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

Had shutters and blinds fitted recently. I am extremely pleased with all of my dealings with Barlow Blinds from beginning to end and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. The shutters in particular look fantastic and fitter Paul went the extra mile to ensure I was 110% happy with the job!

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for bring this to my attention. I'm really sorry that you feel that the £55 charge is shameful for blinds that are outside of the 2 year guarantee. The charge is simply to cover of fitters time and includes 1 hour on site and any repairs that are carried out in our factory and a return visit should it be needed. My apologies if this was not made clear during your call and I've called a meeting with the office staff to confirm our after sales policy . Once the guarantee has expired we do not walk away, unlike some other Companies Thank you again for bringing this to my attention. Phil Coleman Managing Director

Having never heard or dealt with Barlow blinds before I was a little hesitant to use somebody for my project whom I found on the internet. From my initial enquiry, where I chatted with the receptionist, to the surveyor who came out and measured for the blinds and finally, the installers who attended and professionally fitted the blinds. The whole experience from start to finish has been nothing but exceptional. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the service I received. I’ve been working to a dead line which I shared with the receptionist - the company went out of their way to make sure the products were installed in the timeframe specified. The product is fantastic and they are one of the best companies I have dealt with in a long while. I would like to pass on my thanks and gratitude to all the staff. I will certainly be spreading the Barlow name to my colleagues in the industry. Many thanks for a job well done.

I had three replacement window/patio door vertical blinds including the tracks. While there was a slight fault with one on the blinds it was identified by the fitter and replaced with no fuss. Everyone I came into contact with from visiting the showroom to the guys fitting the blinds was extremely helpful and courteous. I am really pleased with the blinds which I felt were good value for money. I would have no hesitation in using Barlow Blinds again and have recommended them to members of my family.

My awning just needed the fabric replacing. It's quite hard to find a company that will do this, as most want to sell you a completely new package, but Barlows were happy to take it on. They turned up on time for the initial appt and quote. We agreed on a price and they came and took the awning to their workshop. It's operated by an electric motor and they serviced the motor and replaced the fabric. They even installed a small junction box on the outside wall. When they returned with the awning there was a small error and they took it back to their workshop immediately and rectified it. I wasn't able to be at home when they wanted to return it because my husband was in hospital so they offered to keep the awning until it was convenient for me. At all times the staff were knowledgeable, efficient, friendly, polite and punctual. Nothing was too much trouble. My awning is now in place and working well and I would recommend Barlows to anyone.

Had Venetian blinds fitted to several windows. Service was great from the first contact in the shop through to fitting.

We contacted Barlow Blinds and one other supplier to get a quotation for vertical blinds in eight windows. We chose Barlow Blinds based on both their price (that was significantly cheaper), and also the professional approach taken by their representative, Steve. He used shoe covers to protect our carpets whilst measuring up, and took time with us to look through the various samples he provided. We visited their showroom to make a final decision on which blinds to have, and place the order. The blinds were fitted 2 weeks later. I can't remember the fitters name, but he also wore shoe covers and did an excellent job (in less than 90 minutes). We are very pleased with both the blinds we chose and the fitting.

Phil and his team advised us about the options that were available when we decided to install an awning. The awning was fitted on the agreed date by a friendly installation team who made sure that we knew have to operate the controls, how to set the wind and sun parameters and tidied up after the job was completed. Based on this experience we have since ordered four blinds.

We've used Barlow blinds in the past and didn't hesitate when we decorated and decided to have blinds in that room. We would recommend visiting the shop where they have a wide selection of products on view, also the staff are very knowledgeable about their products without pressuring for a sale. Our appointment was made for measuring later for fitting. All staff kept to time were polite and professional. We are very satisfied with the result and would highly recommend the company.

We decided to replace our outside awning with an electric model. Contacted Barlow Blinds with which we have had good service in the past and were satisfied to find they were suppliers. Visited the shop and was able to select a suitable example and deposit paid. Arranged a date for erection. The job was completed satisfactorily with the minimum of disruption and although we have not yet had cause to use it, it appears to be exactly what we required. The installers were prompt in arriving, obliging and helpful and to date the project has proved to be entirely successful. We have used Barlow Blinds for a number of years and always found their work satisfactory.

Barlow Blinds supplied vertical blinds for our lounge and study, and Luxaflex motorised blinds for three bedrooms. The entire experience with Barlow was excellent from start to finish. We had planned to visit three suppliers, but after spending almost three hours in Barlow's, we didn't go anywhere else. Their range, expertise and invaluable advice was just what we wanted to choose blinds for some huge windows in a factory conversion. The onsite survey gave us even more confidence, where we were given even more advice and some very thoughtful options to make sure everything would be exactly what we wanted. On installation day we discovered that we had been given some great extras that we hadn't asked for or were expecting. Mark and Steve were great, doing a super-professional job and asking us how we wanted things throughout. This is an extraordinary business, I'm delighted we found them.
