10 I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Absolutely first class experience.
Posted 25 February
I can highly recommend the Insignia shade and shutter company. Their service was exemplary from start to finish. We have just had new shutters fitted throughout out home and they look amazing. The fitters were friendly and very professional- their work was absolutely first class and, in my opinion, could not be better. Thanks to Brian, Matt and Matt for your kind attention.Verified reviewerJob location: BH149.67 Blinds installation service

Local Company who are Professional and provide excellent Customer Care. The Sales Staff use Active Listening Skills and enhance the Customer experience. Home Visit quickly arranged for me to choose from samples of Blinds and accurate measurements taken. The Fitters Matt and Harry are experienced Professionals and fitted a Roller Blind in my Kitchen and a Venetian Blind in my Bedroom Window within Minutes. They even cleaned up as they moved around my Home. The service provided by Matt and Harry was top quality. A BIG THANK YOU also to Simon and his colleagues for all their brilliant work.Verified reviewerJob location: BH2110 Professional and does exactly what they say they will.

Brian and his team arrived on time in the morning and worked solidly throughout the day fitting new Plantation Shutter blinds. They dismantled and took away old Venetian Blinds and shutters . My first impression of Insigia blinds exceeds any expectations I had. They are superb. Three very charming professionals who worked very diligently and cleaned up totally after themselves. I had a full and proper handover explaining how to work them and look after them. I have a full guarantee clearly written and explained .Verified reviewerJob location: BH13
