Mr & Mrs Bernstein of Edgware, Middlesex -

"Fran and I would like to thank you for the fabulous kitchen, bathroom and shower room that you created for us. It is an excellent job from design to installation.

We very much appreciated the careful attention to detail throughout the planning stage which made the whole job run very smoothly. The installers were excellent who took a lot of pride in the job they did.It was a pleasure to have them work in our home and the after care has been very good.

We would be happy to recommend and show your work to prospective customers."

Dr Follin of Chislehurst, Kent -

"At last the kitchen is finished - the final touch was venetian blind that took a while to come.

In case the pics are too big for one email I attach three here and three with next email. We are having a 'kitchen warming' in a couple of weeks to show it all off to various friends!  

Thanks for all you have done - it is a super kitchen and we are so pleased with it.

With best wishes,

Frances"

We are both very pleased with our new kitchen. Do please pass on our thanks to Sam for the way he went about his work in fitting the kitchen.

Yours sincerely,

Regards to Keith.

Thanks for all your help.

Mr & Mrs Shein of Prestwich, Manchester -

"David,

I would like to thank you very much for the excellent work done on the kitchen of our flat recently.

It is entirely transformed into a very pleasant, modern and compact unit within the flat in a pleasure to work in. I would like in particular to thank you and Kieth for the imaginative and thoughtful planning and the two tradesman for their competence and tidiness in the whole operation.

A truly professional job well done and leaving Pearl with no reason for missing out on the gastronomical meals.

With best wishes to all concerned.

Yours,
Ian Shine"

Marc & Magaly Charlier Of Finchley, North London -

"Marshal Blake installed our kitchen over 4 years and we only had positive feedback on the quality of their craftsmanship, overall service and value for money.  

How great it was then to speak to the same very helpful and diligent Keith 4 years later when we decided to do further enhancements. He retrieved our file in no time and had the enhancements carried out within a week and to the highest standard.

I am sure that when in 5 years time after moving into our next house we decide to renew the kitchen the same helpful Keith will be on the other line of the phone."

Mr & Mrs Luedicke Of Hampshire -

"We purchased our splendid kitchen from Marshal Blake some 7 years ago and it still looks as good today as the day it was fitted. However, we accidentally burnt one of the worktops with a hot pan 2 weeks ago. One week after phoning Marshal Blake for help their fitters arrived and at a very reasonable cost; not only did they replace all of the worktop surfaces but my sink and taps as well. At the same time they checked and adjusted all of my cupboards at no extra cost.

We are so pleased that we purchased from Marshal Blake who at one week's notice sent fitters all the way from Manchester to the South of England to ensure their customers are still looked after and satisfied with their kitchen after all those years.

Please give our special thanks to Ugis and his mate who were absolutely professional in all respects.

Kieth and David, thank you so much. It is truly refreshing that Company's such as yours still exist.

Kind regards and best wishes.

Jill and Richard Luedicke"

Mrs McGill, Inverkeilor, Angus -

"Just want to say that the new drawer/ doors that you arranged to be made for me to match my existing kitchen have arrived and they are lovely.

Knowing that every effort has been put in to try and match a discontinued line is very greatly appreciated.

Thank you to you and your team for making this possible, I will most definitely be recommending your company to friends and acquaintances in the future.

Many thanks again.
Kind Regards,
Pat McGill"

Mr & Mrs Backman of Prestwich, Manchester -

"We just wanted to tell you how delighted we are with our new fitted kitchen, which we have waited a long time for as you know.

It has completely transformed the look of the whole room and given us much more space. It is a pleasure to work in and is so modern and light.

We would also like to say thanks to Ugis who fitted the kitchen - he was both friendly and efficient and did a great job, especially as it was snowing heavily and he and your driver had to carry the units from the bottom of the street as the van would not drive up the street - That is dedication to duty !

We would be only too pleased to recommend you to anyone we know who needs a new kitchen.

Many thanks."

Mr & Mrs Greaves of Friston, East Sussex -

"Please find the attached photographs of our finished kitchen.

