I had a great experience with Cambridge Blinds. Cameron fitted an electric blind in my bedroom and a shutter in my en suite, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Cameron was professional, friendly, and clearly knew what he was doing. The installation was done efficiently, with a lot of attention to detail, and everything was left clean and tidy afterwards. Both the electric blind and the shutter look fantastic and work perfectly. The quality is excellent and has really improved the look and feel of both rooms. I’d happily recommend Cambridge Blinds, especially Cameron, for anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality service.

Cameron was professional and kept me informed throughout the process. Turned up on time and did an outstanding job fitting the flyscreens. I can highly recommend the product (Centor) and his service.

We have ordered a substantial size awning from Cameron. Entire process was smooth and very professional. Installation was a breeze (thanks to the fantastic team) and we could not be happier with the overall service. Thoroughly recommend it.

Fantastic service from Cameron who has the experience and expertise to order the part needed to repair a broken blind mechanism. The part had to be ordered from another country and he kept us updated every step of the way. He personally came to the house to carry out the blind repair and was done in a flash! We highly recommend Cameron and Cambridge Blinds.

Well, where to start…. I had recently completed a major and long-term restoration/renovation at my house. This included many relatively new technologies and smart systems throughout. Among these were numerous and varied automatic curtains and blinds, operated in three ways; In the case of the curtains, by physical touch (a gentle pull in one direction or the other, thereafter completed by the automation). Remote control. Voice operation. There were also blinds of one sort or another throughout the property, including one blackout blind in a bedroom and two very large, heavy specialist acoustic curtains in a small cinema room. Unfortunately, for reasons unnecessary to go into here, the installation was less than perfect and problems had been present from the start. We couldn’t get all of the units to speak to the same hub, one unit would operate whilst triggering another elsewhere in the house, handsets that should’ve been present were missing, one unit was completely non-operational et cetera et cetera. This issue had been ongoing for many months over the course of the renovation and was indeed one of the last problems to be resolved. Several people other than the original installer, all of whom had opinions which were at least worth listening to, had looked into it and while some ground was made, there were still many problems... Enter Cameron. My intelligent systems technician found our noble protagonist on the Internet and things immediately got better. On his first visit, he was able to immediately identify one of the core problems which had eluded everybody, including the original installer. Motors in some of the units were mismatched to the control units and hub, therefore stumbling the connection and communication process and further more hindering setting up parameters, such as at what points curtains and blinds should stop, et cetera. Furthermore, he was able to flag up that two handsets were missing and two others were not really appropriate for the job I was also able to ascertain, with his accumulated wisdom, that a second hub I had been erroneously advised to purchase by another individual, was surplus to requirements and in actual fact making things worse by creating a conflict of communication… As an added bonus to that particular cock-up, he was even able to advise me where best I might manage to sell said item, in the hopes of recouping most of my unnecessarily spent pounds. In short, I was well and truly up the creek with this whole system, facing weeks, if not months, of painstakingly slow research and discovery by both myself, my electrician, my intelligent systems technician, et cetera et cetera, to work out what Cameron breezed through and nailed in about an hour and a half in total, over the course of two visits. On top of that, my mother immediately warmed to him and was hugging him and giggling cheekily almost immediately. 🙄 Do I need to say any more people? I cannot begin to describe how much I wish I had come across Cameron at the beginning of my job, all those many months ago now. Not only would it have made my life so much easier regarding that element of my own renovation, I am by profession a property developer at a small scale and could’ve used his services on several of my projects in the past. I’ve spent most of my life, both as a child and adult, around the building profession in one way or another, through my father’s endeavours and latterly my own. I know a straight shooter when I meet one and I know high quality workmanship, knowledge and application to task when I see it. I’m very glad to have added him to my list of tradespeople and if you have any requirements that his skills could address, I would very strongly suggest you do the same! Don’t be like me people. Get him in at the beginning of the job and do it right from the start, rather than getting him in at the end to fix everyone else’s cock ups!

A really first class job fitting an outside blind system to keep the heat out of the house in the summer. It was fitted in one morning and works perfectly, many thanks Cameron and crew.

Made-to-Measure Awnings – Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of a patio awning depends on the size, fabric choice, controls, and installation requirements. As a general guide, a high-quality made-to-measure awning is a significant investment designed to provide many years of reliable use. During your free survey, we'll discuss your requirements and provide a clear, transparent quotation with no obligation.
In most cases, planning permission is not required for awnings installed on residential properties. However, there can be exceptions, particularly for listed buildings, conservation areas, or commercial premises. If you're unsure, we'll be happy to discuss your situation during the survey and advise accordingly.
Our awnings are designed to provide shade and can withstand light rain when extended correctly. However, they should not be left open during strong winds, heavy rain, or severe weather conditions. Many of our motorised awnings can be fitted with wind sensors that automatically retract the awning when conditions change.
Most installations are completed within a single day. Lead times vary depending on the season and product chosen, but we recommend contacting us as early as possible, particularly during spring and summer when demand is highest. During your survey, we'll provide an estimated installation timeframe for your project.

We stand behind the quality of our products and workmanship. If you experience any issues after installation, simply contact our team and we'll assess the situation and provide the appropriate support. Our goal is to ensure you continue enjoying your awning for many years after installation.
