Curtains, shutters, blinds recommendations

Can anyone recommend a good curtains/shutters/blinds company in the west Kent/southeast London area?

I've just moved to the area and don't know where to begin in my search. I received an advert through the door for Inspired Shutters & Blinds but they didn't inspire me at all, as they didn't return my partner's call, and when I called they didn't really seem interested in discussing with me coming to my home for a free consultation, which was the point of the advert.

  • For shutters I can recommend Shutterly Fabulous if you need a fully fitted service or their sister company California Shutters if you are handy with DIY.

    I agree - have used California Shutters a few times. Their customer service ppl are very helpful.

    Bromley Blinds- we used them (we are in Chislehurst) and they provided excellent service.

    Decided on shutters. I went to John Lewis for ideas and they supply S:Craft shutters which looked pretty good, and booked an estimate. Someone from S:Craft came to my home and measured up but the quote was a lot more than I anticipated.

    Then I found a local business called Vine House Interiors who also supply S:Craft, and they were about 20% cheaper than John Lewis, so I went with them.

    I'm thrilled with the quality of service and product from Vine House Interiors and would highly recommend them.
  • For blinds at least we've had very good value ones in the past from the Blinds2Go / Blinds 247 websites.

    Considering their shutters too - for our two large sash windows they come out c.£350 each. Ordered sample louvre sections and they look pretty much like any other faux-wood shutter to me.

    DIY fitting obv.
