WeWe have had to issue a County Court proceedings notice

We used Appeal Shading to provide shades for every single window in a large house. This was a number of years ago, and we've had no problems with them at all. When we purchased our new house, we did the same there. We extended it to cover every window. It included electric blinds in our lounge. And under a year, one of the blinds started to misbehave. It seems that it is slightly too wide for the window and is touching the wall - it billowed out. Upon contacting customer services, we sent them images, and they demanded a video. Because of its size, we had to send it via a service that provides the link so you can download it. We explain this in the emails. They simply refused to download the video. After a number of exchanges of increasing frustration trying to get them to understand, all they had to do was click on the link. Contacted the salesmen. He has always been excellent with us. After that, when he sent them the video, they reacted. Today they told us, “Bad luck,” even though it is under guarantee. It must have been you that did it, because you must have put something in the way of the blind to cause it to tangle, which we did not do. I'm left with no alternative now, but I've issued a 14-day notice of proceedings in the County Court. I will take this company to County Court. I am that angry with the after-sales service. They are petty and arrogant. I have to say, for completeness, every other blind in the house has worked completely, and we have spent many tens of thousands of pounds with this company. It comes to a simple one-window, one-blind problem. Forget it, they run away. Inform the follow-up of what happens in County Court.

Poor customer service

I filled out the online form for a quote and chose the 3 dates available within the week. I received an email saying someone would get in touch however, 3 days later no one called to confirm.
I spoke to someone in the team who said they are busy and gave me a date 3 weeks away.
I only booked as the review and turn around time seemed good. However that is not the case as it seems. Very disappointed with the customer service.

Dear Sonal, thank you for your feedback.
The exceptionally hot weather has led to extremely high levels of demand for our free, no obligation design consultations.
We are booking consultations as quickly as possible but unfortunately in some areas we may not be able to meet the dates originally requested.

New awning fitted, very happy with it

Rachel did the initial survey and quote, Charles and Tom fitted the awning. Cannot fault any of them, so far the quality of the product and installation seems excellent. The back office staff let me down a couple of times with promised callbacks that didn't happen, and it was sometimes impossible to get through to anyone at all, hence 4/5 overall. But the survey and fitters were really helpful, communicative, and tidy. Thank you!

Happy with the installation service and quality of fly screen

We had our fly screen installed by Colin. The installation took the whole day and it was quite a warm day but Colin had no complaint at all. Colin was courteous and helpful and answered our questions on aftercare. We are happy with the installation and would recommend.

Delighted with our awning

The whole process was very professional and thorough. Lynn helped us design the awning that met our needs. The follow up survey suggested minor improvements which we can now see were necessary.

We were updated on our order and expected fitting date.

Matty and Andy who fitted the awning, were great. They arrived on schedule, completed the work with the minimum of disruption to ourselves and our neighbours. They made sure we understood and agreed different aspects of the fitting. They explained the mechanism and ran through tips for getting the best use of the awning.

We would not hesitate to recommend the product and the team to others.

Insect Screen for bifold door

Good quality product, which, when fitted, looks integral to our existing bifold door. Paul C our surveyor and fitter was very friendly and helpful.

Being inundated with phone calls!

It might very well be the case that this is a good company, BUT my gripe with them is the following:
At some point, I interacted with a social media post (possibly Facebook, can't remember) indicating an interest in flyscreens (true) and wanting to download their brochure (possibly true, can't remember as I was just doing research).
I entered my details and - stupidly - my phone number. BIG mistake. I'm now being HOUNDED by emails (easy to ignore) and sales calls (not as easy to ignore), both from bots and real humans.
I do understand the concept of follow-up calls, but this is on another level. I feel like Harry Styles being chased by a crowd of teenage fans. It's too much!! The fact that the Truecaller app is displaying your number as "Blinds Scam" tells me that this is a common practice that's been upsetting many others.
Based on this experience, I'm completely put off by this company and will not entertain ever becoming a customer.
If anyone from Appeal Shading reads this: Please! Stop! Calling! Me! You seriously need to re-evaluate your marketing strategy.

UPDATE 13/7/26 - we have attempted to contact the reviewer so that we can remove their details from future contact. However no response.

Dear Arabella, we are sorry to read that you feel as though you're being hounded. That's certainly not our intention - we were simply contacting you to see if you had received your brochure and if you needed any further information.
Now that you have contacted us we will remove you from any further communication. Please just email us your name and postcode to marketing@appealshading.com and we will do this immediately.
PS. We don't use Bots only friendly Bristolians!
