Job location: BH24Wonderful company from start to finish. Precise measuring done and all the blind choices. Measurements then double checked later until the installation today of various blinds for different rooms. Excellent quality of both the blinds and the workmanship. The gentlemen fitting them were skilled, knowledgeable and very friendly. Cannot find any fault with this company. Will definitely use again for remaining rooms to be fitted out.10 Good quality at an affordable price.

Had 6 windows fitted with shutters, had survey completed and a secondary one after this. Everything was explained to us and wait time. Approximately 10 weeks later shutters fitted. 3 guy’s arrived to fit them and was very friendly and also very tidy and cleaned up after themselves. The guys were very professional and also explained how to care for shutters. Would highly recommend this company and very happy with our new shutters.Verified reviewerJob location: BH1910 I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Absolutely first class experience.

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: BH14
