    You can’t do better!!

    Posted 1 day ago

    I have now used Insignia on two separate occasions and have been delighted with both the products and service I received. Nothing is too much trouble for Brian English and his team and I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

    Excellent from start to finish!, Well Done Insignia Team

    Posted 07 August

    What can I say other than excellent from start to finish, your attention to detail is impeccable! Even vacuumed the terrace! So “Thank you guys”, whole job from my first telephone call to the ladies in the office from the beginning to the end was explained with time scales and the price for our massive awning was very reasonable and a great quality. We’re really pleased with the whole experience! If anyone else wants to give Insignia a try, its absolutely worth it!

    Hired to fit 2 awnings.

    Posted 15 July

    They were on time and they were only here for 2 and half hours. They have put 2 awnings up for me and they worked very well the whole time, even though it was hot. They cleaned up after themselves and i could not fault the experience. Would very much recommend.