We are quite delighted with the end result and would certainly recommend Marshal Blake fitted kitchens.

Every stage of the process was dealt with most efficiently from the planning stage where you patiently drew several versions / options for us to accommodate our requirements to the fitting which was carried out on time and to a very high standard.

Your suggestions and experience were invaluable and resulted in us certainly achieving a far better layout than our own thoughts and ideas would have achieved !

The quality of the materials used certainly appears to be superior to those sold by competitors and achieved exactly the finish we were looking for.

The fitters were excellent. Their work was of the highest standard and they worked extremely hard. They had a far from easy time working round our builders as they finished their work. However, they did so with good humour and dealt with our builders' delays in a logical fashion.

Your deadlines were met to the day - a great Company and a great job !

Thank you once again"

Mr & Mrs Heap of Crossacres, Manchester -

"Please find attached some pictures of the kitchen that you have done for us, we could not be more pleased other than to have an even bigger kitchen then you could have done even more for us. Its brilliant.

As you know we had a small and not really user friendly kitchen, no cupboards to speak of and nowhere to put appliances – a mess really. But now as you can see the difference is so noticeable.

Could we ask you to pass on our thanks to the fitters who did such a good job, they never stopped from the moment they arrived until they left having completely tidied up after themselves each day and were a really friendly pair and very helpful.

Can we also thank you for being so understanding and helpful when after 10 days or so we found that we needed an alternate hinge on one of the cupboards and you quickly sent it with the fitter.

We are more than happy for you to publish any of the pictures on your website and this testimony to your workmanship it is most appreciated by us and by friends and family that have seen it.

Regards
Sandy & Phil Heap.

PS – Please start to think about bathroom design we could become your first customers!!!!!!"

"Dear David,

We just had to write and say a very big thankyou for the beautiful kitchen which you supplied to us. We are totally thrilled with it and also for all the help and advice that you have given us. Could you also pass our thanks to Kieth for all of his help.

We would be more than happy to recommend you to future customers and have already told friends and family of our Complete Satisfaction, although the kitchen speaks for itself.

Once again, thankyou to both you and Kieth and also to Mavis for her part in getting our dream kitchen.

John & Carol Bailey"

Mrs Sperring of Sidcup, Kent - "Thank you for the delivery of the replacement kitchen doors.

They are now fitted and look absolutely fine. I was worried, as you know, that the four year old doors might have changed colour but, they look just the same as the the new ones.

The kitchen looks really good again. I appreciate your help.

Yours sincerely,

J I Sperring"

Mr & Mrs Rivkin of Manchester - "Enclosed is a cheque for £60.00 as promised.

At last my kitchen is finished and I want to thank you - I am delighted with it. You have transformed the room - it is hard to believe it is the same room.

It has been a pleasure dealing with you and I shall certainly recommend you in the future.

Please pass on my thanks to Billy.

Best regards,

Jenny."

Mr Dome of Salford, Manchester - "I feel that I had to write and tell you how delighted I am with the work you did for me.

My kitchen was old fashioned and the cooker did not work at all, but now it has been transformed to a lovely modern designer kitchen, and my lounge/dining room is completely altered by the terrific unit that you made and fitted for it. Everyone who has been to see it has remarked how fantastic it all looks.

I can assure you that if I know anyone who wants to have new units fitted, I would most highly recommend you and if anyone comes to you, and would like to see a sample of your work, I would be glad to show them.

Thanking you once again"

Mr & Mrs Gray, Mitcham, Surrey - " Firstly apologies for the delayed response to this email.... things have been really frantic while trying to organise the finishing touches to the kitchen and also arranging all the the other bits like the flooring, tiling and new windows.

My wife and I are very pleased with the kitchen which was installed W/C 11th June. I have to say that the build quality and the final look of the kitchen has surpassed out expectations. We always knew that the choice of wood, worktop and handles would look good, but the finished results are simply superb !

