With so many companies available, choosing someone to install your new blinds, shutters or awnings can feel like an overwhelming task. As a proud member of the British Blind and Shutter Association (BBSA), we understand that you want to make the best choice for your home. The BBSA stands as the UK’s only trade association for companies specialising in window treatments, and there’s a good reason why this should matter to you as a homeowner.
Before we get to the specific benefits of working with a BBSA member, let’s talk about what you should look for in any blind or shutter provider. First, ensure they have a portfolio of their previous work. Ask about their previous experience with your specific type of window treatment. Most importantly, make sure they’re willing to discuss safety features and provide detailed quotes upfront.
To take it to the next level, choose to work with a BBSA member like us:
Uncompromising commitment to child safety
Safety isn’t just a buzzword for us – it’s at the heart of everything we do. As BBSA members, we’re at the forefront of the Make It Safe campaign. Since 2009 this initiative has transformed the industry’s approach to child safety. Every blind we install comes with appropriate safety devices, and we take the time to explain how to use them properly. We regularly update our safety protocols based on the latest BBSA guidance, ensuring your home remains safe for everyone.
Continuous professional development
Would you want a doctor who hasn’t updated their medical knowledge since qualifying? Of course not – and we feel the same way about our industry. BBSA membership requires us to undergo regular training in health and safety, product knowledge, and business practices. We’re always learning about the latest innovations, and we have access to exclusive training resources that keep us at the top of our game.
Strict code of practice
When you’re letting someone into your home, you want to know that they’ll treat it with respect. The BBSA’s Code of Practice is our promise to you. This code covers everything from initial consultation to after-sales advice, ensuring you receive consistent and professional service at every step. We adhere to strict standards in measuring, fitting, and customer service.
Industry-leading expertise
Through our BBSA membership, we have direct access to the latest industry developments. We can advise you on the most current solutions for your windows – whether you’re looking for improved energy efficiency, smart home integration, or the latest design trends.
Peace of mind through mediation
While we pride ourselves on excellent service, we understand that sometimes concerns may arise. As a BBSA member, we can offer you an additional layer of security through their free mediation service. This independent service ensures that in the unlikely event of a dispute, you have a fair and professional route to resolution.
Comprehensive insurance coverage
Home improvements shouldn’t come with worries. Our BBSA membership requires us to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage appropriate for our business size and activities. We’re also VAT registered, giving you complete transparency on our pricing and business practices.
Annual quality checks
Just because we’ve achieved BBSA membership, this doesn’t mean we can get complacent. We must prove ourselves worthy every year through a rigorous re-accreditation process. Annual reviews ensure we consistently maintain the high standards you deserve.
What does this mean for your project?
When you choose a BBSA member like us, you’re getting more than just someone who can hang a blind. You’re partnering with professionals who understand the technical aspects of window treatments, prioritise safety, and commit to ongoing education in their field.
