About Hillarys:

Hillarys - For the window wise

We’ve been helping our customers create beautiful homes with our made-to-measure blinds, curtains, shutters and awnings for over 50 years.

Choosing the right window treatments can feel overwhelming, but with Hillarys you don't have to worry. When you buy a window dressing from us you can be sure it’s been lovingly finished to the highest standard by our skilled manufacturing team.

Every new design goes through a rigorous testing process that checks it will meet the demands of the average home. If the fabrics don’t meet our standards, they don’t make it into our range. Only the best performing styles should be in your home. It’s as simple as that!

When you book an in-home appointment, your friendly and knowledgeable local advisor will bring along samples of our full product range for you to have a look at, and they’ll work with you to find the right solution for your space. 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.

It’s true, from the minute you get in touch to the magical moment you stand back and admire the end result, we’re only happy when you are. In fact, everyone at Hillarys cares about your home as much as you do and we really do take pride in getting it just right, which includes tidying up and leaving your home just as we found it too.

So don’t risk getting it wrong at your windows! Leave the measuring and fitting to us, and you’ll be in safe hands.

“Booked an appointment and received numerous texts and emails in the lead up to said appointment reminding me of the time of the appointment. The 3 hour time slot came and went, I had no visit and no communication. I called the main number and spoke with an advisor who said the salesperson was probably running late and he would put me on hold whilst he contacted him. A couple of minutes later he was back on the line saying that he had left a message for the sales person to contact me. That was a week ago and I have heard nothing at all from anyone at this company. A very unprofessional set up, wouldn’t consider dealing with them at all now.”

“My wife and I (Customer 10950852) chose Hillarys Blinds because of their positive reviews, the customer service and warranties advertised on their website and promotional material, and their offering a ‘one-stop’ shop including measuring, manufacturing and installing the blinds. For all of the above, we were prepared to pay more than other providers and ordered six real bamboo blinds for our house. The start was excellent. An advisor came to our house at the arranged time, took some measurements and gave us a quote. We agreed to go with that quote and a second advisor (Riki) came to our house to take more detailed measurements and to set a date for the installation. We paid the balance. And it was here that things went pear shaped. On the agreed date of installation, Riki phoned in the morning to confirm the meeting and my wife and I ensured we were home that day. However, the timeframe for the appointment came and went and nobody showed up. Later that evening, at 18:44 I received a message from Riki simply saying that another job had overrun. It took some time and effort (and several calls to Hillarys customer service) to find another date for the installation, but eventually the advisor came to our house and installed the blinds. They looked nice. However, after about one week, one of the blinds began to jam when we pulled the chord. We thought this should not be a problem given that Hillarys offers a 1-year warranty on their products. So we called Hillarys customer service on 0800 916 1094 to report this. In fairness, customer service agents were helpful. They told us that they will contact an advisor who will contact us within the next 48hours to check out the issue. But 48hrs came and went and we did not hear anything. We phoned and emailed Hillarys customer service again, and we were told the same thing, except this time they were contacting another advisor. The 48hrs came and went, and again silence. We were not contacted by any Hillarys agents. I called Hillarys customer service for the third time and was told to expect to be contacted by one of its advisors by the end of 30/11/2023. 30 November 2023 came and went, and nobody from Hillarys contacted us. This lack of reliable after-sales service is deeply disappointing, especially from a company that prides itself on customer satisfaction. A simple inspection of a faulty blind turned into an ordeal of unmet promises and wasted time. Regrettably, this experience has left us questioning Hillarys Blinds’ commitment to their customers. In the future, we would seek out a company that truly prioritizes and delivers on their promises of excellent service.”

Hi, We are deeply sorry to se of your experience with us, please be assured this is not representative of the high level of service we aim to provide to our customers and we will be discussing this with all involved. It is our belief that an advisor has now visited you and as a result a replacement has been ordered. Becky

“Measured and fitted a blind to our bathroom sash window. When the window is open, maybe 1 inch, blind is sucked into the window cavity. Explained this to the fitter when he fitted a second blind 2 months later. Blind is now damaged as it's been sucked in so many times. Company said I would be charged for a replacement blind as it's just outside 2 year warranty. If it was measured correctly would never have been an issue. (Didn't complain officially before as I thought it was just annoying rather than cause physical damage) Pretty disgusted by Customer service response. Should have replaced blind as a gesture of good will since it was incorrectly measured at the start, was too nice to ask the fitter to replace at the time. Lesson learnt!”

