“Cook And Baker Kitchen Design were in charge of designing and fitting a new kitchen in our recently extended semi-detached Victorian house. David managed the project and, from the start, he had a lot of useful advice which we took on board and are glad we did. He also managed to fit in everything that was physically (and aesthetically) possible so that we ended up with enough storage for our needs. Throughout the whole process, David kept us informed and paid regular visits in order to make sure that things were running smoothly. He even stepped in when there was the risk of a delay from the builders’ side and pressed on so schedules were kept. The budgeting was very transparent and the payments were made after each completed stage. Graham, the fitter did an excellent job. We were really impressed by his attention to detail, his meticulous approach and his can-do attitude - qualities which are surprisingly hard to come by, from our experience. We have enjoyed working with David and Graham very much. It was one of the few hassle-free projects we’ve had since we started the extending/renovating work on our house and it was dealt with in a very professional, courteous and friendly manner. We couldn’t have asked for more. The overall result is a high quality kitchen which not only looks good, but is also practical, functional and a pleasure to use. We would be very happy to recommend Cook And Baker Kitchen Design to friends and family or anyone else embarking on a similar project.”

“We have used Fiona Watkins on a number of our projects, but our development of 'Larchwood', as a new build contemporary home, was the largest of these assignments. Fiona delivered a full service interior design, including but limited to: decor, finishings, kitchen, bathrooms, lighting and furniture. We truly believe that this fabulous, high value home would not have turned out as well as it did, without Fiona's design management. Fiona is not only an exceptional interior designer but her personable approach both with us and the contractor's on site made it so much more an enjoyable experience. Her services were also extended to the procurement of a variety of fixtures and finishings, including the kitchen and bathroom. She was able to negotiate some terrific deals and made considerable cost savings to the project. We would highly recommend Fiona to anyone wishing to appoint a talented Interior Designer.

“Back in the closing weeks of 2008, we provided David Lisle with a description of the space, our requirements, some dimensions and a couple of photos. It wasn’t long before he began sketching free hand on a large sheet of paper with a biro, producing imaginative, striking and unique ideas as he worked. His years of experience had clearly given him a strong appreciation of the practical ergonomics of a workspace, but it was the beauty of his creation that was always front and centre. Over the following few days, we threw ideas to and fro until we arrived at a genuinely exciting design. Other than the oven housing, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, there were no “standard units” in the room. If the space needed a 617mm drawer unit, then that was what David designed and specified. There are no random filler strips in his work other than those necessary to cater for the inherent imperfections in all walls. His design was 100% bespoke and it showed in David’s sketches and technical drawings. The install was expected to take 5 weeks, and in-spite of some heavy February snow causing some issues, the project was delivered exactly on time. There were 17 craftsmen/women involved in the creation of our room and every one of them provided a superb and professional service. Once completed, the kitchen was simply stunning. It’s 7 years since the install and nearly everyone who has ever stepped into the room has commented on how lovely it is. Other than a few small pieces of general wear and tear, the room looks as perfect as the day it was installed and I attribute this primarily to the quality of the product. A David Lisle kitchen really does represent ‘value for money’. There are other, lower cost ways of installing a new kitchen, but these will not come close to the level of quality, unique design, bespoke service and attention to detail delivered with a David Lisle kitchen. We feel that our kitchen was worth every penny, and it continues to give us pleasure every day. Consequently we have no hesitation in recommending David Lisle to anyone in the market for a new kitchen, especially if they want to make a lasting statement with the room.”
