10 Blind Supply & Fit
Posted 2 days ago
Good work!
Having used Insignia several times in the past we had no doubts that the service and advice we would get would be up to the usual good standard. From the initial chat at the shop, the visit to our home and the final fitting of the blinds, it was a pleasure to do business with the company. The fitters were punctual, clean and tidy. They explained and demonstrated how to operate the blinds and made the suggestion to have the operating chain on the opposite side to the one we had chosen. This proved to be beneficial and easier to use. We certainly recommend this company.Verified reviewerJob location: BH810 Blind Supply & Fit

1st Class Service (again)
A pleasure to deal with Insignia, from the initial contact, through the measuring and quotation visit to the fitting of blinds at our patio doors. As for the fitting, so efficient and quick. I don't think it took them more than 10 minutes! All the team were polite and left no mess. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.Verified reviewerJob location: BH1710 Blind Supply & Fit

Excellent service
Two young men came to install our bathroom shutters. They were professional , friendly and very tidy.Their workmanship was first class and they took great care to leave everything clean and spotless. The shutters look fantastic and have transformed the bathroom . We would highly recommend them to anyone considering shutters.Verified reviewerJob location: BH410 Awnings / Canopies

Great company, professional & efficient.
Have just had our second awning fitted by Insignia as we were so pleased with the first one we had fitted three years ago. Good quality product, efficient & skilled workmen & the office staff are very pleasant to deal with. Slight hiccup, but all sorted very amicably. Have recommended Insignia to many of our friends.Verified reviewerJob location: SP69.67 Blind Supplier

An excellent job done
Our replacement blind was bought from Insignia and fitted efficiently. We're very pleased with their work: they came promptly at 9:30am and I asked them how long they would be - they said "15 minutes" and were gone earlier than this with the job well done.Verified reviewerJob location: BH1410 Blind Fitter
