Roller Blinds
Our roller blinds combine minimalist design with practical functionality, offering precise light control and modern aesthetics. Available in various colours and materials, these made-to-measure blinds suit both contemporary and traditional interiors. The streamlined mechanism ensures smooth operation while maintaining a clean, uncluttered appearance that complements any room decor.
Shutters
Custom-made shutters provide excellent insulation and light management with enduring style. Our plantation shutters feature adjustable louvres for precise ventilation control while adding architectural interest to windows of all sizes. Durable hardwood construction ensures long-term value and enhances property aesthetics.
Wooden Blinds
Crafted from sustainably sourced hardwood, these blinds bring natural warmth and texture to interiors. The slatted design allows flexible light adjustment while maintaining privacy. Available in multiple finishes, they offer timeless elegance suitable for both residential and commercial spaces seeking organic sophistication.
Blackout Blinds
Engineered for complete light exclusion, these blinds create optimal sleeping conditions in bedrooms or media rooms. The specialist fabric blocks external light while providing thermal insulation benefits. Ideal for urban environments where window darkness is required at any hour.

Report
Shocking customer service. My mother who is 88 has been waiting for over 6 weeks now to have 2 blinds fitted on her living room windows. Fitter first arrived with 1 blind, another date was arranged for 7th September to fit both blinds no one showed up, next date arranged 15th September again another no show. Finally a fitter arrived today but guess what with only one blind. Fitter has now said he will be back tomorrow with the other blind. My mother is very upset and I am fuming at the way she has been treated. We will wait and see what tomorrow brings!!

Absolutely disgusted. First fitting appointment was cancelled will less than 24 hours notice. Was told a new fitting date which didn't really suit. No options offered. Got a rude email advising someone need to be here from 3pm til 8pm. Here I am at 20.01 and no contact from anyone. Called the office twice and left a
message for an update but no one bother to call back. I've just spent 5 hours in my car waiting as the home is not yet furnished. I'm fuming. Dont know what possessed me to use this company. Should have stuck with the Blind Guy who is
excellent. Let's see what tomorrow brings with

Paid a deposit for blinds two months ago, and never received them. I have continually contacted Shades to discuss with no response, and they are not accepting calls due to coronavirus. I would give them zero stars if I could.

Excellent service. Everything was done as I was told. Appointments were kept exactly as arranged and all staff I dealt with were polite and courteous. Very pleased with my blinds and the service Shades Blinds provided. Would highly recommend. Good job well done.