The finish and the excellent standard of the fit has to be credited to ‘Martin’ our fitter who was absolutely outstanding. He had great attention to detail and was very conscientious about ensuring that the fit was perfect.

I'd also like to comment that: I always feel a bit 'edgy' when builders trades persons etc. are in the house (something to do with having a strange person around) but Martin was an exception to this rule. He has a good nature, great sense of humour and ‘all in all’ was a pleasure to have around.

We would also like to thank you (and your team) for having patience while we decided on the type of flooring to install. Unfortunately this took a while to organise and cost, but the advice and non-pressured approach really helped us make the right decision.

Once again I'd like to express my thanks in arranging our kitchen as we are both very pleased with it."

Mr & Mrs Backhouse, Goole, East Yorkshire -

"Dear all at Marshal Blake,

It was your testimonials page that prompted us to approach you for a quote for a new kitchen in the first place, and we were so impressed with the finished result that we promised to write one of our own. Well, it's been a long time coming but here it is !

It's now coming up to two years (where does the time go?!) since you fitted our new kitchen, and it still looks as good today as it did then. At the time Marshal Blake mainly worked in the Manchester and London areas, so we did the bulk of the planning via e-mail. Kieth came over to do the final survey, we agreed a price (good deal, thank you !) and the new kitchen was in place within a couple of weeks. Fantastic fitting; very well built, quality kitchen – great service overall.

To top it all off, you sent us two (free) replacement doors last year after we unintentionally damaged them. So that was a great Christmas present; thank you all so much!

We are sending some before and after photos - feel free to use them on your website. (Sorry the after ones are so huge; you'd probably need to compress them for web use.)

Very best wishes,
The Backhouse family. Goole, East Yorkshire."

Mr & Mrs Greenberg of Edgeware, Middlesex - "Thanks you so very much for our beautiful new kitchen.

From the planning to the installation, all went so amazingly, efficiently and smoothly.
Thank you for your constant contact throughout, it was very reassuring and your amazing patience when a couple of things did not feel right.

Please pass on our thanks to the designer and surveyor. The quality of the cupboards are so solid, they will last us for years.

The installation carried out by Martin was superb, he’s such a hard working man - something extremely rare these days. Everything was fitted perfectly and expertly.

Thank you.
With great gratitude,

Marion & Murray Greenberg.

P.S.
If you would like us to show our kitchen to a prospective customer, please feel free to call us (but give me time to tidy us a bit as I have so much space to work in now)."

Heartfelt appreciation that is due,
Amazing Service in design and build,
Nothing beats your company so skilled,
Your patience and professionalism all the way through,
Only the best are our wishes with appreciation,
Unsurpassed success may you have without limitation,

Mrs Whigham of Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire - "Further to our telephone conversation last week, I am writing to say how pleased I am with the kitchen.

I found everyone in your company was most helpful throughout the process, from the initial design and technical survey, to your willingness to keep my chosen kitchen in store until I was ready for the installation. Late alterations were willingly incorporated.
The finished product has certainly exceeded my expectations and I would not hesitate to recommend your company should I have the opportunity.

Finally, as discussed, I enclose a copy of the receipt for the new lock which I had to obtain for the garage door after Martin, the kitchen fitter, mislaid my one and only key. I appreciate your gesture in refunding this amount."

Subject: THANK YOU FROM THE LUEDICKE FAMILY


Thank you very much indeed for your very rapid response to our request for a replacement insert for the waste disposal bin which was supplied when we had our new kitchen fitted by Marshall Blake 3 years ago.

We cannot thank you enough for the help you have given us and it is very reassuring to know that we did have our kitchen fitted by a Company who continues to support its customers long after the initial work has been completed.

Thank you again.

Jill and Richard Luedicke

"To the whole team up there in Salford.

Mr Middleton of Pevensey, East Sussex - "I wish to confirm our satisfaction with the kitchen installation you have just completed.

This was my first major purchase from an initial contact from the Internet. Right from the initial introduction, through to the survey and finally the installation, I was pleasantly surprised by the help we received and the standards you achieved. Your fitter Billy was extremely quick and efficient and the dates we were given were kept to with what is today an unusual accuracy.

