Instil was recommended to us by a kitchen designer who had seen a new bathroom designed by them when visiting a client. We cannot thank him enough.
Martina immediately set up a meeting to ascertain our requirements for refurbishing the bathrooms and cloakroom. She listened carefully and came up with some ingenious practical and stylish ideas. After deciding to go ahead, she introduced us to an installer (Mike of Carbon Construction) who she knew would do a brilliant job. We received excellent service from both companies and are extremely pleased with the end results.

I have on two occasions requested instil design to design and plan a bathroom and cloakroom within my property. On both occasions the communication, design , quality of materials and standard of workmanship was outstanding. A very personal service and I would have no hesitation to use their services again or highly recommend them to others.

We have a victorian house and found it difficult to find someone willing to take on the challenge of creating a new ensuite and refurb our family bathroom. Martina had no hesitation about taking on the challenge and Dan, a true craftsman in every required discipline, mastered our wonky walls and between them created two fabulous bathrooms for us with quality fittings. Would highly recommend Martina and Dan for the efficient delivery of our project. Thank you both!

This was our first time using InStil Design to commission a project to overhaul both our en-suite and family bathrooms. These two bathrooms were original since we bought the house thirty years ago. Hence we wanted a design that would be in keeping with the house decor, be constructed with materials that would last for another thirty years, be safe for our 2.5 year old boy to use and lastly prove cost effective. Martina's design reflected all our requirements in her plans and we are extremely happy with the results. For the high quality of workmanship and professionalism, I need to thank Hubert