Hi Julie, Unfortunately, the information you been provided with is correct. Regretfully, as your blinds are no longer within the warranty period, we would not accept that they have been mis-measured or offer any replacements free of charge. Becky

“Disgusting lack of service. Ordered shutters in August, fitting was arranged for last Friday. Due to fit between 12 and 3pm. Fitter sent text 2:50pm stating that he was running late and wouldn't be able to fit and would have to reschedule. Spoke to two agents at Hillarys on Friday, neither would put me through to a manager and am still waiting for the rescheduled appointment. Now proceeding with a Section 75 claim as Hillarys have broken their contract as the product and service has not been delivered. Buyer beware!”

“I have purchased several matching blinds from Hillary’s over the past 5 years and been very pleased with them. However, one of my blinds has broken and when I phoned to ask if someone could come out, was told no as they were out of warranty. I said I was quite prepared to pay but was still told ‘no’ they didn’t offer a repair service. For a company as large as Hillary’s, to say I was disappointed is an understatement. I have 7 matching blinds in the same room but having great difficulty finding anyone else to fix this one blind.”

Hi, Service calls outside of the warranty – even at a charge, are not something Hillarys offer. We do however take your feedback on board and apologise for any disappointment which may have been caused. Yasmin

“Awful experience from the start. Blinds definitely not made to measure as they're currently hanging crooked on my window. Blinds on my patio door falling off after only a few months. Holes drilled into my wall without even asking. Currently been waiting for two weeks for them to confirm that someone will come out to do repairs. Having to constantly chase this. As soon as they have your money they don't care. Avoid.”

“Absolutely disgusted with this company! After 9 months of emails back and forth I have just received a letter threatening court action. Ordered shutter blinds for 4 windows, 3 of which I was very happy with and have paid for. However the fourth window was measured 1cm too short and the gap was filled with caulk which looks horrendous. They have offered me trim which I have refused as there is no trim on the other 3 windows, and I don’t see why I should accept this to cover up their fitters mistake when he measured the window. Absolutely at my wits end, the letter threatening court action came through yesterday on my granddaughters first birthday, am so upset. I have already paid them in full for the three windows which were measured and fitted correctly and don’t see why I should have to pay £900 for a window shutter I’m not happy with, but feel like I am being bullied into it.”

Hi Alison, During the installation of our shutters, we may be required to use caulking to complete to fitting. This is highlighted in our key facts sheets that was provided to you at your survey appointment. Becky

“Clearly I am not the only one being done over by this awful company judging from the terrible reviews they are inundated with. These scammers claim I signed a contract with them for a pair of curtains that were costing over £1600. For two curtains! I did not sign any contract with them yet I am wrapped up in legal proceedings fighting a CCJ. Completely dishonest, evil company and I cannot stress enough that this company should be avoided at all costs.”

“Avoid avoid avoid Fitted the wrong type of blind, meant door could not be fully opened. Numerous calls, emails and subsequent visits. Was promised a different type of blind but did not supply what was promised. And, the other blinds that were fitted were really poor workmanship (screws in different places on the bracket) Really expect a higher quality of service from Hillary’s which is why I used them in the first place. Would have had higher quality workmanship from a handyman!”

“Extremely poor and indifferent, disorganised customer service. Couldn't deliver the full order despite much chasing and their insistence I paid in full. Took 8 months before my final blinds came during which they threatened court and legal action to make me pay for the Missing blinds. Eventually they blamed their self employed team of fitters and sent the final blinds. Quality of fit was poor and rushed within five minutes.”

“Blinds ordered beginning July, was to be fitted on the 2nd August, yes you guessed cancelled order not turned up. After another week I had to call them to find out what was going on, was told blinds to be fitted 27th August, sent then an enquiry for them to confirm the 27th which they did by return email, should have smelt a big fat rat as they did not give me the name of the fitter or a time! Yes you guessed again no one turned up, no call, no explanation, wasted day! I will keep you informed how I get on this week, but from what I have read they don’t really give a dam!”
