Thomas Sanderson Opiniões 

Very disappointing experience overall. We ordered a garage door and whilst the sales person was enthusiastic the rest of the experience was poor. There was a delay in getting a survey done. Fitters were derogatory about the knowledge and ability of the designers, which should have been a red flag. The end result and finish is very poor. I was told that I would have to fill the holes in the brickwork with some silicone myself, although they did do this in the end, reluctantly. The overall finish is tatty. When I contacted customer service, there was zero interest in trying to do anything at all to improve the situation - just repeated the same statement that there was nothing to be done. I had planned to have blinds throughout the house but would never use Thomas Sanderson, or Hillarys (who they are now part of) ever. Distinct lack of care from anyone involved.

We ordered 4 blinds for our new house accepting that they would take 12 weeks to arrive
Twice our installation appointment was cancelled. And when the fitter did arrive 1 of the blinds was smashed and the other was warped
He advised that new ones would be ordered.
4 weeks later customer service state they cannot confirm that our replacement blinds have been ordered as they await paperwork from our installer to raise our order.
This is disgraceful service. We wish we had never ordered our new shutters from Sanderson. Hunter Douglas you may be a huge company, but I think you have given up caring about your customers. I recommend you never buy from them.

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience has been so frustrating that I feel obligated to warn others.

I purchased motorised blinds with the clear expectation – based on the sales pitch – that they would be sleek, functional, and discreet. What I got was a poorly designed product that overheats, drains battery quickly, and now requires the motor and battery to be relocated visibly just to work properly. This completely ruins the aesthetic and functionality I was promised.

When I raised these issues, the customer service team responded with cookie-cutter options that I had already rejected multiple times. They clearly don’t read emails properly and fail to acknowledge valid concerns, including the scratches and damage caused during their attempted “fix.”

Their idea of a solution? Either move the motor to an unsightly and impractical position, or downgrade to manual blinds – something I never agreed to buy in the first place.

No accountability. No proper resolution. No customer care.

I’ve now had to consider legal action just to get a refund for a product that never worked as advertised.

If you value your time, money, and sanity – avoid this company.

I have had Sanderson blinds on several occasions over the last twenty years or so but unfortunately standards have declined significantly since the takeover by Hillarys. In my case, a few months ago I had a number of blinds fitted but last week one dropped off its fixing (which never happened before the takeover). I rang Customer Services to arrange a repair and spoke to a very helpful person who said that I would be contacted in three or four days. Now in the eighth day … nothing. No attempt to contact me at all. Presumably they will contact me eventually but goodness knows when, and that is just to make an appointment for a repair. It may be that Hillarys have left the team under-resourced or it may just be that they don’t take customer service as seriously as Sandersons did. Either way, there has been a significant deterioration in service since Sandersons was an independent company.

Purchased 38 window and roof blinds in 2018. Four of the window blinds now have the cords cutting through the plastic at the base of the blind because of the failure of plastic cord guides. Telephoned Sanderson twice. First time I had an email saying I would have to buy new blinds and that they currently had a sale!
Telephoned again and was told that they couldn’t supply the spare parts. Couldn’t give me an answer when I asked if they would if still in warranty!
Wouldn’t send a fitter to assist either.

I contacted the aftercare team in order to obtain a fitter to remove and reinstall my Duette blinds to a bedroom window double glazed units that had misted up and needs replacing.
I was amazed that the person at the end of the phone just kept repeating that they do not provide this service, and could not suggest anyone who did.
What sort of rag tag organisation is this I thought to myself that does not provide any after services for there products.
I would not and will not recommend Sandersons in the future to anyone

Steve Hind was very helpful. He explained how to get the blind speed up via whatsapp video call. He went through the process of working the other blinds that were having some problems

The whole process went very smoothly, and the installer Zsolt was absolutely fantastic

I was quoted £2400 for shutters (one window!) in Feb this year. It was a lot of money but I thought I would go ahead as the company is well known and (I thought!) reliable. I paid a 10% deposit and waited. . and waited and waited. 5 months on and I was called by the fitter who asked if he could come and fit them the next day. I readily agreed and quickly took down my existing blinds and disposed of then. The following morning Ithe fitter called me to say he hasn't been able to find the shutters !! They hadn't been delivered after all. After many phone calls it turns out they hadn't even been shipped. Don't be fooled into thinking these are made in the UK ! They are produced in china then shipped over! After a few extra weeks of waiting and they still couldn't give me a new date and I'd had enough and decided to cancel. I then experienced some really shoddy customer care. No communication when I requested a refund. They failed to return my call when I spoke to an advisor. They failed to respond to my email requesting a refund. So 5 months on I still have nothing, All they can say is they are in production. Today they finally called and agreed to refund me and cancel the order. I requested compensation as I disposed of my old window fittings in preparation for the shutters arriving and now have been left with no privacy at all ( these are big 10 ft by 6 ft windows as well!) they declined saying it's not something they offer. So now I have to start the process all over again with a different company and will have to buy something temporary to put up. Thomas sanderson have been AWFUL. The customer service was dire and I could never recommend them.