I would have, and will, have no hesitation in recommending Marshal Blake to others."

M/s Cornelius of South London - "I am writing to thank you for all your help with the installation of my new kitchen.

From the first phone call to completion, Marshal Blake have been professional, courteous and you delivered exactly the kitchen designed for me. I am particularly pleased that you were able to provide custom-made units to fit the confined space which represented great value for money.

I would be grateful if you could pass on my thanks to Ken, your independent surveyor and Gareth, the fitter. Both were incredibly skilled, professional and punctual.

As a result I have a beautiful kitchen. A major transformation for such a small space!

Finally, thank you for making the whole process go so smoothly."

Mr Sykes of Bath, Avon - "Further to our telephone conversation last week, I would like to thank you for the high standards of finish and workmanship to which the new kitchen at the above premises has been installed. Although I took some time in deciding the final details of the kitchen design (in consultation with, or, more like it, being directed by a remote party), it was time well spent and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. I am particularly grateful to the fitter, Bill Clare, who not only demonstrated a wide range of skills (plumbing, electrics, gas fitting and carpentry), but worked long hours in a quiet and unobtrusive way. Throughout I kept offering him beverages and food, which he invariably politely declined, preferring to get on with the job and see to his own refreshment. His final working “day” did not end until 02:30 on Friday morning last.

Based on this experience I shall be glad to recommend your company to anyone who asks. I shall also be happy to act as a reference site should this be of assistance to you."

Mr & Mrs Evans of Lane End, Buckinghamshire - "We want you to know how very pleased we are with our new kitchen.

Thank you very much for all your hard work. We have never seen anyone work with such determination and professionalism.

We had all the family here at the weekend and they were all very impressed......"

Mr & Mrs Rae of Whitney, Oxfordshire - "Please express our thanks to all concerned with our kitchen, especially Sam who did such an excellent job. We are delighted with the finished results and think in future you should use "real kitchens" when you send out promotional photos etc as they look like workable places then not show homes.

We took some digital photographs, sorry they aren't as brilliant as we would have liked, but we had to borrow a camera. It will give you a flavour of what it looks like, Ken Morgan might be quite interested as he saw the original one.!!!

Hope you get the files to open OK.

Many thanks again."

Mr & Mrs Arthurs of Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire - "As you know, we recently had a new kitchen installed by your Company, having been recommended to you by friends.

I would just like to say how pleased my wife and I are with the kitchen and indeed with the whole process, from planning, right through to fitting. Everyone has been most efficient and helpful; giving advice that was much appreciated.

The fact that all the units were delivered on the day fitting commenced meant storage and disruption were kept to a minimum. Sam worked extremely hard and the work was completed on time.

We would certainly have no hesitation in recommending your services."

Miss Rootman of Hitchen, Hertfordshire -

"Fab Kitchen in Hitchin........My first house had everything I could ask for, except a kitchen sink! Every appliance had been stripped away by the vendors, so I had the task of putting it all together, and hopefully adding some value to the property. When I started looking around for a fitted kitchen, I found that many of the high street retailers, such as MFI, Möben and Magnet were put off by my tight schedule and budget. They were trying to sell me compromises and appliances of questionable quality. I knew the layout, look and feel I was going for, but did not want to sacrifice on quality. Ikea started looking like my only option, however the amount of coordination and responsibility on my part was too daunting.

I came across the Marshal Blake website, and was attracted first to its recommendations section, some of which were very complimentary. Gaining confidence from this, I sent through a request for quotation based on a drawing that I had done. I wanted to have integrated appliances, and a kitchen that was modern, useful and a bit of a ‘showpiece’ for my new home.

Marshal Blake made the process of choosing the right range & quality appliances very easy. The team at Marshal Blake took care of the complete process, letting me get on with my own business. Their knowledge of kitchens and no nonsense approach really put me at ease. When it came time for the installation, Billy was fantastic, and the job was completed in exactly the time estimated, a virtual miracle! I would have no hesitation in recommending Marshal Blake for anyone’s kitchen…start to finish."

