Professional Company!
From the minute we picked up our telephone and contacted Madeforshade we received first class service. Jane was very helpful as I asked her to tell me about their Company as we had not heard of them before. We found their details in a free brochure of local businesses pushed through our letter box. Jane was very professional and Ellie who came to our home to measure up for the vertical blinds was just as professional and friendly giving us guidance on the product we were interested in. She spent quite a bit of time with us helping with the various material choices we had to pick from. The response with a quotation was very quick and from the moment we ordered we were kept in constant contact with regards to the arrival of the vertical blinds to booking in Mike for the fitting date. Mike was a great guy, his workmanship was professional and he was so particular about cleaning up after the fitting had taken place. We cannot praise this Company enough and as a result my mother and father placed an order with them for vertical blinds for their entire home. Who were just a pleased as ourselves with the service provided. We will definitely recommend Madeforshade and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

5 Star Shutters!
From the enquiry email to completion of the installation Madeforshade offer a 5 Star Service! Great communication, Mike & Ellie are both friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We had the shutters fitted just over 6 months ago and to say we are pleased with them is an understatement! No issues, great quality! Top Work all round!

Beautiful shutters.
Just like to thank Mike and Ellie for the beautiful blinds they fitted today. Mike was very courteous and professional throughout the whole process. A personal touch from a locally run family business that sets them apart from other shutter firms. Will definately use these guys again.

Made for Shade provide an absolutely excellent service
Made for Shade has looked after all our requirements for blinds for some time now and Mike has always been a delight to do business with and has always provided an excellent service. Mike has always given great advice on which blinds work best in specific circumstances which has been invaluable to us as a company. The work is carried out to the highest standard and we have been absolutely delighted with the results of all Made for Shade's blind installations. A big welcome to Ellie who, along with Mike, is overseeing our current project in a newly refurbished office. I would recommend Made for Shade to anyone and I have indeed used Made for Shade at home too.
