Friendly and helpful

The friendly staff in the shop were very helpful in assisting with selection of blind material and Steve who put the final choice up was quick, accurate and cheerful and very kindly took down my existing blinds and even bagged up the fittings so I could take them to a charity shop.
Very impressed from start to finish

Excellent Customer Service .. 12/10

We wanted to support local business and SBF came recommended from neighbours. The experience was great from start to finish ... we were especially impressed with the fitter (Steve) who was courteous, very kind and very knowledgeable. The excellent customer service was noticeable ... makes such a difference ... we would use SBF again for sure and would definitely recommend. Thank you all.

Great service as always

Great service as always. I ordered online and it turned out that some materials were not in stock but very easy to choose replacements and still collected everything the next day. Thank you very much.

Great service and product

Very helpful in store, easy to book a home visit to measure up and select what I wanted. Given clear information on how long it would take to make and was installed by a very friendly and helpful member of the team. Very happy with our experience, thank you.

The whole experience of selecting the best fabric for our needs was made so much easier by having staff who are interested in assisting customers to make a good choice/decision. Well done and accept our thanks. Jeanne and Graham.
