. Thank you Dual Designs.

Paul & Alice – London – Kitchen

Mark is an excellent kitchen designer. He was fully involved in the process from start to finish and built us a kitchen that was perfectly tailored to our style. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the frames and work surfaces, and Mark’s recommendations for utilities such as range cooker and wine fridge options. Would highly recommend Mark for his quality kitchen design and implementation.

Fiona James – London – Kitchen

Dual Designs is a relatively small company but by our experience makes them more the perfect company to use. We recently chose them to design and make our dream kitchen. From start to completion Mark kept us informed and answered anything we needed to know. Nothing was too much trouble and we even made some last minute changes, which were amended without hesitation. The installation of our kitchen, appliances and worktops were fitted to perfection, even their stone guys said they like to fit Dual’s worktops because they know everything will be right, which must be high praise. Cannot thank Mark and Dual Designs enough for bringing our dream to reality, they are simply the best.

Amy Elizabeth Interiors – Hampshire – Kitchen Stylist

I had a great experience working alongside Mark to accessorise and style a beautiful kitchen he designed for his clients. The kitchen itself was incredible and the attention to detail/finishes gave it a luxurious edge. This made my styling an easy task to tie in with the elegant, timeless end look of the kitchen. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend working with Mark, he’s super friendly and professional and I was extremely honoured to be involved in such a prestigious project. Thank you 🙂

Gill & Nick – Surrey – Kitchen

I was dreading having the kitchen refitted but the whole process was amazingly painless, with I have to say, hardly any major disruption. I am absolutely delighted with my new kitchen, from the design to the finishing touches. I had been researching everything I wanted for quite a few years and was expecting to be able to achieve the majority of things but not to have everything I wanted. I decided quite early on that either Mark is a mind reader or just really good at interpreting what I was trying to achieve. I was amazed at the first drawings. I’d got everything I wanted in the limited space available. Mark was really helpful and patient when I was struggling to chose some of the colours and always gave an honest opinion if asked. My friends and family think the kitchen is beautiful – as do we. Thanks to Mark and the team

Sue – Surrey – Lounge Furniture

Mark and his team at Dual Designs have recently installed beautiful shelving and a cupboard in our period cottage. The craftsmanship and customer service from conception to completion has been exemplary and particularly during these challenging times during ‘Life Under Covid’ ! We look forward to using Dual Designs again in the future and meanwhile wish Mark and his team the very best with their future enterprises. Clearly worthy winners of Houzz Awards over the last 4 consecutive years!

Dexter – London – Wardrobes

Dual Designs completed an excellent job, produced to a very high standard, on time with no problems or issues. Very tidy work, pleasure to have around. Would recommend to all. Five Stars!

Molly – Surrey – Kitchen

We couldn’t be happier with Dual Designs. Their creative ideas and attention to detail were all perfect. We went to many high end quality companies, though Dual Designs could match and mostly surpass all them. This included from the beginning the design (of whom were the only ones to encompass our total brief), options of appliances, worktops etc, easy to work with, the quality of the furniture (love dovetail drawers) and fitting … perfect! We can’t recommend Mark and Dual Designs highly enough. Thanks Molly

Ruth – Surrey – Kitchen

As part of a renovation project I instructed Mark to create, design and deliver a new kitchen. From the outset he has been a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond in helping us to choose not only the right kitchen for us but also many of the appliances as well. In addition he worked within the budget we had agreed and also to a very tight timescale.

We are delighted with the results and everyday we are in the kitchen (a lot at the moment due to lockdown!) we are delighted – it has made our house a home. Thank you Mark/ Dual Designs for taking on this project and for delivering a great result.

Emma – Surrey – Kitchen

The kitchen Mark designed for us is everything that we wanted and just love our new space. We had quite a few companies quote and design the kitchen, but Mark understood exactly what we wanted and this shows in the finished kitchen. The quality is just what we were looking for and will definitely last.

Dual Designs supplying all of the work connected to the kitchen, made life so much easier and the whole project went so well.

We would so recommend Mark for all of his expertise, being so helpful and being so thoroughly nice. Thank you.

Darren – Surrey – Kitchen

From the design and problem solving stage to the finished product, I can’t recommend this company enough. Experts in their field, font of knowledge and easy to work with. Highly recommended !!

