    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.

    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.

    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.

    Excellent quality, expertly fitted, extremely happy!

    Wonderful 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.
