I can highly recommend Adrian at Piqu. I went to him with a firm idea of what I wanted but not a huge budget, prob the worst combination! He was amazing - went through every single tiny detail, advised on lighting, answered my endless questions, and made sure I was spending the money where I needed to and reducing costs where it didn't matter so much. He came up with so many original ideas even going as far as recreating one idea we had out of cardboard on one visit to the showroom. He was great fun to work with too which made the whole thing so much more enjoyable. When it came to the build, even though my builders were installing the kitchen, Adrian turned up on the day of delivery and helped sort out all the boxes. He discussed every detail with my builder to make sure he knew where to find everything and as a result there were absolutely no issues. I now have a fabulous kitchen and I am so delighted with it. Thank you so much!

We looked at a number of alternatives before deciding to use Piqu to design and instal our new kitchen. We were having major building work carried out on our house which resulted in a slightly awkward L-shape room for our kitchen and we were struggling with how best to design the layout. Adrian came up with a number of fresh ideas including an imaginative angular hob area (which helped to separate the cooking and eating areas in the kitchen) and a clever use of tall units to help mask the load-bearing pillars in the room. Adrian was patience personified when it came to the minutiae of the design and the choosing of the various appliances and we are extremely happy with the quality (of the workmanship, the units and the appliances) and the overall look of the end product. In fact we are so pleased that we are seeking Piqu's services for some further work.

Adrian was really responsive and attentive during the design phase and extremely patient whilst we changed our minds over fundamental principles. Following that, he and the team have been brilliant in the delivery and fitting and even after-sales care has been great. We are really happy with the end result, both from a design and usability perspective.

Adrian and his team were absolutely brilliant. We had a basic schematic idea of what we wanted in our kitchen and dining room and Adrian helped us turn our ideas into an amazingly practical and beautiful set of rooms, helping us choose materials and finishes and sourcing the appliances we wanted.. His workers were easy to get on with, very skilled with a really good eye for detail and always cleaned up after themselves each day. Best of all, the eight week project came in on time and on budget. Thanks

I can not recommend Piqu highly enough! From the very beginning they went the extra mile, their inspirational ideas, the professionalism, and the support during the whole process could not have gone any better. This was a challenging design and the just got it, understood exactly what we were trying to achieve and delivered above and beyond expectations! They made a difficult time smoother and I am so happy with the results, it’s breathtaking! Thank you especially to Adrian and Louis for their never ending patience and support.

If you are looking for an extremely professional team to take care of your every need for your Kitchen Project then Piqu is the company for you!! Right from the absolute start of planning Adrian was so knowledgeable and helpful. He was able to take our initial ideas and add so much more that we hadn’t even thought of. As soon as the plans were finalised his communication with us was faultless keeping us updated of delivery times. Due to the complexity of our build we had a couple of delays, this was no trouble to Adrian and his team. He was able to rearrange delivery and instillation ensuring that we still had a working kitchen for Christmas celebrations. Tim the project manager was amazing! Again nothing was too much trouble, so polite, so helpful and kept in contact at all times. I would not hesitate in recommending Piqu to anyone that is looking for a kitchen that has the WOW factor.

It has been a real pleasure to work with Adrian and indeed the whole team at Piqu. From the very start when we stumbled across Adrian’s showroom at Micron Home Improvements when researching glazing for our sliding doors, we knew we were in good hands. Having tried several different independent kitchen designers before meeting Adrian, we were getting a bit fed up and beginning to think it was impossible to get a kitchen layout in the space we were creating that would actually work! The kitchen has now been installed for a couple of months and not only does it look absolutely stunning and is everything we could have wished for and more – it really works from a design point of view and is brilliant for us to spend time in as a family and when we are entertaining. There is nothing that we would change and that is a testament to Adrian’s great skill as a designer and immense patience when dealing with my numerous questions and long emails! His attention to detail certainly matched my own and nothing was overlooked nor too much trouble throughout the whole process (from his initial visit before the builders had even started to his last visit – supervising the installation of our beautiful painted glass splashback) – Adrian and indeed Tim were always attentive to our needs and really cared about the end result. During the process he was always available for advice and suggestions (and even helped with other aspects of the build such the lighting). Would wholeheartedly recommend if you are looking for an extremely high quality kitchen with a bespoke service at a really reasonable price. Thanks Piqu for delivering our dream kitchen and for the wonderful first rate service – we absolutely love it!

Our entire kitchen project was a one of knocking down walls, installing RSJ's, implementing soundproofing and a bunch of other stuff we'd not exactly signed up for at the start. When it came to choosing the actual kitchen (the fun bit) our decision making had been worn quite low. Luckily Adrian at Piqu was amazing and patient at guiding us through the whole process. From kickstarting things at his showroom where he spent the afternoon taking us through all the fittings and finishes, through to helping us find the right appliances and genuinely sourcing the most cost effective solution where we needed it. He’s such a nice guy and it’s actually quite amazing that he managed to see the whole thing through as everything our side took about 5 times longer that it was meant too. But he did and stayed committed right to the very end liaising with our builder on the phone to discuss the fitting. Now that it’s all in, the kitchen itself is exactly what we wanted. A beautiful bespoke German kitchen - very simple but also feels like a work of art. It’s been worth the wait and it’s great to know that we’re going to have this now for years and years. Very happy customers.

Our experience with Piqu, Adrian and Steve, was first rate. Despite providing a top bespoke service there was none of the sales pressure or arrogance that we experienced with other similar services. We took our time making our decision, for a number of reasons, and the relaxed approach from Adrian really made the difference. They also provided a much higher quality product with a number of additional benefits and a bespoke service at a really reasonable price. We looked at a number of high street stores and the price differential was minimal with a noticeable upgrade in quality. Adrian and Steve were attentive to our needs without trying to push a particular product or outcome. They were also able to help us source a great stone for our worktops at a really reasonable price. The fitting was smooth and Adrian has been on call ever since able to answer any questions for us. The whole experience has been first rate we would really recommend Piqu

We could not have been happier with the quality of kitchen installed and the service provided from Adrian Graves and Piqu kitchens. From start to end Adrian has worked with such enthusiasm and skill to design and provide us with exactly what we wanted. At the beginning, Adrian worked really hard designing a space and a kitchen which would work for us. During the process he was always available for advice and suggestions. He even helped with other aspects of our build when we needed advice. The installation process was excellent. And the result .... we have a wonderful kitchen which has been brilliantly designed. We are delighted with every aspect of the kitchen. Throughout the process Adrian has shown immense patience with our hopeless indecision, he is extremely funny but of course of greater importance he is a very skilled and dedicated professional. Thank you, we are delighted!
