Great experience from start to finish

Really happy with our shutters. Pre sales support was great, got loads of information and help with deciding what we wanted. We went with the British maple option and price seemed really competitive for a hard wood option. Installation was quick and tidy and zero issues so far.

Great product and service

Very polite sales service which followed through to installation.. Shutters look amazing and I’ve had some very positive comments from friends only a few days after fitting. Installation completely mess free and on time.

Beware of the small print. Poor quality finish

Extremely disappointed with the quality finish of the plantation shutters I received after 16 weeks.

While the installation team were excellent. Multiple slats across 20 shutters are littered with bubbles and imperfections — clear signs of poor manufacturing.

When I contacted the company, they hid behind a clause buried in the fine print stating defects must be visible on a photo from 3 meters away (nearly 10 feet!) to qualify for replacement.

Basically, unless the flaws are glaring from across the room, they won’t take responsibility - begs to question, if they believed in their product quality, why would they introduce this ridiculous clause to hide behind?

Completely unacceptable for a product that’s supposed to be high-end. Avoid if you care about quality or fair treatment.

Beware

Dear Mark,

Thank you for your message. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and we understand your disappointment.

As part of our process, all customers are made aware of our terms and conditions at the time of order. Following the installation on Monday 23rd June, our fitting team took detailed images of the shutters so that they could be sent to the factory for inspection. We expect to receive a response from the within 48 hours, The slats you refer to with bubbles and imperfections are a small speckle of paint.

In the meantime, we would very much appreciate your patience while we deal with the issue

Thank you for your understanding.
Absolute Installations Team.

Huge thumbs up for Absolute Shutters.

The man who came to measure up was very helpful and knew the product inside out. Excellent updates and communication via emails and personal texts from admin. The fitters were on time, tidy and very pleasant.
Very pleased with our shutters and they are of a very high quality. Curtesy phone call from the office on the day of installation to make sure we were happy.
Highly recommend.

An easy recommend

A number of factors make this an easy recommend. Firstly, the showroom gives you chance to experience the shutters first-hand, and get expert advice. Secondly, the finished product is superbly crafted. And thirdly, the fitting by James and Derek, was wholly professional, polite and respectful: both men are clearly very skilled.

Absolutely the best

Adam arrived at the time stated, he was very professional, fitted the shutters in what seemed like no time and cleaned up after himself no mess at all. I will definitely be using them again. Highly recommend this company.
I have used other companies in the past and these are by far the best.

Do not bother with this company

We went to the ‘Absolute Shutters’ show room to view their products before arranging a visit for them to take the formal measurements. Pete, who was showing us around the show room, did seem overly interested in other quotes we had obtained, which felt like he was gaging his pricing based on these quotes. After we had seen the product range and had been provided with a price, we went home to consider our options. I then called Pete to arrange for him to come and take the measurements. He was keen to know if I would commit to the order there and then when he visited, which I said I would as long as the price didn’t vary to the one he had quoted when we were at the show room. He booked me an appointment for that afternoon at 4:00, I received a text and email confirming the appointment. I moved our belongings out of the way so he could access the window, and stayed in for the appointment. HE DIDN’T SHOW UP! To make matters worse he didn’t even call later or the following day to apologise. This company has a total disrespect for others and their time, so I would definitely not recommend them.

Dear Nicola,

I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused when Pete was unable to attend your appointment. Unfortunately, he had an emergency that afternoon and was unavailable for a few days. I completely understand how frustrating this must have been, and truly regret that we were unable to inform you at the time. If you are still interested, I'd be happy to arrange for a team member to reach out and rebook at a time that suits you. Again, I'm very sorry for the experience you had.
Best regards
Absolute Team.

Knowledge and expertise matter.

I had an idea of what I wanted and how I thought it would look, when they came to measure up and show me samples of the products, I explained my vision. The rep went through the options with the pros and cons of different styles making sure I had considered the disadvantages of my initial ideas…..I hadn’t and took his experienced viewpoint onboard, tweaked my initial order for what I have to admit is a much better option. No difference in the cost or fitting time, just a better more practical end result.

It’s not a quick process, from order to fitting but I have nothing to compare it to and was in no rush.

The team that came out to fit them were on time, polite cleaned up as they went along, very efficient and clearly experienced. Job done in a couple of hours and I am happy with the end results.

Very poor service

Very poor service. The sales process is not transparent. If you get that far. Trying to get a response is hard work. Small business with small business mentality. Glad I took my business elsewhere.

100% recommended.

The initial sales visit outlining all of the options put absolute shutters miles ahead of their competitors who we'd also consulted. The only company we could find that did hardwood shutters. The samples they brought to show us were extensive and so many options to consider - wood, finish, colour, hinges, opening, slat size etc. Nowhere near as much info/choices with competitors. We waited 3.5 months for them to be made and fitted, but they were well worth the wait. Fitters were efficient and professional and we were able to choose how the trim was used to fit to our window. All communication friendly and helpful - we also asked for new handles on the window (which we also had choices). These are not cheap shutters but you pay for what you get. 100% happy - they look fabulous.

Great team effort.

Quality shutters installed by expert fitter.
I was kept informed of the status of the shutter design, build and installation at regular intervals.
Adam the fitter turned up on time and did a great job, including a follow up visit to align one of the shutters.
Post the fit the Absolute Shutter team contacted me to make sure everything was OK and that I was happy with the Shutters and the installation work.
Overall a great team effort.
