Worth visiting the showroom

Visited the showroom in Hull and had a great experience from the start. Andy was really helpful and knowledgeable, taking the time to walk us through the different options without any pressure.

We decided to go with a glass canopy and we’re really glad we did – the quality is excellent and it’s completely transformed our outdoor space. The whole process felt smooth and professional, from the initial visit through to installation.

Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a high-quality canopy or awning.

Spent near on 26k on a Renson awning with these guys, it was fitted poorly and took them a few months to rectify, I ran into money issues whilst they were sorting it and it took me 3 months to sort the final down payment and they were able to check in weekly for payment updates, but no weekly contact since the awning has been broken and unusable since January 2024, it’s now November and it’s been 3 weeks since I last got an update which I have to chase for, 11 months I’ve been extremely patient but now I will be leaving reviews and warning others.

Dear Neil,

Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. We sincerely apologise for the frustrations you've experienced, especially regarding the ongoing issues with the canopy.

I would like to clarify that, as a business, we were extremely patient in waiting for the final payment, which took 8 months to be completed due to the financial difficulties you encountered. During this time, we remained committed to resolving the issues with your canopy, and we were in regular communication to ensure the situation was handled appropriately.

We understand that the canopy has not been functioning as expected, and while we acknowledge the delays, I would like to highlight that the delays were due to supplier issues, which were unfortunately beyond our control. That said, I’m pleased that the issue has now been fully resolved.

We sincerely appreciate your patience throughout this process and are happy that the matter has been concluded.

Really disappointed

So just over two years ago we bought a Weinor remote controlled Awning from Shade Zone. We went for the remote control one and frankly we should have stuck with a manual wind out one.
We’d previously had two wind out budget ( by budget I mean hundreds of pounds rather than the thousands we spent) awnings at our old house and had no issues apart from the fabric fading which I replaced a couple of times.
So just within the two year warranty ( t & c buried in the small print) the awning stopped intermittently during use and having sent a video to Shade Zone they said that they knew what the issue was and as I was just inside the warranty they would order the part from Weinor and this would be free of charge but there would be a fitting charge of £360.00. I queried this of course because what is a warranty for? I was told their fitters were self employed and didn't work for them so they had no control over their charging.
The fitter came yesterday and replaced a receiving unit in the awning. He was on site for less than 30 minutes.
I queried this again and this was subsequently reduced to £240.00 which I’ve just done a transfer for.
So my advice is buy a manually operated one probably the cheapest you can buy and ensure the retailer actually employs the fitters and don't use a third party for the installation.

I’m thoroughly disappointed with the warranty and I shall be following up this review with one for Weinor.

Hello Dave,

Thanks for your feedback.

As stated in our conversations we are very sorry that an electrical component within the awning failed and was happy to arrange a free replacement of the part for you. From the outset, I did explain that there would be installation charges which I did manage to gain a further discount for you following the installation.

Shade Zone has from the first point of contact always been forthcoming regarding all costs that still applied excluding the warranty such as the installation and the shipping of parts including import taxes etc.

The level of customer service provided by myself was of a high standard as with all clients and I am disappointed that you feel we deserve a 2* rating.

I hope that you will consider this review further concerning Shade Zone directly and the services provided by us.

Thanks

Shade zone (in particular Joe), provided an excellent service with regards to providing I Velarium 120 sunshade.
Their service from start to finish was excellent, there was no problems with changes in the design, they delivered on time, install was not fuse, and the end product was very good quality. I’m very happy with the product and was the client.

Outstanding service

I dealt with Andy from S-Zone who, from my first contact with him, has been incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, professional and trustworthy. We bought the all singing all dancing Renson and have been blown away by the quality.
The installation team were excellent and did an amazing job. I got in touch with 5 suppliers and found S-Zone to be the most responsive and helpful - I highly recommend Andy and his team.

Awning over south facing patio.

Andy made the home visit straightforward and informative. Loads of choice and ideas and no pressure to buy. The fitters came as planned - the work done neatly and thoughtfully - a lovely job.
