Excellent service from the initial consultation to the final fitting. Ellie worked hard to ensure that I was informed and reassured every step of the process. I cannot rate this company highly enough. The shutters look really good and I am happy with the results.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service, extremely informative giving good advice and information right from the start. Felt as if they were fully with me all the way through my project windows! And then finally the fitting, again could not fault in any way, hard working, neat and tidy finish and quality products. So pleased with my new plantation blinds, they are very well made I'm sure you can get cheaper ones out there but you get what you pay for and these are super duper! I can recommend Madeforshade unreservedly.

High Quality Shutters from Made for Shade

I am thrilled to bits with my new shutters, they look absolutely beautiful and I am impressed with the high quality. Mike and Ellie were a very professional and friendly team from my first consultation to the instalation yesterday. They even put the furniture back after they had finished fitting the shutters which was much appreciated. I would definitely use them again without hesitation and recommend them to friends and family. Thank you so much!

Fantastic family business

It was a pleasure to have our shutters fitted today. They were installed without a hitch due to the accurate measurements taken previously.
They quality of the shutters is extremely high end and with Ellie’s knowledge and experience we were able to get exactly what we needed.
They look amazing and we would not hesitate in recommending ‘Made for Shade’ . This family business is professional, experienced and very customer focussed. Nothing is too much trouble .

Made for shades

From start to finish with Ellie coming out and measuring there was no pressure sales and she explained everything with the best options for us. On the day of fitting both Ellie and Mike worked well together and have done a lovely job and cleaned all the mess up and took away the cardboard. Really pleased with the shutters would recommend this company.

Look no further if you need shutters in your home!

Lovely family-run local business. Ellie and Mike are amazing, the shutters that were being installed in our home are of excellent quality and they were neatly installed. We were well-informed from start to finish on timelines, maintenance tips, etc. Ellie was very patient in answering any questions we may have! The shutters turned out to be beautifully made and we couldn't be more happy. Would recommend them to anyone who is looking for quality shutters for their home!

Absolutely fantastic experience from…

Absolutely fantastic experience from the family run team at Made for Shade. Ellie turned up for a consultation with all her sample units and was extremely knowledgeable, turned around the quote the same day, measurements within a week. When it was time for fitting, they turned up as a team and cracked on with the job, extremely friendly and did a fantastic job. Couldn’t flaw their service.
