Temple Blake Limited

In a nutshell: Fantastic personalised process that we would whole heartedly recommend. We have employed Joy to design and deliver not only one but three kitchens for us over the years, each time listening to our needs, always flexible and provided a great deal of technical expertise. For our last kitchen, an Italian high gloss Rossana kitchen, she incorporated all of our (long) wish list for a functional cooking space within a timeless design for a family of four, and with potential for big parties and extended family gatherings. I repeat, we would whole heartedly recommend her skills.

Every time we move we give Joy a call. Our last kitchen was an Italian Rossana kitchen with a real WOW factor, its a great entertaining space for our large family, the furniture is of excellent quality and is a great space to cook in. Joy is always there to answer any questions, has a keen eye for detail, we would recommend her services to anyone looking for a personalised attentive service, we look forward to moving and working with Joy again.

We have employed the services of Temple Blake Limited on a number of occasions. Firstly, was an extension to create a large family room, Joy came up with creative solutions on how to best utilise the space, which included a beautiful large picture window which really made the most of the garden views. Joy designed the kitchen, which she imported from an Italian company Febal. The kitchen was ergonomic and the finish was excellent. The second project was a bathroom and bedroom refurbishment. The bathroom was a tight space but Joy managed to deliver a bathroom which fulfilled all of our requirements. The bedroom was a relaxing sophisticated space with beautiful sumptuous fabrics, with a bespoke quilted velvet bedspread which still came in on budget. Joy is our go to designer, she is currently working on another bathroom refurbishment and designing the girls' bedroom and playroom. She is always at the end of the phone for advice, is extremely honest and professional. Employing her as a designer works out very cost effectively, she takes care of everything which, as a busy working mum, is invaluable. I would highly recommend her services.

Joy sat with us both and went through how we would use the kitchen and what we wanted to do with the space. She also assessed the current stuff I had in the kitchen to ensure that we had enough storage space with the new design. I cannot fault Joy, she had a vision for our space and has transformed it. We love the new space and are looking forward to warmer weather when we can open up our bi fold doors! Although living in Manchester, I doubt whether we will have them open much.

My existing kitchen as it stood did not provide a good working environment and also good usage of appliances and where they were originally situated. In order to achieve the desired effect of a contemporary modern kitchen it was obvious that certain changes had to be made. Temple Blake completely re-designed the kitchen by blocking off an existing hall doorway and introducing two french doors from my lounge. The kitchen is finished and is absolutely stunning, all kitchen units and appliances fitted to a high standard with the design incorporating a waste management system, The whole lay-out of the kitchen and the introduction of two french doors leading into the lounge has transformed my living and kitchen area into a totally different property.