Mathew Askew – West Sussex – Kitchen, Dining and Utility

Dual Designs have done an amazing job. We wanted to refurbish our kitchen, dining and utility areas. We wasn’t sure of the layout or style of the kitchen, but had some things that we definitely wanted including. Mark managed to come up with great ideas and a design we thought was perfect.

The detailing that went into all of the work, which included the new floor was impressive. Always very responsive to any questions we had, before and during the work. All of the work went really well, keeping to the deadline throughout. We are so pleased with the whole space. The kitchen itself works so well and the quality is excellent. We would of course highly recommend Dual Designs and we’ll be coming back soon for our bedroom and wardrobes.
Billy Rollo – West Byfleet – Kitchen

Mark has produced a beautiful kitchen for us exactly how we wanted it, the quality is very obvious and the attention to detail spot on.
Very pleased with it and have had loads of comments from visitors, all for a great price.
Thank you.

Indriatti – London – Kitchen

Our interior designer recommended that we use dual designs for our kitchen joinery and we were not let down.

The quality and detailing of the joinery was done to a very high standard (superior to many high end kitchen specialists) and the team were able to work around some obstacles in our kitchen e.g. a slanted ceiling.

The work was completed on time and on budget and I would recommend dual designs to anyone looking for high quality and specification kitchen.

Thank you to Mark and the team for all their hard work.

RJV designs ltd – Fulham – Kitchen

The second project a small job: ‘just a kitchen’ in the most wonky house imaginable, there wasn’t a single 90⁰ angle in the room which made it just a little difficult for installation. However, the client is ecstatic with her kitchen, loves that fact that even in a small space we have managed to give her all the extras she wanted: drawer dishwasher, warming drawer, larder style unit, large cutlery drawer etc etc and all within the budget that was allowed.
We at RJV Designs have been extremely happy with all our dealings with Mark and Dual Designs, working with one supplier with a wide range of kitchens and fitted furniture to select from and who also installs is a great asset as far as we are concerned. We will be using Dual Designs again in the future and have no hesitation in recommending him and his team.

Rowena Schroeder – London – Kitchen

We wanted a new kitchen and small utility room as part of our total remodeling and refurbishing of our ground floor house. Mark listened to our, extremely long, list of ideas and ‘wants’ and somehow managed to combine them all into a practical, clever solution whilst also suggesting a lovely aesthetic touch that inspired us in our ‘designing’ decision making. He had to work around the builders tight schedule on a site that often was very full of other trades. He accommodated changes we made to the utility room days before fitting without complaint. We had some issues with a third party supplier error which he sorted very successfully on our behalf. During the main part of the project his communication, support and response times were very good. We are delighted with the finished kitchen.

Susan Herring – Putney – Lounge Furniture

If I could give Mark 10 stars I would. He is incredibly patient and kind and the living room units look fabulous! I am especially pleased because both units needed to be built into difficult walls.
The wall for the larger unit has a sloped mansard beam in one corner with five angled surfaces. The other wall had a very shallow nook at the end, where we wanted a unit to store stereo equipment. For both units, the measurements needed to be extremely precise. As you can see, Mark did the job perfectly.
I’ve included a few photos to show the difficulty of the walls. I apologize that they do not show the beauty of the units to their fullest–the living room is still under construction.
Do not hesitate to contact Mark, I am sure he will do a marvelous job for you.

Lisette Voute Designs – Kensington – Kitchen and Bathroom Vanity units

Mark was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end, which led to a seamless kitchen design, making and installation. He was very responsive, always very helpful and happy to accommodate our requests. His timeline is pretty quick for a bespoke kitchen and he is quick to pop into site for odd jobs/final bits and pieces on an ad hoc basis, which is very helpful too! Thank you Mark for creating a beautiful, high quality bespoke kitchen.

Rebecca, Surrey – Three Bedroom Wardrobes – Two Study’s

We were delighted with Mark’s design for wardrobes for 3 bedrooms and book cases/cupboard units for our study. We talked through the internal fittings and chose the colours carefully. When we decided we needed 1 more, but with DVD shelving on the side, it matched perfectly. Mark came and fitted when he said he would. And the price suited our budget. Very happy customers.

