Colin & Universal Shutters have held onto nearly £2,000 of our savings through multiple delays and missed installation dates. There is absolutely no way they didn't see this coming until today and y... See more

We gave Colin a rave review last year and would like help to find the last shutter he was holding/storing for us whilst our builder rectified the frame. Has anyone any idea of where Universal Shu... See more

Process was really easy. Colin came to house with a good sample of products, no pressure selling just measured up and gave a fair quote. There was some time between ordering and fitting but that was e... See more

Easy process from start to finish

Easy process from start to finish. Measuring took a while, but I was confident it was going to be spot on. Long wait for delivery approx 18 weeks, but we was not in any rush as we were having a kitchen fitted prior to the fitting. Fitter arrived nice and early, worked tidily and cleared up after himself. showed us how they worked with the openings after fitting, and he left spare slats and screws. really impressed with the whole service and emails to and fro to keep me in the loop. great experience and shutters look lovely. really happy customer :-) only thing is - left us with 3 rubbish bags of packaging that hubby now has to take to the tip! but can't complain as we are going there anyway :-)

Highly recommend best service

Would highly recommend Universal Shutters. Great choice in all range, competitive charges, great client service and excellent clean installation. Am super impressed with the installation guy. If the lag time to build and ship can be reduced, then I'll be overwhelmed

Fantastic service from start to finish

Fantastic service from start to finish. The team were incredibly communicative and polite. The price for the shutters was very reasonable. I am really pleased with the shutters - they finish off the windows / exterior of the house. Highly recommend Universal Shutters.

***** Overall, very happy *****

I had a few quotes come in for new Shutters on a 4 bedroom semi detached house in Sidcup, Universal shutters was good on price for similar quality products as the others, Whilst it took a while to get them installed from the initial order placing date, it was similar to other suppliers dates also, it must be the industry. The installer was fantastic, clean and on time. overall I am completely satisfied with the service and would recommend.

Happy with Universal Shutters so far

Happy with Universal Shutters so far.
Jason helped us make the right selection.
Justina organized the fitting two months ahead of the promised timeline and Jamie fitted it in around an hour. The staff at Universal have been very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Thank you.

Love my shutters

Love my shutters! We have been wanting some for a while and finally took the plunge earlier this year. They have just been installed and whilst the handles were missing they promptly rearranged with no issues. Good communication throughout.
Our windows are awkward bay windows and so we had to adjust the initial design but at all stages this was clearly communicated as were delivery estimates and updates. The new shutters have brightened up the room and cut down outside sound. The real benefit for us though is the fact that the dogs are no longer disturbed by people walking by outside the house and reacting! We can now vary how we open the shutters and let light in whereas the blinds before were permanently closed.
The downside (always has to be one) is that we now want shutters in most other rooms and will have to save and wait to next year lol
I am already recommending to friends.

I would highly recommend this company

I would highly recommend this company. The surveyor Peter was brilliant - really thorough in his explanations about each type of shutter style and had examples to show me. I was convinced to have the more expensive style as I could see the difference. The company kept me up to date with delivery and fitting times. The wait was rather long but this is the same with all the shutter companies as I did shop around.

Highly recommended

Highly recommended - much shorter wait times than some other companies we got quotes from, for a similar price. Very professional, kept me updated at all times, and the shutters look fantastic!