Dan Hallum is the best customer service representative you could possibly ask to speak to. The issue we had was registered and will hopefully solved immediately.

I had 2 Thomas Sanderson blinds fitted 7 years ago. These are approximately £2000 on today's prices. The salesman assured us that out of the 5 year warranty they had a chargeable repair service. Both blinds have failed and I now find that TS refuse to repair out of warranty. If you are happy to part with £2000 every 5 years (depending on when they fail) then go to Thomas Sanderson. If this is not your wish then may I suggest you buy elsewhere?!

Average quality blinds, awful post sales support.

Despite being under warranty, it has taken nearly 3 months to repair my blinds, leading to a lack of privacy in my apartment. Despite multiple calls and emails, there is a distinct lack of urgency from the support team or the "engineers" to resolve this.

This is not my first dealing with their "support". I've had multiple encounters to fix charging issues, broken cables, squeaking blinds within the first year.

After paying a significant amount of money for the blinds I did expect better service and more robust blinds.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

We ordered blinds back in March and paid half the cost upfront. Since then, communication has been appalling. The initial install date came and went with no updates—we had to chase them ourselves.

We've been given excuse after excuse for the delays, and despite promises of priority fitting and return calls since Tuesday, we've heard nothing unless we initiate contact.

Still no progress. Extremely frustrating and disappointing experience. Avoid this company at all costs.

Shutters Installation Review – Craig Knowles

From the initial measuring service to the final installation, Craig Knowles was absolutely fantastic. He was polite, respectful, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Craig took the time to explain everything clearly and logically, ensuring we understood each step. His professionalism during the installation was outstanding—from the precision of his work to the thorough clean-up afterward. We couldn’t be happier with the service. Craig was simply excellent from start to finish.

We ordered shutters from Thomas Sanderson which look amazing until you close them.example bay window with 4 shutters not one close the same.
Now Hillaries I believe , eventually got them come to the house to see the . Apparently they can’t guarantee they all close the same.
Obviously poor quality control , they have now offered no solution and seem to have washed their hands with this . I wonder what any guarantee is worth.
If your thinking of purchasing shutters or anything else, think again because customer satisfaction doesn’t exist.

Lovely shutters but as soon as the guarantee runs out your on your own!
My clips that hold the shutters in place are braking or popping out, but this company supply no aftercare service, even though ive said several times that iam very happy to pay for an engine to come out to rectify my problem???
My shutters are looking terrible now, ive tried u tube for a video but to no success

We had some blinds installed ref: 11336784

Fitter was moody, stroppy, delayed in installing them took ages I’m talking days to fit.

Then months later got a bill we thought had been settled they then harassed us to a email we did not have access to anymore. At no point did they write to us to say contact us. we next had legal letters! We tried to pay straight away of course and no one would answer the phone.

Client services said nothing on file when we called them. I emailed about 5 times no reply but one, to say call this number instead we did guess what no one can help they don’t know what we are on about! You don’t! Not do we!!

Overall customer service in this place is awful, quick to take your money but if you need them awful.

My other half left a review they don’t care not even followed it up. Dont recommend

Absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable service. My blinds started coming off within 8-10 months and then reached out to them via email , no one responded. Then got hold of the customer care and called them. They sent someone who took off one of the blind. This is start of May I am talking about, have called them atleast 5-6 times , they keep on saying this has been escalated and someone will be in touch and the fitters phone is going on voicemail. Seriously!!! They have one fitter they rely on ???? I am left with a blank window for over 2-3 months. No communication what so ever , don’t care about customers in anyway. I have sent them a final notice to respond within 14 days , 3 days already gone. I am already prepping my lawyer on this. These are expensive blinds that I got and now they don’t have any respect what so ever for the warranty terms …
Stay away from them !!! There are many good ones out there I am sure …

We have had an appalling service from this company. We placed an order seven months ago for two straightforward simple blinds and we are still waiting for the installation to be completed. Wrong parts were delivered and they do not appear to be able to get the correct parts. There is a total lack of communication although we do get an apologetic email back from customer services after 72 hours (customer services must be very busy)

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Do Not Recommend

I used this company for shutters, and the experience has been nothing short of frustrating. There were issues with the payment process from the start, and despite being told the installation would be quick, the whole process was delayed and dragged out forever. The fitter was rude, moody, and seemed completely uninterested in providing any decent customer service.

Calling the company is a nightmare – expect to wait at least 30 minutes on hold, and when you finally get through, the staff is unhelpful and has zero empathy. Everything feels very transactional, with no effort to make you feel like a valued customer.

The hospitality from all team members was extremely poor. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is not a priority. I’ve now had to submit a data access request just to get some basic information.

After spending thousands with them, I would not recommend this company to anyone. I certainly won’t be spending my money here again. Terrible service all around.
