Another amazing experience with Made for Shade! Our shutters look incredible and the service from Mike, Ellie, and Jane was first class from start to finish. They care so much about the products they are supplying - the fitting is first class and they are also lovely people. We would highly recommend them!

All I can say is wow

All I can say is wow! After moving into our first home with bifolds we were over the moon, but we knew something was missing, blinds on the bifolds! We had perfect fit blinds, such good quality and even requested a specific RAL number to match our bifold frames. We wouldn’t be without these now, they really set the room off! You guys are amazing, thank you so much.

New blind!

The blind looks fantastic and has brightened the room up. It's saved us all from the bright glare we were suffering every afternoon!

5 🌟 service and excellent product!

Excellent service from the initial phone call to the fitting of the shutters. Friendly, polite and 100% reliable. I'm over the moon and would say by far the best value for money compared to other companies. The overall finish is stunning and I would recommend unreservedly - thank you!

Great service - again!

We have just had 4 shutters fitted and they look absolutely amazing. To be fair, we are not surprised because this is the second time that we have used Made For Shade. As always, the service was excellent from start to finish and exceeded our expectations. Friendly and efficient service with a great finish. What more could you ask for!

Fitted shutters are a dream come true.

Fitted shutters are a dream come true.
So glad that I found Made For Shade. I had shutters at the front and rear of the house and the kitchen. I also had a Roman Blind to the side of the house and after fitting have now ordered another blind for my daughter’s bedroom.
Excellent service from start to finish, fitting by Mike and his daughter Ellie was too perfection.
It was a dream come true for me, after wanting shutters for many years Made For Shade made it possible.
I can highly recommend for all your shutters and blinds.

We have had the 2 bay windows fitted with shutters as well as blinds in two other bedrooms. Not only have they transformed the house, but the workmanship and professionalism exhibited by both Ellie and Mike was second to none. Great to deal with a family business -it often makes a real difference as it did in this case and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering having these fitted. Our daughter has already booked them in.

Excellent product & service

I ordered shutters for 2 rooms in my house from Made for Shade and the whole service from quotation to installation was excellent. Ellie & her dad were friendly, professional and their attention to detail was great. The finished product looks so neat & tidy and has transformed the rooms. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Fantastic service and beautiful end product

We’ve been so impressed with the team at Made for Shade. I did a lot of research beforehand and a friend really recommended Made for Shade. The service was excellent, super professional and efficient from the very first call. Ellie explained all of the options and gave us some welcome guidance & ideas. I am so happy with the end result. I wouldn’t
think twice about recommended them to anyone
