Local Blinds & Shutters required

Hi all, apologies if this topic has already been covered.
I had a visit and quote from Hillary’s this afternoon, much more expensive than I’d budgeted for. However, they wouldn’t be able to install until mid October.
I understand bespoke isn’t going to be instant or cheap, but just wondering if anyone could kindly recommend an alternate local company or fitter.
I’m looking for standard white mdf shutters and black out blinds.

Thanks so much in advance. This forum is great!

Hi @Emak5 and welcome to the forum.

Our topic for blinds recommendations is here (although lacking responses so far): Window Blinds and Curtains

Hopefully you’ll get some shutter company recommendations here too.

We used The Shutter Studio for our shutters. Very pleased. Unless you can buy off the shelf though they are all made in China so take time. I booked in a few other shutter companies for quotes and it allowed me to then negotiate on final price. Hope that helps.

Very kind of you, thanks!

We used Shearwater Shutters a few years ago and would highly recommend them - they’re local (I think), much cheaper than bigger companies and the service and quality was great (no issues 3yrs on). I wouldn’t normally link to the other site, but there are plenty of reviews there too which might be worth a look https://www.se23.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10024

I also used sheerwater shutters and I can only recommend them, one if the best consultations I ever had and a local company

London Interior Shutters did a very good speedy job.

We also used sheerwater - cheaper and better. We also recently installed some roman blinds over shutters which are cheaper and we love them l!

This is much appreciated everyone, thank you.

Just wanted to post another recommendation for David and his business Shearwater shutters. He is a real perfectionist and gave great service and we are very pleased with the shutters. A local company who were a pleasure to deal with and reasonably priced too.

This has reminded me that I also meant to post a note about David and shearwater. We had shutters fitted by them last year and are really happy with them. Excellent service, reasonable prices, so pleased we went with them.
