EXCELLENT Based on 27 reviews John McMahon2025-05-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visited my 86 year old Mum last week when her canopy blind wasn't working. Quickly identified the issue. No sales chat or pressure to upgrade to something more modern. Stuart got the blind working quickly and refused to take any payment as he said it was an easy fix. Not even travel or time costs! So rare to find such an honest and reliable business. Would highly recommend. S&B G2025-04-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From measuring to fitting, Penumbra offer an outstanding service. They are professional in every way with excellent staff. It is so rare these days to find a company who aim to please and are capable of delivering a quality product. We are thrilled with our Allusion/Horizon blinds and the attention to detail given to the fitting. We would not hesitate to recommend Penumbra. Brian Smith2024-12-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had 2 sets of blinds made and fitted by Penumbra. 2 pairs of blackout and sheer blinds for a bedroom and 4 blackout cellular blinds for roof windows. All designed and fitted perfectly by Stuart and Toby. Great quality. Peter Bell2024-12-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've had two sets of external blinds installed by Stuart and his team. In both cases the work was undertaken swiftly, efficiently and carefully. We're very happy with both the quality of the product, and of the installation. Athos Louca2024-11-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had several battery operated roller blinds from Stuart and his team over the last 7 years. They have worked perfectly no problems at all. We have always found Stuart to be sufficient efficient and helpful. He does what he says he will when he says he is going. Highly recommended. Andy Glass2024-06-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stuart and the team fitted 8 bespoke blinds in our new build 8 years ago - recently one of them suffered damage from our children's misuse, and I wanted to thank Stuart for the wonderful way he dealt with the repair. The binds are still (8 years later) fantastic - they look great, operate perfectly - very happy we went with Penumbra blinds from the start Veronica Dorset2024-01-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Stuart and Toby for doing such a good job on measuring and fitting the blinds in our house in such a timely manner. Every thing was done to a very high standard. From measuring to fitting in two weeks. We are delighted with the blinds and how they look. Can't recommend the company more highly. Claire Gosling2023-08-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Penumbra blinds, Stuart and his fitters were knowledgeable, polite and courteous. We brought 2 electric blinds which are great. It was good to visit the showroom and see all the products on offer too. Sam Colyer2023-01-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Penumbra Blinds. They were excellent with information at the consultation stage, giving us enough information and advice to make the correct choice. Then when our sliding windows and blinds came, the installation was flawless and even better than we hoped. The finished product is amazing and we had plenty of compliments. As you can tell, we are very happy. Jon Constantine2022-10-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great selection of blinds and awnings.
