What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Blinds and Awnings earns consistent praise across its reviews, with customers describing a service that runs smoothly from the first enquiry through to fitting. A number of reviews mention the knowledgeable and friendly shop staff, who explain the range of materials and options clearly, while named fitters such as Callum, James, Kenny and Mark are singled out for efficient, careful work and for going the extra mile to get measurements exactly right. The quality of the finished blinds and awnings is a recurring theme, and various customers describe the installation process as clean and professional, with appointments kept on time and communication maintained before and after the job.

Advice on sizing and product choice is valued, and the practical guidance given during measuring is mentioned more than once. Reviewers also highlight fair pricing and a willingness to tackle awkward windows without fuss, and the demonstration provided after fitting is appreciated. Long-standing customers note that the same standard has been maintained over many years, with one describing a repeat order placed without looking elsewhere. Projects range from single sets of perfect fit blinds to multiple windows and awnings.

Enterting the show the lady was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the awning products. We placed an order, they came on a day very soon afterwards to measure up. This gentleman was very efficient and gave us advice about size etc. The order was placed and we were advised it would be about 6 weeks before it arrived. It arrived within this time and the fitters came and within an hour they had fitted the blind, given us a demostration and answered any questions. We were completly satisfied with the service and would highly recommend the company.

I was very happy with all three sets of blinds that I ordered. There was plenty of choice. The quality of product and fitting was excellent and the staff who work there are very helpful and pleasant. Callum went the extra mile when fitting to be helpful and get it exactly right. Marsha has been a great contact. Very personable and helpful. Many thanks.

From start to finish, our experience with Blinds and Awnings has been exceptional. We recently had a Markilux 6000 with Shadeplus installed, and the transformation to our outdoor space has been incredible. The quality of the product is outstanding, but what truly sets this company apart is their professionalism and attention to detail. The team were punctual, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. They took the time to explain every stage of the installation, ensured everything was perfectly aligned, and left the area spotless. Their workmanship is first‑class — you can tell they take real pride in what they do. In addition to the awning, we also had Venetian blinds fitted in our kitchen and garden room. These were installed with the same level of precision and care, and they look fantastic. The blinds fit perfectly, operate smoothly, and have added a clean, modern finish to both spaces. The Markilux system itself operates beautifully, and the Shadeplus has already made a huge difference on bright days, giving us the perfect balance of shade and comfort. It feels like we’ve added an entirely new room to our home. We’re absolutely delighted with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Blinds and Awnings to anyone looking for premium awnings, quality blinds, and a truly professional service.

1st class service from walking in the shop 👌 👏. Great, friendly advice/help and a fair price. I just wanted the vertical slats with weights, hooks and chain to prep my Mums flat for sale and fit myself as she lives up north. I did have some issues hanging them and the owner did a few WhatsApp video calls to talk me through it and was most helpful equallying a great end result THANK YOU SO MUCH Good old fashioned service and support! You don't get that online!

We are pleased with the service provided by Blinds and Awnings. We have had them provide us with blinds in the past so knew that they would do a good job, and it has been the same on this occasion. We didn't have to look anywhere else.
