About
We've been making and fitting blinds in Leicester since 1887. We're a fifth-generation family business, run by the Coleman family since 1927, and still believe in one simple principle: finding the right blinds for our customers.
We manufacture roller, vertical and cellular blinds here in Leicester, and supply and fit shutters, motorised blinds and awnings too.
Our approach is straightforward: honest advice, clear prices and no pressure selling. We'll explain the benefits and limitations of different options, recommend a cheaper solution when it makes sense, and say so if something isn't suitable.
From measuring to fitting, you'll deal with our experienced local team, including our own employed installers. We don't pay sales commissions and offer our best price from the start.
We're proud to have been a Which? Trusted Trader since 2017. Nearly 140 years on, our family values remain the same: good workmanship, personal service and doing what's right for the customer.

What a fantastic Company!!!! Had 19 motorised blinds fitted in my new build house, from start to finish (even with delays caused by my builders) Barlow blinds were brilliant. Designing and order process was made so easy. Updates on production and installation dates regularly given by the super efficient office team. Install and hub set up carried out by professionals who took pride in their work. Price was very competitive compared to other quotes I had. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for new blinds.

I used this company for the first time to service and fit a new fabric to my very old and tired looking wind out garden awning. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Very prompt, helpful and friendly service, Came out to show me samples and offer friendly and helpful advice. They then removed and refitted to a very high standard - it look good as new! A 5 star service. Thank you.

Had my Kitchen/diner shutter fitted today. Looks stunning. Paul was very professional & left no mess. Not the cheapest but the fact they brought the shutter van meant I got to see all the different styles available and gave me the confidence that this was the right company for us to use. Can’t recommend enough. Thank you Barlows

Despite the buildings outer appearance we received first class service from viewing in the tiny showroom, brochures and home visits to fitting. We are so pleased with all three products. We had a garden awning fitted, double blinds and shutters. All arrived in the stated time frame as made to measure, and expertly fitted. Nothing was too much trouble, advice given to help choose appropriate colours and materials. We are both so pleased thank you to all involved including office staff when I needed to ring regarding a query. Highly recommend them.

My experience with Barlow blinds was great from the first enquiry, easy to make an appointment and didn't have to wait long for the visit and quote. No attempts to up or oversell anything I didn't need. I didn't have to wait long wither for the blinds to made (in the UK) or for the fitters to come out. Paul and Matt came to fit two sets of blinds for me, and were polite, friendly, helpful and very efficient. I'm really pleased with the finished product and workmanship and would highly recommend.

We have just had a very large awning with light bar fitted. Three men arrived and took four hours to fit it. They were very professional and totally competent. There was a slight hiccup which was immediately rectified. At all stages we were kept informed and the fitters were extremely pleasant. I would certainly recommend this company.

Superb service from outset to completion. The first port of call was to the receptionist and she was marvelous and let me know when they would be coming. Steve attended after we had received a picture recognition letter for security. He provided an acceptable quotation. We had another call to give the date a fitter would attend. Paul M called in advance on the day, he was very kind, helpful and thoughtful and would definitely use them again.

Just had my blinds fitted with Barlow Blinds, Paul was amazing. Good work ethics, arrived on time, polite, helpful, respectful around my home, and a perfectionist made a few tweaks just to make sure it looked great and worked well.

Great installation but poor after service when out of warranty

Whilst the blinds purchased was expensive but of good quality and installation done within a day, just over 3 months out of warranty we had a string break in one blind. On calling Barlow Blinds we were told it's out of warranty and will incur a call out charge of £55 which may not fix the issue. Further I was told it will need to go to the factory for a re-fit which will cost extra. I left my details for a call back to confirm charges. No call back since and I managed to fix the issue myself for just over £3 for some string. It's love to recommend the company but it's is shameful to take advantage of a customer when the fix is so simple and cheap.