Mrs Hughes of Melksham, Wiltshire - "I am writing to wish you all a very happy new year and to say how delighted we are to be starting the year with such a beautiful kitchen.

The kitchen is wonderful but it has been totally made by the skill of Billy, the fitter. He is a real credit to the company and we were sorry to see him go. He is the most careful, thorough, pleasant and conscientious person we have ever had the pleasure to meet. He was always most courteous and even brought with him his own kettle, tea and sugar! We really can't praise him enough, so please pass on our thanks to him as I know it can't have been an easy job! At the end of the day to you it is just another job, but to us it is the heart of our home. So thanks to you all, as everyone has been very helpful and friendly answering all those 'silly' questions and worries.

We would unreservedly recommend Marshal Blake Kitchens and wish the company continued success in the future"

Mr & Mrs Hill of Durrington, Wiltshire - "I am writing to express my heartfelt thanks to you all for the splendid kitchen you have produced and installed for us at our home.

The service you provided all the way through was second to none. From the initial contact and first draft plan, to your Surveyor, who went through every minute detail of the kitchen and made several very useful suggestions to ensure that everything matched up height and size wise and is pleasing to the eye as well as being practical.

A special mention is, I feel, in order for Sam your installation technician. He worked very hard and put in such hard work to make everything exactly right and overcome the minor problems encountered, even delaying his own holiday to install our kitchen for us. I shall have no hesitation in recommending your company to my friends and colleagues.

Well done".

Mrs Cohen of Bury, Lancashire - "Thank you and the 'boys' for completing my kitchen. It isn't very often in these days, that business people keep to their word, especially when they have been paid, but you certainly have.

I am very impressed with your honesty and service and would have no hesitation in recommending you".

Mr Carter of Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire- "I am writing to thank you for your assistance following my phone call. I rang last Tuesday concerning 4 of the doors/drawers in my kitchen. Following your installation 5 and a half years ago everything has been fine until recently. The above mentioned door fronts have become browned, and the white covering has shrunk. This has been caused by heat leaking from a poorly cooker.

Even though the kitchen is out of it's 5-year guarantee you kindly offered to let me have replacements without charge. You promised that they would be here by the next Monday -they had already arrived by the Thursday! The cooker hinges have been replaced and I now have a show kitchen again.

Your firm deserve to be commended for the speed, efficiency and generosity with which the matter has been handled. Too much is heard about cowboy companies and fitters, but my experiences have been anything but painful".

Miss Rourke of Hampstead, London - "Thank you for sending the guarantee for my new kitchen.

I can't tell you how really pleased I am with all the new cabinets and work surfaces, and for the very quick and efficient work done by Sam, who completed the whole lot in two and a half days with the minimum of mess and disruption.

I'm sorry if I sound over-fulsome, or like someone in a TV advert., but I can't speak too highly of your firm, especially as one hears awful stories about the problems some people have with their new fitted kitchens.

Anyway, once more, thanks again, and may I wish you all a very happy and peaceful New Year".

I have to admit, I tried and failed to find fault with Marshal Blake. Every request I made was answered by someone in an extremely professional and efficient manner and nothing was too much bother. Seeing another kitchen you had installed was very impressive together with the visit of your surveyor and how he went through the room with a fine toothcomb. Sam the fitter, well what can I say. He was the tops! His attitude, his unbelievable professionalism, and his sense of humour! What a guy. It was a pleasure to have Sam in our home. He worked non-stop, nothing was too much trouble, he communicated exactly what was happening when and why. His workmanship was second to none.

We are the very proud owners of a beautiful sleek kitchen. Everything works well and I am chuffed to bits with it. The whole layout of the kitchen works so well, I can hardly believe it and it is so easy to keep clean. Tiles, curtains and the like can wait, I am enjoying the room as it is.

Yes, we are pleased not only with the kitchen, but the people behind it all - thank you to every one of you".
