About

As Leicester’s oldest awning and window blind makers we guarantee the highest quality products, and good old fashioned customer service that is second to none

We are the quintessential family business that has evolved from one man with a motorcycle and sidecar, to a professional and modern multi product window blind and awning manufacturer and installer whilst still retaining the values that have been passed down through the generations

We offer a very personalised local service and are very protective of our reputation, always striving to ensure our clients appreciate both our service and the quality of our products

Established in 1887, by Mr E.A Barlow, the company flourished and in 1927 he felt he had earned a more restful time, deciding to retire and pass the business on to someone else’s capable hands

Those capable hands belonged to Frank Coleman, and the company has been successfully run by the Coleman family ever since

Four roller blinds fitted recently. Impressed with the range of fabrics, speed of fitting (45 minutes) and time waited between ordering and fitting. Overall very impressed.

This is not the first time we have used Barlow Blinds. Their service and professionalism is excellent from the initial consultation right through to the days the blinds were fitted. We have high expectations for work being carried out at home and Barlow Blinds definitely fits this expectation.

Excellent service, the young lady (Anita) I spoke to on the phone explained materials used, Mike, who came to measure up and bring samples, was courteous and again most helpful in my choosing of fabrics and David who came to fit my blind was lovely.

We came across the firm and used them years ago. Excellent quality and service from start to finish. For that reason we had them back again for other rooms. Once again - very impressed. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
