About the company

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Brighton Sunblinds has earned a loyal following among customers who come back for blinds, shutters and awnings over many years. Several reviewers describe repeat business spanning a decade or more, with one household ordering electric Roman blinds, then roller blinds cut to size, and later perfect-fit blinds for bedrooms and a lounge. The range of work covers wooden Venetian blinds, plantation shutters, Roman and roller blinds, dual-purpose blackout blinds with flyscreens, and patio awnings, all supplied and fitted.

A point that comes up often is the quality of the finished result, with customers noting that older installations remain in good condition years later and that wooden slats keep rooms cooler than previous aluminium and fabric options. Fitters are named directly, particularly Mike, whose suggestions on hanging and alignment are welcomed, and Russell, praised for patience with an unusually shaped bay window project.

Reviewers often mention prompt, efficient service, fair and competitive pricing, helpful advice on curtains, and clear communication from first enquiry through to installation, including patience with numerous questions. Tidiness during fitting and aftercare also feature, along with friendly, responsive customer care that treats small and large projects alike. Work has covered homes, offices and rental properties around Brighton, with a Blue Light discount mentioned as an added benefit.

Brighton Sunblinds did an excellent job. Our sunblind broke and needed a pin replacement — they replied within minutes and provide us with the replacement part free of charge. The team was professional and responsive, and their showroom is worth a visit before you order. Highly recommended

Spent a lot of money with this company on bespoke blinds (was going to order online originally at a fraction of the cost). They took ages to make them, communication poor. The fitters that came were friendly and did a good job. Since then the blinds have malfunctioned. The first time they sent someone out they thought they were removing the blinds rather than fixing them. Not a problem, they saw to the problem in hand but they hadn't been told what the problem was which suggested there was a lack of communication within the company as well. Since then there one of the blinds has broken - I have emailed but have not heard anything for over 2 weeks. We decided to use a local company rather than ordering online and thought that paying extra (over £1500) to have bespoke blinds would provide a better service with some aftercare, especially if things break (which has happened). The management team, brother and sister I believe, have been pretty useless and have left us with a feeling that once the job was done and they had their money that we are now an annoyance, despite saying that they would come out and fix any issues. The quality of the blinds is very good, but I believe they outsource this part of the process, the mechanism of the roller seems to not so good.

I had a fantastic experience with Brighton Sunblinds. The team was incredibly helpful from start to finish, very efficient, and the quality of their work is excellent. Their customer care really stands out — friendly, responsive, and genuinely committed to making sure everything is perfect. I’m very happy with the result and would highly recommend them!

We’re absolutely delighted with our new patio awning! From our first enquiry to the final installation, the whole team was fantastic - helpful, patient, and happy to answer all our (many!) questions. The awning itself is excellent quality, and it’s clear they really know their products. It's completely transformed our garden and living area and will make both so much more comfortable during the summer months. We’d happily recommend this company to anyone.

We have used Brighton Sunblinds many times spanning over 12 years. We are never disappointed with the results, always super impressed with Mike and his fitting skills and professionalism. We have had many different products including Plantation Shutters, Roller Blinds, Roman Blinds and this time dual purpose blackout blinds/flyscreens all of which have been absolutely fantastic. We would highly recommend Jon and his team. Fabulous

Great service again from the Brighton Sunblind team. Have used previously and was very happy and they didn’t disappoint. Good communication, great price and they offer a Blue Light discount. My shutters look amazing and really finish my room off. Highly recommend
