    Sun Awning

    Posted 26 October

    Insignia supplied and fitted our sun awning. It is of excellent quality and the installation is really neat. Simon was most informative about the product and measuring up. Brian and his team made a really good job of installation, working cleanly and efficiently. I would recommend Insignia.

    Venetian Blind Installation

    Posted 15 October

    The team from Insignia arrived at the agreed time and installed 7 x 50mm wooden venetian, 1 x 50mm fauxwood venetian, 1 pf metal venetian and 1 free hanging metal venetian. The sales rep helped with the selection and made recommendations as to the choice of blinds for the various windows, including a small bay window. Cost of the blinds was very competitive. The Insignia team were professional, friendly, efficient causing minimal disruption and tidied up as they moved around. The blinds look really smart and I recommend them.

    Posted 14 October

    What a great company. From the sales process to installation professional polite arrived on time and did a great job . The boss even came out on a Saturday before installation to double check everything . It’s rare to meet such a customer service company who are still competitive . I would recommend this company to anyone and product 1 st class.

    Care taken in both the supply and fitting of the product.

    Posted 05 October

    I have no hesitation in highly recommending Insignia shade & shutter company for their excellent service in particular the fitting process was carried out to the highest standards. I purchased 3 large shutters for my house and when installed, Brian and Matt arrived to carry out the work. They were meticulous in fitting the frame work and then the shutters to the recess walls ensuring that the finish was excellent. Brian took time to explain the best way to operate the shutters ensuring longevity for the product. Great job.
