Our team knows all the tricks of the trade, bringing years of experience and expertise right to your doorstep.

They’ll take care of everything, from precise measuring to flawless installation, for a stress-free and stylish finish.

“Don’t order velux roof blinds From Hillary’s they only last 3 years. The salesman came round today tried to charge me double what I paid for them three years ago. And despite the fact he fits them he could not tell me why mine was broken. Not very good at all. They don’t fit properly anyway. There is a line that lets in the daylight. So what’s the point gettin* black outs if they don’t fit the window. I didn’t bother to complain about it three years ago but I now completely feel ripped off and won’t be ordering from them unless it’s cheaper than I paid three years ago. He was trying to tell me everything is going up in price. Not double though. Incredibly dissappointing.”

“The blinds we received are just what we needed and look extremely good. Issue is one of the blinds was broken on receipt. Was told that the replacement will be around a week, then we got told it is 2 weeks. Phoned customer service and waited over 20 min to get through. Such a pity that their back office support is terrible, whereas their sales person and product is very good.”

“Avoid this company at all costs. Bad service from start to finish. Got measured up for shutters last June, the work only got completed 3 weeks ago. This was due to 2 windows getting measured up incorrectly. Not once did we get an update as to when the final work was going to be completed, we just got a phone call a few days prior to fitting. But when the final bill was ready to be settled we got four phone calls in the space of a week as I had been on nights it went straight on to voicemail. I however rang them and was told that I had a outstanding balance and this needed to be settled ASAP. I told the advisor Gaynor Jennings (the lady that had been leaving me voice messages) that I wanted a breakdown of the bill as it had been that long ago 10 months that I had forgotten what I owed. She sent me a email with the remaining balance, and I replied saying I would settle the bill as soon as I could. She then left me another voice mail informing me that the money owing had been passed on to debt collectors. Absolutely disgusted 6 days from Gaynor Jennings asking me for money to it going to debt Collectors, I have been made to feel like a criminal.”

“I was told hilarys do not do curtains in the length I required but we decided to put curtains a little less from ceiling to make up for the shortfall at the bottom and curtains will touch the floor,but came home to find curtains hung from ceiling and now swinging from the floor,not happy,I have paid 1200.00 pound and am totally disgusted with the outcome. They look ridiculous!!”

“Customer service appalling- they make false promises and lies to get you off the phone and then the next person you speak to tells you something completely different. I have had months of hassle and wasted so much time of the phone to this awful company. Such a regret using them.”

“Blinds sent out with 2 different fittings on pull cords and one pelmet cut short. Replacement requested which took a long time to arrive and fit and this was cut squint and one side. When you call customer services each person tells a different story. This company is shocking and customer service is terrible.”

“We only needed the vertical blinds for 4 windows. When he came to fit he had to use our old clips. Also said he would bring Pull weights. In my opinion deliberate ploy to get a sale as the pull weights are no longer available . We wont use this firm again. WARNING”

“We placed our order last October and under stood the delays etc re covid. Well we have stayed in all day awaiting the fitter with 4 sets of shutters, I rang last week and was informed that the fitter would call in advance and double check on access etc - never happened. the customer liaison team confirmed today was the installation day and was told yes sometime between 11.00 and 15.00 and the fitter would let me know what time to expect him Well here we are at 20.015 and still no show, I did ring at 16.00 and was told definitely today well no phone call apologising and booking another date and time and I feel really let down. I suppose tomorrow will see me ringing customer liaison again and who knows how long it will be awaiting the shutters,”

“The chap who did the work was quick and efficient, however there was some damage to the window frame which we didn’t notice until late the next day. I had new windows at the front of the house fitted in mid February so I know they weren’t damaged in any way. The reason I am only just replying is that we embarked on a 2 week cruise holiday and have just arrived home. Again the chap was efficient and sociable.”

“The guy that came to see us failed to:- Tell me the blinds from outside would not be white Gave me an ill fitting fitting which continued to dent the masonry After I queried this he agreed it was bad (this took many emails) option provided to solve was a horribly outdated looking blind. Finally went with something 50% smaller so still not ideal. When I returned after he fitted the new blind it just about covers the glass of my door, no generous overhang which would look far nicer and provide extra warmth in the winter. I’ve now requested on more than 4 occasions where my 50% discount is that I was promised at the start, where has it been applied. So far they are pointing me to T&C’s that say this doesn’t apply to all blinds and just demanding payment. If estimators are lying for Hillary’s when they come to measure up then someone needs to answer this. I am certainly not going to pay until they tell me where this is. I’ll never order anything with this company again. Terrible service, terrible fittings and people that do not tell the truth. How they stay in business I do not know. Dreadful company to avoid at all costs. My stress levels have been severely raised!!”

“Never again will I order from Hillary blinds. They never deliver when they are suppose to they lie to their customers. They never inform you what’s going on . Bad customer service. And you cannot get your money back or cancel the order”

“We have used Hillary’s in the past and decided to use them again for shutters and blinds. I would definitely not recommend them or use them again. Firstly they incorrectly measured the shutters, fitting them regardless then agreeing they were incorrect. So re-measured and refitted new blinds following a lengthy delay. This resulted in damaged window frames that had been newly painted. Although they have agreed to pay towards the repair of the damage. The huge delay and inconvenience they offered £200 to our troubles towards our £4000 spend. Extremely disappointing and would look elsewhere next time rather than falling for the sale of good customer service.”

“I have just received a response to my complaint from Micheal Garner, London Account Manager. He obviously did not read my complaint as starts by saying, following our previous conversation, I have never spoken with him. He then talks about the manner in which the blinds operate, which was not my complaint at all. I was complaining that my 3 black out blinds were not fitted within the window frames but outside of them on the walls.Therefore the gap is so large either side it lets in so much light it renders them useless. I can't even get them moved as the blinds would need to be smaller...wish I had read some of these reviews before using Hillarys.”

“The installer caused significant damage to the walls where he fitted the blinds, he left a terrible mess behind at the flat and on top instead of taking the refuse from the installation with him he throwed everything away in the communal areas of the building with my name and address on it. Unacceptable lack of professionalism and carelessness. I would not recommend Hillary's service to anyone.”

“After paying for Hilary’s blinds , up front a few months ago they decided to chase me for payment and threatened court proceedings. I have been harassed by constant phone calls , emails and now court proceedings by form of a letter, even though I have paid , their incompetence is unacceptable I have asked to speak to the C E O I asked them if they do this on a regular basis asking for payment even though it’s paid ..an older person may panic and pay again. 4 months ago I paid and now this week they are chasing payment … One complaint about the blinds the pull threads are too short I can’t actually reach them and have to stand on furniture to reach …”
