10 Awnings / Canopies
Posted 20 October
Great service
Initially, there were a few problems because the awning was large and the Installation team had to return several times to reset it. Brian and his team were conscious that it took far longer than it should but made every effort to resolve the issues and I am 100% happy with the result. Brian communicated regularly and the guys were professional, respectful of neighbours and each time left the patio clean and tidy. Would highly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: BH1310 Curtains / Blinds / Shutters

An excellent company - blinds and shutters
We recently had shutters fitted to a large ground-floor window and motorised blinds installed in our kitchen. From start to finish, the company were excellent. Simon and Brian were extremely helpful, taking great care with the measurements and advising us on the best options. The fitting team — Matt, Matt and Harry — were fantastic: professional, respectful, tidy and worked to a very high standard. They were a pleasure to have in our home. We are delighted with the finished result and felt the overall cost was very reasonable. We would highly recommend this company for their excellent service.Verified reviewerJob location: BH1410 Awnings / Canopies

Highly Recommended.
We are very happy with the insulated blinds that Insignia have recently installed in our kitchen which are proving very effective in keeping out the sunlight/extreme heat. The service from Insignia was excellent and efficient from the first phone call to the fitting of the blinds. Thank you for your help.Verified reviewerJob location: BH21