David, London – Kitchen

Mark came round to my flat, listened to my requirements for a new kitchen. He went away and designed a kitchen that was not only exactly what I wanted, but fitted the space available. He managed the project, arranging the different contractors around my schedules, and supervised their work. He is a consummate professional, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants a job done properly.

Nadia & Mat, Surrey – Kitchen

We used Dual Designs for our kitchen. We were having a building extension done which meant timescales were changeable. Mark was excellent and very flexible to fit in with our builder, which helped a lot with the stress and pressure. He has a very calm, personable yet professional manner and spent a long time talking to us to fully understand what we wanted. His design was beautiful and the fitting process was wonderfully smooth. He went above and beyond to source a worktop that was aesthetically what we wanted yet within our budget. We are delighted with the finished kitchen and couldn’t have asked for more!

Bumble, London – Kitchen

Mark was a complete breath of fresh air when he joined our kitchen project. His professionalism and expertise were immediately apparent, and together with his vast experience, he was able to get on with the task in hand and steer our new kitchen to completion. He always had a solution when problems presented themselves (does any new kitchen ever run totally to plan?), and was such a positive influence to have around, that I would recommend him without hesitation.

RJV Designs ltd London – Kitchen, Bedroom, Office, Lounge, Utility

We have now worked with Mark Andrews of Dual Designs on two different projects. It has been a great experience. Mark has always understood exactly what I am trying to achieve, the budgetry constraints and the style we are aiming for.

The first project was a large family house in Fulham, which was completely gutted. One of the requests from the client was storage and as much as possible! This included built in wardrobes, office shelving and a large family kitchen. It was easy working with Mark; he took our designs, ideas and budget and came up with creative solutions where necessary or just made our designs. Where necessary Mark would make informed and apposite suggestions at how the design should or could be altered for the better. On installation there were a few issues which were all dealt with by Mark with the same calm, efficient and professional manner that we have come to expect from him.

Mrs Sheppard, Surrey – Kitchen

Dual Designs were recommended to us and they certainly didn’t let us down. Our kitchen has everything that we wanted and is very practical to live in. Along with our own ideas, Dual Designs helped blend these with their knowledge to achieve the kitchen that we are so pleased with. The attention to detail from the design through to the fitting has been first class and would recommend them to everyone. The quality of the furniture is excellent craftsmanship and we can easily see it will last long into the future.

Gail, Kensington – Kitchen

Dual Designs have been extremely helpful in giving me what is a very functional and attractive kitchen in a small space. I appointed a Project Manager/Designer who selected Dual Designs to carry out her initial plan and Mark was responsible for ensuring the plan worked and was fitted to the specifications. The bespoke work he did in fitting a narrow set of drawers, a roller door covering a set of adjustable shelves, a strong and smooth L-shaped saucepan rack to access an under-counter corner cupboard easily, are among some of the items suggested and installed. Additionally, he sourced appliances very much to my request and satisfaction (extractor hood, hob, oven, washer/dryer). Furthermore, and above and beyond the call of duty, he gave his time willingly to attend in person at my flat to admit the Bosch engineer to correct an electrician’s mistake made during the hob’s installation. I can only say that I am very happy with the service I have had from Dual Designs, and continue to enjoy the resulting beautiful kitchen.

Libby, London – Bedroom, Lounge Furniture

Mark is extremely helpful every step of the way. He is creative from the beginning, helping me with pertinent design questions for furniture in both my bedroom and my sitting room. He then calmly oversaw the whole fitting process. The quality of Mark’s work is excellent, including great attention to detail and understanding what I wanted. The result fits perfectly and is beautiful.

Garnett, Putney, London – Kitchen, Wardrobes, Office, Lounge, Bar Area, TV Consul & Radiator Covers

Mark Andrews undertook the design, building and installation of a comprehensive range of built-in units in the course of the modernisation of our house. We found him to be a talented designer who came up with interesting ideas both from a visual standpoint and from the practical aspect of making best use of space. The subsequent installation was completed on time and was planned with a high degree of precision which resulted in the installation being trouble free. So pleased were we with his work that we subsequently commissioned him to design a complete new kitchen involving very careful planning. High quality design and maximisation of available space were achieved coupled with a degree of durability which makes the kitchen look as new as it did upon completion. We found Mark very pleasant to work with. He was reliable and enjoyed the challenges which he was faced with. We are delighted with the outcome.
