Very happy with our blinds

Very happy with our blinds. Expertly fitted and look great. The only downside of ordering them during COVID was a slight delay in delivery but other than that very happy with the product and couldn’t recommend them enough.

From start to finish we couldn’t be happier with Colin and Marcins service at Universal Shutters. Colin is the ultimate shutter expert and no question went unanswered, he showed us all the options available and helped us visualise how they would look. Marcin the ‘magician’ measured and installed them perfectly, he explained certain things, asked our opinion where needed and the finished result exceeded our expectations. We are totally over the moon with our shutters and would recommend Universal Shutters to anyone considering shutters. Thanks again guys!

Really delighted both with the product and the company service, we recently had our first shutters supplied and fitted - we have since ordered more. Our sales man was clear and helpful and the fitter that came was very considerate and did an outstanding job. We will recommend whenever possible

Excellent refit of old shutters after new windows installed

Absolutely amazing service and workmanship. Firstly Colin and Marcin viewed the existing 10 year old shutters before the new windows were installed. With their advice and expertise, we discussed different options to save them, even though the new windows were a different style to the old window frames. They genuinely wanted to save the shutters and save me money. So much appreciated.
At really short notice Colin and Marcin arrived a few hours after the new windows were installed and worked to nearly 10pm to ensure the old shutters were in place. I was so impressed and delighted that I did not need to replace the shutters on every window, I decided to upgrade my lounge bay shutters and ordered some super new shutters to perfectly match the new bay window layout. I am a very happy customer!

Thank you for your amazing review Louise. Shutters are timeless and if we can save existing, we try hard to do so :-)

Marcin and the rest of the install team are amazing aren't they - we think they're great too!

Exceptional Service

Highly recommend Universal Shutters!
I was in two minds with what window covering to go for for my sons newly decorated room but with their expert advice and knowledge of the products and styles available it made the choice and process so much easier.
They kept me updated throughout the process and the team were friendly, polite and very helpful. I’m delighted with the finished product and will definitely be using them again in the future.

Great service and really nice company to deal with

What a great service! Everything from the initial meeting to the fitting has been dealt with professionalism and they really know what they are doing and what would look good! When they came to measure up I was given a lot more information than other companies had and now the shutters are in they look fabulous and have really made a difference and finished off our home beautifully!

Fantastic Shutters.

Absolutely first class job done. No mess and the finish is so clean and perfect you’d think it had been built in from when the house was built.
Just beautiful.

Excellent Company

What can I say that hasn't already been said in previous reviews. Colin was fantastic, he was patient while we made up our minds, when he came round to measure and there was no pressure from him at all.
We were so surprised when he gave us the price, we ordered more shutters for another window!
The day the shutters were fitted went extremely well. They were on time and did a brilliant job.
We were so impressed with the service we got and absolutely love the shutters. We have had so many compliments on them. Customer service 100%

Hi Lesley, we are really thrilled you love your shutters!

Thank you for your lovely feedback; it's great to hear you were impressed with our service. The team tries really hard to get everything spot on...from the products we sell, to the price we ask, to the meticulous attention to detail on installation day...they're over the moon to hear what you think.

The service from universal shutters has…

The service from universal shutters has been amazing from start to finish.
From booking the appointment with Colin, to the final fitting it has been seamless.
The customer service is impressive, Universal Shutters obviously believe in both their product and their passion for attention to detail. I have dealt with the other bigger companies in the past, that are pushy, and not particularly educated about their product.
I found it refreshing not to be pushed in to a sale with Colin, and his knowledge of his product and the various options and layouts was unrivalled.
The carpenter on the day of fitting was clean, attentive and again obviously had a passion for what he did, and our home was left spotless.
We also liked the added little touches that make this company stand out from competition, and really make the whole experience special.
Finally all I can say about our new shutters is wow!
I urge everyone to speak to Colin at Universal Shutters, you will not be disappointed.
