Great service. Responded very quickly to request for quote for full length vertical blinds for patio doors. Surveyor was very helpful and knowledgably.

Excellent service
They were very good. They fitted a skylight window, a solar-operated blind, and a bedroom roller blind. Very efficient. I would definitely rate them higher than the ratings.Verified reviewerJob location: BH2210 Awnings / Canopies

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: BH8
